Butterflies & kittens


I just finished a tote bag for my mom's birthday. She's a quilter who likes bright colors and I thought this fabric would be just the thing. It's from a P&B Textiles' collection called Bliss, which I found at my local quilt shop, Quiltworks Northwest. The bag pattern came from a Fons & Porter's Love of Quilting supplement called Sew Your Style. It also has instructions for placemats, pillows, and other things. What I thought was cute about it are the pleats on each side:


Here's the inside:

It's reversible so she can carry it either way.

Here is my kitten drawing as it stands now. I'm not happy with the background or the blanket yet, so you may be seeing an improved version soon! I like the kitties, though.
