Dear Jane tote

Do you remember my Dear Jane blocks from a previous post.  I had started to sew them together.  Today I have put it all together.

Made handles the easy way.

And this is how my Dear Jane tote looks like.  This is one side……

And this is the other side.

I like pockets with zippers in my totes, so I made one in this too.  I am so happy with how this tote turned out.  Will bring it with me to Shipshewana and keep my sewing in it.  Only 19 days left until Hanne and I starts our journey.

Saying for today:

Progress on my Dear Jane tote

Today I have done some progress on my Dear Jane tote.  Sewed the blocks together.  Took a long time because there were different sewingallowance on the blocks, so I had to trace lines to sew along.  So this is the front and the back of the tote.  I have been inspired by the Dear Jane tote that Hanne made some time ago, you can see it here.

And in between I have been handquilting on my Antique Sampler quilt.  With good help from Rusken.
