This bag... Is crazy easy. One main piece and 2 gussets and thats it! The whole bag is basically made flat with the handle as one giant loop added all the way across while the bag is still a flat rectangle. I highly recommend it is an easy bag.

Sorry for the delayed response, we have been in Portland at Spring Quilt Market and are just now getting a minute to answer some emails.
The pattern is up and available in both printed and pdf format on the site now.
Thanks so much for your patience!

Hopefully you have already gotten a glimpse of our new CHERRY PIE pattern, here. I am in love with that one at the moment, although the others that I am about to start showing you are not far behind. In fact, this might be one of my all time favorite jelly roll patterns we have done. It is so s...

We have no information about the quilts from the show or booths. Just eye candy.

Our music is a mix of French folk music and some American light pop stuff that I love. I just made up the playlist but a lot of times on those sites, you can download someone elses playlist I think... Of course I would have absolutely no idea how to do that!
