A very productive day!

I have a Gammill longarm and had the Statler Stitcher retrofitted in 2014.  I love it!  The premier teacher (in my opinion) for the Statler program is Joan Knight.  She and Joyce Lundrigan have joined forces and offer a monthly online class called Skill Builders.  Each project is different and they take you thru piecing whatever the project is, and then completely quilting it - all the while you learn how to use the many parts of the program.  It is a wonderful class.  So, I signed up for the very first class and every class since.  But sometimes there isn't time to do the projects.  I print them off and also save the videos they provide with each class.  

 So, last year in July they offered a tote bag pattern.  I did all the quilting on it, but then it sat for over a year!  Today I put it together! (Keep in mind, I don't sew - which is probably why it sat that long).

The piece across the back is loose so you can hang it over your luggage when traveling. And of course I used Kansas Troubles fabric for mine, since I always have some on hand and it's still my favorite!

I did some more piecing after I finished the bag, but I'll save that for tomorrow.  

Until next time....blessings.
