Handbags

I've been in the mood to make handbags or totes. All sorts of patterns have been coming my way and I've tried several. I especially like the small patchwork tote and the bigger knitting bag. The pattern for these came from Ruth in Oregon from my Stashbuster online list. On closer examination the small tote has the handle on the front instead of to the sides as Ruth suggested. Oh, well, it suits me.

The brown print bag is from Allpeoplequilt.com challenge this month. It was time consuming (for me) but I like the results. The small aqua bag is something that might work for party bags at the kids party. Very easy to make. My photography leaves a bit to be desired, but I'm getting better at it.
