Of course, hat being said, I know a lot of it depends on where you are in the country.

What puzzled me about the post from RWQuilts was the reference to "padded" vinyl. If you were to quilt vinyl on a sewing machine it would leave needle holes which I would think would 'leak' through if something spilled.

I'm curious to know if it is a special fabric and if so where would one find it. Can't believe there's a fabric out there that slipped through my radar of must have or at least must try!

I charge $8 for mine. I'm up here on the panhandle. The way I do mine, the vinyl is treated as one for the lining, so you can quilt your outside bag fabric...works well & no holes in the vinyl. Hope this helps. I've never heard of the padded vinyl.

Rhonda, where do you buy the padded vinyl. If it's chain store what section of the fabric would I look in?

Thanks,

VickiM,

So just the 'table cloth' vinyl you buy at Wal-mart or JoAnns? Are you using the thinnest one? Do you include any laundry instructions when you sell them (hand wash, line dry?)

I'm on the opposite side of the state. Do you ever come to the Quilt Expo in Jacksonville? If so, maybe we'd have the opportunity to meet and do lunch one day.

what do you want in the next swap? I open to suggestions!!

I think bags of any kind would be good. It could be a tote or a purse or a makeup bag?

Okay let me know if you want to sign up for this. I can do a bag swap and then do whatever you all want after that one.
