My immediate family knows me as the bag lady.  If there’s a bag from a gift or a store that I want, I get it. 

A couple of years ago, the girls were with me when I was shopping for fabric for a special quilt, and they demanded that if I was having fun then they wanted to have fun, too.   So, I broke down and bought them a pattern and the fabric to make some bags.   Everything has been sitting in a drawer since then. 

Until DD#1 got a wild hair and decided she wanted to make her bag. 

A couple of days later, she brought me this:

I only needed to help her a touch, by using my Bernina with the walking foot to secure the lining and handles to her bag.  I’m so proud – but, still wondering if I’ve passed on this wonderful quilting passion….or the bag lady gene to her.
