I absolutely love to read!
I kept a log of books I read last year and along the way forgot to write a few down, but the total was 75 books! Not audio books, not counting magazines or quilt books. Just novels, primarily fiction, either historical fiction or a good James Patterson. ;-)
I am past a dozen this year, and I know I forgot to write down the ones I returned to the library a few weeks ago. Oops.
Anyway, did you know Sara @ Sew Sweetness has a Book Club this year? And she has designed an accompanying project to go with each book.... and it is a free pattern! :-)
The first book was 'The Sewing Machine' by Natalie Fergie
It was a quick read and a really good story!
The accompanying project was the Clydebank Tote.
Here is mine...
The pattern comes in two sizes. It has a top closing zipper, and two inside zipper pockets.
I made the largest size and it is going to make a perfect
'Mary Poppins' bag when I visit grandkiddoes! :-)
I did change mine up slightly; adding the faux leather to the sides and bottom, and adding purse feet to the bottom. The fabrics are all quilters cottons and the great shape comes from the foam interfacing.
I hope you will join me in reading the next book and doing the project. If you do, please let me know in the comments. ;-) The book is 'The Last Runaway' by Tracy Chevalier
I checked it out of the library and could hardly put it down last night!
Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!!

I'm a voracious reader and James Patterson is a favorite. I've gotten into William Kent Krueger and John Sandford novels in the past couple of years. The weird thing is that the type of books I like would never be the type of movie I would go see. Love to read thrillers, but hate that type of movie.
