My Mom and I always sew together when I visit and this trip was no exception. :-)
My first project was to finish a bag I started for her before leaving home. She has always wanted a really big bag to take to guild when she has quilts to show or when they have sew days.
I made myself this bag a few years ago and love taking it to retreat, so this is her new bag~
The inside~
I put foam core board in the bottom for stability. I usually cover it, but the white makes it easier to see into the bottom this time.
One side~
It has a lot of pockets both inside and out. The sides can be cinched for smaller 'loads'. I can't remember the name of the pattern right now, but when I come across it, I will add it to this post. :-)

(but I did modify it so I wasn't binding all the seams. ;-)

I hope you have been enjoying some summer sewing too!
Until next time~
Happy Quilting!

Love the bag, and what a great tip about making the bottom white!
That is lovely. The colors are terrific too.
Sandie - long time no chat!!!!!!! So glad you stopped by and entered the giveaway for the TextMe fabrics. :)
I hope you are having a summer - it sounds like you are since you are sewing with your Mom! How fun and precious is that....
Take care!
Wow - that is really a nice bag. Pretty colors too. I'm glad you got it done for your mom. That's a very nice gift.
Nice bag! I love the patchwork at the top. Have a nice Summer :-)
