I have made a lot of Aneela Hoey Patterns, but Lynette, I think has made more.

The one she talked about was the one she used to show all the different interfacings when she did a skillbuilder demo at a meeting last year. It is kind of a dome shaped bag in the center of the photo with several examples.<\/p>\n<p>I love bags, bag patterns and other people&#8217;s bags so this was a great trunk show for me. I especially love Lynette&#8217;s work. I think I am a pretty good bagmaker, but I have a lot to learn from her.<\/p>\n<p>The presentation started off with a quilt that Lynette made as part of a <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/2011-11-05-14.27.51sm.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">challenge<\/a> when the guild was young.
