Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

OK – so something has happened to me. Aliens have taken over my body or something. I had another long day in front of the sewing machine. While I try to sew a bit every day – I am never this focused. A “friend” (and I am using that word loosely now that I have made this pattern) made a beautiful bag. The pattern is called The Weekender by Amy Butler. The Weekender travel bag by Amy Butler Maria and I were admiring the bag and decided that we wanted to make the bag.  Our mutual “friend” who shall remain nameless (right Claudette!!!) had in fact made several of the bags. Yes – she had said that it was a challenge to make but NEVER said that it was a REAL CHALLENGE to make.
