Going on a little trip soon and one day of the trip will be sewing with a group of friends making Amy Butler's "Weekender Travel Bag". Wanted to do a little prep so that I could jump right in to making the bag - took longer than I thought to cut out all the pieces and quilt the main parts of the bag and the outside pockets. Will be great to see all the different bags when they're finished.
I'm so looking forward to meeting up with some old friends and meeting the other girls from our on-line group.
I love slicing up fabric and, after searching through my pattern folders, have plans for a few quilt tops. First to be cut out is "Basket Case" designed by Cluck, Cluck, Sew. I still have plenty of this Oh Cherry Oh fabric and need to use it up.
These "Sew Together Bags" are taking quite a while to make - well, procrastination is the real reason. Hope to finish them off soon.

Hi Lynda you have some awesome projects ready to do there,what a lovely idea sewing the bags together on a sewing day,not long to go now my friend.xx
lots of lovely bags being made at your place.
like your new quilting project too.
I have made 2 Sew Together bags - first one took 10 days on and off, made second one in a day! Am hoping that the Weekender Bag goes okay, been giving me nightmares already!!
You are going to be busy! :o) Love the fabric you chose for your Weekender Bag. Great move to get it all cut and ready to sew. Have a great day sewing with your friends.
Love the fabric for your new project. Great prep work, it does pay off in the end. Enjoy your road trip.
You'll need a holiday after preparing for your holiday, Lynda - and probably one afterwards as well! Have a lovely time.
Have a great week end, looks like you have heaps of stitching packed... xxx
