The class we taught yesterday was how to make the Snappy Tote. It's called the Snappy Tote because it uses the metal from a carpenter's tape measure to create the "snap" for closure. It's a very easy class in which you learn how to machine quilt a small project, as well as a few other techniques for basic bag making.
Our group is filled with over achievers and Betty was certainly the outstanding over achiever Tuesday. I am always emphasizing to the group that a pattern is just a guideline and jumping off of it is highly encouraged for creative development. Betty jumped off in leaps and bounds and came up with a purse with grosgrain and key chain hooks, as well as a matching Kleenex holder. Cool!
All the ladies that started the project in class finished it.
Here is a view of our new church, Northeast Christian Church, being built right beside us.
