This bag is called the Bow Tucks Tote and is from a pattern by Penny Sturges who is the designer behind the company Quilts Illustrated
I just noticed she has a new blog too so I plan on keeping an eye on that as her bags are so easy to make.
This is the front of the bag (picture is clickable for a better view)
I used Moda Madeira fabric from Blackbird Designs. It's an older fabric line and the schoolgirl sampler print is not easy to find but I managed to get an end of bolt piece together with one FQ which was just enough.
The bag still needed a button or toggle fastening when the picture was taken.
Here's a view of the back of the bag
and here's a view of the side
and because I have nothing else to show today here are another two views of the bag front.
I have some finished cross stitch to share but can't show it until it has flown all the way to Tasmania.
Thanks for visiting my blog and for the lovely comments you leave. I've had a couple of deadlines to meet so am behind on blog reading but hope to catch up with everyone soon. I'm sure there are lots of lovely Autumn projects out there that I just can't wait to see!

Oh Margaraet, this is by far the most spectacular bag you have made, it's gorgeous.
I thought you were sending this on to someone, but maybe you have changed your mind and are keeping it for yourself - and who could blame you - it is BEAUTIFUL!!! You are a bag-maker-lady extraordinaire!

Sorry to disapoint you ladies but this gorgeous bag now lives in Canada! My quilt group went wild when they saw it!
Thank you so much Margaret for this beautiful bag. As always your taste in fabric/patterns and sewing is perfecto!
I'm just sewing on the third button. The first two were nice but once sewn on were not worthy of this bag :-)
This bag is wonderful! I had never thought of using this fabric for a bag, what a great idea! You're a fantastic bag-maker. :)
Margaret, you are such a talent! Love all the bags that you have done. I love the fabric on this bag - being as I love to do samplers! Christine is one lucky gal.
Great job.
