This bag was a request from my cousin for her daughter, who is a teacher. I had a really hard time finding teacher themed fabric, but I did find this alphabet fabric. Also requested were bright primary colors - and boy is it bright! Then I found this really cute Ric-rac - I couldn't resist.
Quilting was fun too - lots of loops to offset all of the straight lines in a colorful variegated thread. She wanted her daughter's name on it, but, frankly, I didn't trust my free motion quilting skills quite enough to do her whole name. So I settled for initials instead. Can you see them in the picture? They are there, but subtle and I like the way that looks. The alphabet fabric would have competed with any other kind of lettering, I think.
I hope she likes it!
Very cute. If you click on the image to make it big you can see the initials.
