    Noooo! That's awful..and reminds me of the time my hubby "donated" 2 quilt tops and 2 plug in warmer blanket throws along with the stack of afghans and scarves my mom and I had made for our local homeless shelter...Mom was in the hospital, I stay with her 24/7 when she has to stay. Hubby was doing some organizing, etc. He found the big box full of afghans and scarves, not realizing yours truly had "stashed" the 2 quilt tops and electric throws in the same box one day when company was unexpectedly stopping by..So much for my "quick cleaning"..lol.. What's worse is I can just picture the volunteers at the shelter wondering who is goofy enough to donate plug in throws for people who have no permanent address.

    On the quilt tote bag, I love the idea...and the colors you used are terrific! Of course I am partial to green...

    Nice bag. You will easily be able to pick out yours at collection time.

    Thanks for sharing! That gives me an idea to make a bag, using some of the fabs in the quilt for my DGK. My oldest DGS grads next yr along with my oldest DGD…. Maybe they could use the bag for laundry?..

    Love the stitching idea. Neat way to have a way to see all the stitches your machine can do along with a beautiful bag to boot! :-)

    Great BAG!!!! Have you ever wondered why you just had to have a machine with all those decorative stitches????
    I am finding ways to use them too. There was someone on one of those quilting/sewing shows who was showing ways to combine stitches. The only one I can remember is a narrow satin stitch, then back over it with a wider stitch that made it look like a ribbon had been run thru some of the stuff we use to trim with.

    I just made a pillowcase to carry a quilt in. Wish I'd have thought if a tote!
