Issue #261 December 29, 2023 |
Well... with 2023 almost in the books, and just a few more days before we start a new year, I'm looking forward to 2024! I'm hoping for a more peaceful, less stressful year than the last one was.
And since we're putting the finishing touches on our next new pattern as we speak, (which I am leaning toward calling the "Tandem DayPack"), just click HERE to see a "yet to be revealed" sample!
So while I get back to work, please enjoy this edition of "Bag Making is FUN!"... our last one of 2023!

A new Museum of Fine Arts, Boston exhibition, “Fabric of a Nation: American Quilt Stories” features over 300 years of American quilts. I especially focuses on works by an underrecognized diversity of artistic hands and minds from the 17th century to today. {Click HERE to find out more.}
