The things are I hold dear, are our dogs, and the freedom to express ourselves however we want, and I just love the Christmas season, and childrens ability to look at everything with wonder, so on went Santa and the reindeer.Over here that means the beach and everything that goes with it, I also collect small Christmas trees, so there was another outside pocket. The handles were santa under palm trees, in boats, plating golf, relaxing in general.
Inside there are a number of pockets, we must store things, but the fabric is a gold dragon with red flames. I adore dragons and the mystery that surrounds them. They are meant to be extremely nuturing and loyal, so I thought this also was appropriate.Okay, book written, lecture over, here's the pics.......

Ok, here's my tote for the 'What I Hold Dear' tote swap. Besides doing one in cats, a sewing theme was the only other choice I wanted to do. I feel like a day is lost if I don't get to sew. I didn't do a cat tote as the person that gets this might not like kitties.. :cry: I hope ya'all like it. I didn't have to babysit today so I made hay while I could.. :lol: And yes, it is quilted, just can't see the stitching. :wink:

Beautiful tote. I will post a pic of mine by the end of the week. I had 8 RR at the house so I have been catching up on those 5 go out tomorrow. Another came in the mail so I only have 4 now but this is next of importance on my list. My theme is flowers and I love beads so there will be some beading on it too.

I love your sewing tote! I'll admit that I'm one who is not especially fond of kitties (I have 10 dogs). I am the same as you... I can't think right if I don't make time to sew SOMETHING! Great tote!
