Ballet Tote Bag

I just completed my latest project.... A little tote bag for Mallory, my friend Shirley's granddaughter. I can hardly wait to give it to her....I hope she likes it. I got the idea for it from a quilting friend of my step-mom a year ago this past spring. Sadly, my step-mom passed away on July 16th. She was instrumental in developing my love of quilting. She was an awesome quilter and I will miss her and her guidance.

Here is a picture of the little bag. I found the ribbon garland at Michaels as well as the black tote bag and the iron on ballet shoes appliqué. I used 3 meters of the ribbon garland and layered and zig-zag stitched it 4 times around the bag. Initially I was not going to use the satin ribbon and bow but I thought it was needed so I went back to Michaels and picked up a darker pink satin ribbon to finish it off.




I am just about finished the little placemats I am making for my grandson so I will take pictures and post them soon. I am really pleased with them.

Hugs, Liz
