Some bags for my granddaughters. Thank you Toogie for the inspiration. The one of "tags" is made from tags of garments that someone close to her have worn, or something she enjoys! Even down to the button. Her name is Madison!

Lovely bags. The labels one is a great idea. I remember Raelene made a quilt using labels. She got labels from all over the world from Cuties

Ralene's quilt was the first thing I thought of when I saw this/Lillian

That would have been quite an undertaking. Gathering the labels was the hardest part for me.

WOW !!! Look how well your bags are! I know the grand daughters will be tickled pink. I was so busy reading the labels, I had to click on the bag again, to see how it was made-lol-Did you do the quilting on the tropical one? I know you assigned each one to their owner, as it will be hard for them to choose. Great job-Toogie

Yes, I quilted the tropical one. I should have put the quilting closer together. The camo was fabric leftover from a dress the granddaughter made & entered in the sewing expo.
thanks, Cindy
