What was your inspiration?

These beautiful colorful batiks

What are you most proud of?

My Mother-in-law had hinted that she needed a tote bag for her shopping trips and I knew if I put my mind to it I could create one for her and what you see is exactly that. I'm most proud that I actually finished it!!!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

It is rather simple really -- I started by making two log cabin blocks and then added the sides and bottom in the width that would make the bag functional for shopping trips and library books etc.
