I know I showed you a picture of one of these finished HERE … but When I cut out the fabric for these 4 wine totes, I cut out 4 – 14″ x 15 ½” pieces, plus the 4 purple satin lining pieces for inner lining. I obviously wasn’t thinking!!! For some reason, I thought I’d need a front and a back piece of both for one wine bag. DUH!!! I did finish up 2 of them … and I had this extra fabric sitting there … SEW … I embroidered 2 more totes. I much prefered the one with batting in it – so batting was used (along with a stabilizer) for each of the other totes. My daughter has already claimed one … I have a destination in mind for another … who knows what will happen to the other 2?
I know that I also said that I started this new quilt and hoped to have it done by Saturday (tomorrow) … well … I don’t think that’s going to happen … Visiting with friends took priority. As it should!
I haven’t finished putting the top together … There are 2 more seams, then I need to make the pieced borders … then I can sandwich and quilt it. But the label is made!
Happy Quilting!
Gail

Lovely wine totes! I’m sure they will all find a home soon. And you’re quite right, the quilt can wait when friends come to call. Thanks for linking up to Wednesday Wait Loss.
