Large Wire Frame Tote

My sister, Shaina, found the pattern for the Large Wire Frame Tote in Havre at the Bearly Square Quilt Shop.  The pattern is from the Fat Quarter Gypsy.  Shaina wanted Mom to make the tote for her to haul her groceries.  Shaina owns Andy's Restaurant in Havre.  Although Shaina asked Mom when she was going to have the totes done once, Mom told her that she needed help from me to understand the directions.

A number of months ago, Mom brought the pattern to me to have me explain it in words.  It didn't work out so this round, she brought supplies to create the totes.  Our first stop was Bernina to get extra supplies.  At that time, I purchased supplies for me to create a tote too.  I wanted to created a tote so I could show Mom what to do with her totes.  I wanted to stay one step ahead.

By the time Mom headed back to Havre, she had completed one tote.  She had started on the other three she is intending to make for Shaina.

I used some of my Judy Niemeyer fabric for this project.  I like the result a lot.
