Making a Bag - Gift for a Dear Friend

So a pattern in a Country Threads magazine Vol 13 No.4 for a lovely patchwork bag designed by Leeanne Pitman.

I made 2 bags - one like this which I gave to my lovely daughter in-law for her birthday. I didn't take a photo of that but it did turn out lovely.



The second bag I made I changed slightly: I used a different panel front & inserted pockets on the inside.           
I used this favorite saying my friend loves as the front Panel


I inserted pockets on the back of the bag liner




The view from the back of the bag

The finished project - well nearly finished I just have to hand stitch the binding .
I think the bag turned out very well - I'm sure my friend will like it.
