Thinking of Valentine’s Day? That’s exactly what this fun fabric makes me think of every time I see it! This small sized tote measuring, approximately 9 1/2″h x 10″w x 5″, is perfect for carrying a lunch or a few items to the gym. I’ve even used this type of tote as a gift bag filled with tissue paper and items for a special someone.

The bag is made from %100 cotton quilt quality fabric inside and out. The inner lining is a polyester batting and the entire bag has been machine quilted. The straps have also been inner lined with batting for added support and comfort. It is machine washable on a gentle cycle.

Because we are getting close to Valentine’s Day, I am offering this bag for only $20 with FREE shipping to anywhere in the U.S. or Canada. If you are outside of the U.S. and Canada, we can discuss a reduced fee. :-D

Wordless Wednesday – Breast Cancer Awareness

This tote bag is available for $40. I will provide a discount to anyone who has donated $10 or more to any of the legitimate Breast Cancer funds or, if you have or plan to walk in any of the Breast Cancer fund raising walks such as the 3 Day walk. If you qualify for the discount, the bag is $25.

I decided to design and craft another funĀ  quilted tote bag in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I love all of the ladies on this fabric! They appear again on the inside of the bag as pockets. The bag measures approx. 12″ wide at the bottom and is approx. 15″ high. There are 5 interior pockets and it has a magnetic snap closure. The bag has been machine quilted and is made of 100% cotton, quilt quality fabric. The tote bag as well as the handles have batting for added support and softness. This bag is machine washable.

Not So Wordless Wednesday in Honor of Breast Cancer Awareness


I’ve had this fabric for several months and knew I wanted to make a tote bag, I just couldn’t decide which one to make. I became inspired Saturday morning, perhaps it was because I had just completed my last blood test for the year, and because it’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I wanted to make this one special.

The tote bag measures approximately 18″ x 19″ and has a magnetic snap closure at the top. The fabric is all 100% quilt quality, and most of the fabric is from the Breast Cancer collection. The exterior of the bag is machine pieced and quilted, all by me. There are 2 exterior pockets, one on each side of the bag, and 3 interior pockets.

The size of this tote bag makes it perfect for carrying just about anything, whether it’s sewing supplies, exercise gear, or diapers, it’s got plenty of room.

Fabric Tote Bag with Embroidery

This is one of my favorite tote bags. It’s a little hard to see in the photograph, but the main tote fabric and the pocket fabrics are mirror opposites. One is black with white flowers and the other is white with black flowers. I have machine embroidered the center pocket. The entire bag, including the handles, has been inner-lined with batting for added support and softness and has a total of 6 exterior pockets, 3 on each side. I am selling this bag for $30 plus shipping. Yes, I do ship anywhere. :-D
