The fabric, oh...and some bags

It's always fun to peruse the shelves and walls of the local fabric stores and even better bringing home some great finds!  I've built up a bit of a stash over the years and rarely have the courage to cut up those pretty designs.  Well, over the last several months, I put in some effort and made some bags!  I used fusible fleece in all bags except for the sewing machine bag; for that one I used batting and added a few rows of quilting.  It was a good feeling to get productive, and now at least I've made something useful and fun to look at with delight!  I also wanted to share the joy with others so I made a bag for Priscilla and Chelsea (Stitching with the Housewives) in each of their fabric design, and also one for them to share with a fellow stitcher!  Now, let's see the bags.
