The Bag Lady......I'm A Little Biased.....love chenille....





Biased fabric and chenille....lots of room, pockets inside...straps

Add your tools, ladies!!

I just "felt" like it !!..chenille hair-do!

Fun to hang on a chair, or take shopping
This Blog Hop has opened up a new world for me...a newbie....I am also new to the Doll Quilt Monthly and there you get a new partner each month to exchange a Doll Quilt, and get to meet other quilters and that is the best part of all!!  Meeting y'all in the Hop has been a blast!!
 I hope you enjoy what I did with "My Bag Lady", she "felt" like she needed to be used as a bag that can be taken to quilt gatherings or just hang around on the back of a chair.  The chair in the photo is from the early 1800's belonging to ancestors as the ladies sewing chair.  Can't you just see a lady with a long dress sitting there quilting?....I love it...little granddaughters climb up into as toddlers...and a Dobbie (granny) like me still sits in it too
"My Bag Lady"is like me, she is full of all kinds of colors, thoughts, energies and service!  She has a pocket inside to carry extra things; on the outside is a ruffled pocket on the back...easy access!!...I love chenille and it was in my stash calling out to me for this Bag Lady!! So, she has chenille hair and also a blocked chenille front.
 Thank you for stopping by and please come back often.  May  Quilted Blessings Abound to You,  Karen

Also, you can link to the blog at our Sponsors page and I do give Thanks for all the work that she and her partners have accomplished to get this together and keep going! I give you KUDOOS!! It Must take tons of work! We notice!! Stichin' By The Lake  
And Amy Bradley did it again with her design she shared with us!  Thank You!!!
