Hi, I’m Donna! My granddaughter and I share a birthday. She’s a busy teen, active in volleyball, tennis and cheerleading so she is often off to tournaments and sports camps. I saw this bag made up at my local quilt shop and knew she’d like it. It’s the Mega Bow Tucks Tote from Quilts Illustrated designed by Penny Sturges. I bought the bright colorful fabric first, but found out it was not quite to her taste. So she’s getting the pink batik bag. I’m getting the colorful one! The bag is a really good size for weekend trips, 18 inches wide by 17 inches tall by 8 inches deep. The swivel hooks can be undone to create more space. There are lots of interior pockets as well as a large exterior one.

A lot of work but well worth the effort. Thanks!
Donna

    Beautiful bags and so versatile as well! The use of the swivel hooks is a great idea.
