I was at the Sussex Quilt Show a couple of weeks ago. I saw the unique Wide Open bag that Gail F. made. I had seen it on her blog here, but when I saw it in person, I knew I had to make it.
Well it happens that I just got a package from Pat at Heartfelt Quilt Shop in Florida. And what was in the package...among many things, was a kit to make the Open Wide bag. It's like serendipity. I love when that happens.
I really enjoyed the different techniques in making the bag. I used Annie's Soft and Stable for the first time. After pre-quilting it with fabric, cut out the pieces and sew them together, add a zip and bind. The bag is firm and I know it will hold it's shape. The pattern has three sizes. Pat sent me a kit to make the medium size, but with the leftovers, I was able to make the small size too. I found the small size was quite tedious to do. I'll stick to the medium size. :)
