LOAD BAGSLOAD BAGS
This quilted bag is sturdy
and it
carries quite a LOAD and
LOAD is an acronym for: LO =
leftover fabric or pieced fabric
pieces; A = auditioned pieces
you decided not to use in other
quilts; D = deconstructed pieces
that were once part of quilt you
had planned but never finished.
The quilted zippered bag
was
developed over the years after
using many commercial patterns
and finding some problem with each.
Final dimensions of the bag
can be any size but the average LOAD bag will be:
about 18 high, 15 wide, 7 ½ deep. The bag is easily adapted to smaller or
larger sizes. This one is great for shopping at quilt shows and for airline
travel.
Advantages of the bag:
1. Lightweight but strong, holds a lot.
2. Top opens wide and zips
3. Washable - in the
washing machine on delicate and dry on delicate or lay flat
dry.
4. Can keep your feet warm on trips if it isnt too full of heavy items.
5. Uses up some of your UFOs or scraps
6. Looks like you spent hours designing it (you can, but it will look nice if you dont too).
