I signed up for the BAM swap and received Lindsay. I don’t know her very well. I talked to her briefly at a recent meeting as she rummaged through a stack of donation blocks I had recently donated. You know I love it when people use my blocks. \ud83d\ude09 It is such a great feeling of collaboration.<\/p>\n

I kind of like doing the swaps,though this one was hard. I kind of gave up on the theme, though Rhonda, the organizer is pretty lax about sticking to the theme. I have to learn to be more like her.<\/p>\n

I went through my patterns after I saw that Lindsay requested a bag. I have a lot of bag patterns and need to start plowing through them. I came up with the Classmate Bag<\/a> by Terry Atkinson. It is not a large tote sized bag, but I thought it would be useful for going to class.<\/p>\n

I have heard good things about Atkinson designs patterns and the company certainly has a lot of patterns out. I can’t remember ever making something from their line.<\/p>\n

This bag went together pretty well, especially when I was able to concentrate after Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n

The problem I always have for these types of swaps is fabric. I don’t buy a lot of the lines that modern quilters seem to swarm over. I chose some leftover Tula Pink fabric from a project for which I made a block for Kelly<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It looks pretty good on the outside, I think. I am surprised to see how well the pattern of the fabric matches up. That was a happy accident.<\/p>\n

This was a good enough pattern to make me think that I might make this bag again for another friend. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
