\"\"<\/a>I bought the fabric for this tote at Capital Quilts in Gaithersburg, MD. The flower fabric appealed to me even though chocolate is a major color in the fabric.

\"\"<\/a>This is a tote that I started, what seems like, months ago. I, finally, was able to finish it in Maryland. I love Love LOVE the turquoise bubble dot fabric.

As soon as I got home, I sewed the fabrics into Christmas gift bags and am looking forward to using them during future holiday seasons.<\/p>\n
