This <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/tag\/crafty-gemini-organizer-club\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">club<\/a> was in 2018. Apparently cutting this out made me so excited that I want to push aside some of my other projects and get this done! I need to control myself, or do a little and then get back to making gifts.<\/p>\n<p>The black and white fabric is intended to be the exterior. I bought it at <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2021\/05\/sew-creative-ashland-ore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sew Creative in Ashland<\/a> the first time I visited with Mary M. It is a cotton-linen blend and kind of thick. It isn&#8217;t quite canvas, but it is tending that way. I always intended to make bags from it. I just haven&#8217;t gotten around to it until now. I also have the same fabric in grey.<\/p>\n<p>The interior fabric was used a thousand years ago on <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2008\/04\/two-bag-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">one of the first bags<\/a> that I made. I think it is a reproduction of a 1940s print. It shreds like crazy, so I think it must be a Moda, but I love the design.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I spent some time at the November Sew Day cutting out this bag.
