A Craftsy Tote

Craftsy asked if  I would like to try out one of their kits,
and I jumped at the offer.
I have bought fabric from Craftsy several times.
I just picked up this adorable set of Riley Blake Fat quarter bundle
for the block for the In Our Garden Block of the Month. 

But, I have never used a sewing or a quilting kit,

last weekend I tried a little

something different.

The kit that I was sent was this beautiful Rowan tote.

I received the pattern via email within just a few minutes,

and the fabric came before the week was through.

Everything was in the kit except for the thread,

button and the fusible fleece.

I used Heat n Bond Fusible Fleece.

I have used the fusible fleece on several

other projects and I absolutely love working

with it.

The fleece has just the right loft to make your

quilting just pop.  I choose to quilt 1/4" from the seams

to show off the quilting rather than the recommended

stitching in the ditch.

I figure if I am going to spend all the time

quilting the tote, I might as well be able to see the quilting.

After a few hours of cutting, sewing, and quilting,

I was left with this super

fun tote bag.

This cutie was a given to my sister. 

She uses it all the time.

Makes me want to make myself one.

Which, I might just have to do.

Would I make another kit?

Yes, I found the kit easy to use

and quite enjoyable to stitch up.

I actually purchased a quilt kit from Craftsy.

It is the Rowan Kaffe Fassett Collective Lovely Lattice Quilt.
I am really looking forward to starting on this
beauty. 
It is a little different than any other
quilts that I have made before.

Have you tried a Craftsy kit before?
