Quilter's Have Baggage

Piecemakers by the Bay (PBTB) Quilt Guild has had some fantastic classes over the past two years. Mimi Braniff and Karry Crump head up our Education Committee and they helped enrich our quilting experience by bringing in great teachers. Some of our best teachers are also guild members.

PBTB member, Laura Davidson taught our guild members how to make a Quilter's Travel Bag. I attend part of the class to finalize some treasurer duties and take pictures.

I heard her talk about using a French seam finish inside the bag. My mind raced back in time to my college tayloring class where we learned all about seam finishes: flat-feld seams (used in blue jeans), and the Hong Kong finish (used in very expenisive suits). Man that class was hard, but I loved it.

Sewing/quilting classes are fun. Nothing is more fun than finishing a project and here are pictures to prove it.

Sue Fisher made a small version of the bag.

Flora Boren made a bag big enough for her cutting mat.
