The books are 8×8 blank sketchbooks. Yes finished appliqués, some quilted. The book is getting very fat now. Struggling to close it. There’s not a lot of text, just a reminder to myself of when they were done, why and the materials.

I’m not a traditional quilter so my take on a bag, is to make the ornamentation first. So here’s how to make a panel that can be attached to any bag including the simple shopper in my next instalment.

With your panel finished, it’s now time to choose the fabric for your bag. I have chosen a simple canvas, to show off my panel, you can choose a plain or patterned fabric. I cut my fabric to 38×19 inc…
