The Mail Lady delivers packages from elinor on a fairly regularly basis...usually filled with receipts, bills, paperwork..you know the things that make a business go round~ but every once in awhile (Ok pretty often) she surprises me with something from somewhere she has been (someday I will share my handmade Bear collection from around the world, that has popped up in my mailbox!!) But, my latest package revealed this!!!!
It always amazes me..the attention to detail, that elinor puts into everything she creates! And the collection of trims and bits and pieces that she finds just the right "home" for. I LOVE it!
I think I will have to add this to elinor's available workshops..Wouldn't you love to spend the day with elinor and the bits of treasures you have collected and turn them into a walking fashion statement????
Anyhow, to kick off this tote revolution, we just got in some Tote Patterns and have put together a few kits!
The patterns are quick and EASY to follow. Marcie said the samples each took a couple of hours (except the Jelly Roll Weekender tote, it took about 4 hours)
The patterns are designed by Penny Sturges QUILTSILLUSTRATED and we have 4 different styles available...
The CHARM PARTY TOTE 11" X 14" X 4"
The Mini Charmer 12" X 8" X 2 1/2"
The Mini Charmer Kit with Tina Givens Chloe's Imagination Fabric!!
The Bow Tucks Tote 13" X 11" X 5" The Bow Tucks Kit using Jennifer Paganelli's Bell Bottoms Fabrics!
The WEEKENDER TOTE 16" X 12" X 5" The weekender or Perfect for lugging around your Projects Tote!!
Where can I purchase the first tote that you have on your blog... the one from Elinor? I love the details on it.
