A bag!! Shocker I know! But it is finished, and that's what matters!
I've had this fabric for a couple of years. I bought it on clearance (it's a Waverly drapery print) and just loved the colors. I know, light blue and green - that's surprising too, isn't it? In fact, I liked it so much I almost did my duvet cover in that. Until I found that Amy Butler on clearance.... but I digress.
A friend of mine, who is also expecting, came by a few weeks ago and was interested in a bag and when she told me she loved toile and blue and green, I was so excited! I knew this fabric was waiting for just the right person!
I love the way it turned out. And I love that it is going to someone who will love it as much as I do.

I almost have the baby quilt top done. I couldn't resist rearranging a few things - but I so appreciate everyone's encouragement and candor in giving it a look-see to check for major problems with the layout. I'm really excited about being so close to having it finished.
Speaking of being close - 2 weeks from today there will be a new little person in our lives. Weird to really think about the ramifications of that! It's not like we're excited and planning a big trip or purchase or something else we might be looking forward to. But another person, who we'll love forever? That's pretty amazing.
(I am dialiting and progressing already if you wanted to know details - and did I mention that's she's approx. 8 pounds already?? Just waiting to see if I make it to induction day!)
Can't wait to see what you've been doing this week!

love the bag! waverly toile is one of my favorites. your friends are lucky to be the recipients of all these bags you make! i'm eager to see the finished quilt soon.
I have a thing for toile (obviously, if you see my post for today). Totally in love with that bag.
I can't believe it's almost time for your big baby to arrive! Best of luck. I wish I could be there to bring you dinner or help in some immediate way. I'll be thinking about you.
You picked fabulous colors for your bag....
Thanks for the linkage! The bag is beautiful. :)
Ooh, that bag is so pretty, so serene in that color. I love it.
How awesome and exciting that you'll be welcoming your little one soon!
I love the bag - so pretty! Thanks for the linkage, and for all the inspiration! :o)
Cute bag! Sadly, I can't link up this week. I dropped my laptop yesterday afternoon, which broke the screen. I can't access my pictures!!! It's heartbreaking when you think about it. Luckily we have other computers in the house.
I have always loved that type of print. In those colors it's so lovely.
How exciting to almost be a mom again! I can't believe it's just two weeks away, wow... I bet the kids are anxiously awaiting too. :o)
Th bag is great looking. Nice soft colors. I hope you get the quilt done in time!
It is amazing that you are welcoming a new person to this world to love forever! That a wonderful way to put it!
I love that blue/green combo too Amy! Don't you love it when things work out that way? You buy fabric you love, and then that perfect someone comes along and the fabric starts calling their name. I just love that!
Great bag Amy! Can't wait to see your Love quilt, and I'm excited for you and the upcoming arrival of your little one!
Amy, I am so thrilled for you and your family excitedly awaiting the arrival of the newest member of the family!!! Best wishes.
I never tire of seeing your bags. This one is lovely. Blue and green rock ;-)
love your toile bag! Wish I had a simple favorite bag pattern for gifts and such.
That is so pretty! I love the fabrics you chose. I just found you and linked up a sewing project I just did, now I'm going to run and tell my mom about you. She's a sewing fiend and so good at it!
Thanks for hosting the party!

Great bag! This is my first week linking up and I'm excited to see what everyone is working on and be inspired!
Love the bag, Amy!
I love toile - and using it on a bag is gorgeous! Can't wait to see the baby quilt!
That is soooooooooo gorgeous. I really like toile and blue and green is my all time favorite color combination...what a lucky lady!!
This bag is adorable. I simply love toile, and the colors are refreshing!
I've been having major publishing issues with my site today, so I hope you're able to see it.
What fun it is to see everyone's projects!
Oh wow Amy I love your bag! Such cool and delicious fabrics.
I love the colors of the bag. I have always loved blue and that color green together.
I can't wait to see the baby quilt! Good luck in the next 2 weeks. Talk about a big Friday finish!
How serendipitous!!
Such a great bag! I'm also excited to say this is my first week to "link up" and share my completed project - hopefully I'll be back each week with something I've finished! Thanks for the virtual "deadline"!
Love seeing all those completed projects. Thank you for hosting.
I love toile....yours is so fresh, my favorite color is also blue...
Good luck with your up-coming baby!
The bag is beautiful and a great gift! It's my first time posting here and I wanted to thank you for hosting - it's a wonderful idea.
What a fabulous bag! Add that to my to do list! :) Very cute.
I love a good toile too! And I can't believe it is only two weeks away!!!
Wow -- I've been away for awhile, and has Sew & Tell Friday ever grown! Not that I'm really surprised. It's too fun! :o)
Love your latest bag -- it was definitely meant to be, and I'm so excited for you being this close to your due date. Wishing you a quick and easy labor and delivery. Take care!
My daughter told me about you. I love your bag and the colors. Just Gorgeous! I love to quilt too, and have made many quilts that I have posted about.
This is my second comment but I just have to tell you how wonderful it's been to have comments from people I don't know! That little bit of affirmation is so wonderful!!
