My sister and her family are hosting another Exchange Student from Brazil at thier home. She happens to be younger sister of another exchange student that they hosted a couple years ago. Danny is from Brazil. Her birthday is coming up soon. Last weekend we celebrated birthdays...and this is what I made for Danny. The green fabric has been in my pile for about a year...I love it...came from Walmart. The brown polka-dot fabric came from Goodwill....with an original .68 cent tag on it, from K-Mart! I wanted to incorporate the two prints, so I choose this cute flower design from Embroidery Library to use...and I think it worked! Danny was thrilled! She plans on using it to carry her school books. I was happy with the results...so another similar tote is planned for the near future.

thanks Shirlene! I sure wish I had LOTS of that polka-dot...I have about 2 yds, so will use it very sparingly. It is a border print, so the dots are bigger on the bottem, then gradually get smaller. I tried to show that in the picture, how I used the larger inside to line the bag. It washed up like a dream! Like I said, I wish I had more....oh well, just glad I found what I did!

oh..and Danny...yes, she is a cute little girl! Go through my friends on FB..look for Iuly...that is her sister who was here a couple years ago. They both are very special girls to our family! They are such good eaters...they come here skinny and leave not-so-skinny-anymore! They really like Dairy Queen. Sometimes they go 2 times a day! Danny has not tried DQ yet, as it hasn't opened...but, when it does...watch out!
