Wesignificant, I agree with you, I'm going to order the pattern today. I think Maryq used this pattern for her weekend project of a tote. They are just so nice!

You could possibly sell these at your veterinary office. Our Vet has a little shelf set up for people's pet crafts.

Can't wait to see what you do next weekend, you are such an inspiration and your quilting is getting nicer and nicer (not sure if that is a real word).

Michelle, your totes are absolutely stunning!!! All kidding aside, as some of the others suggested, you could really make a small business venture out of making these totes. When I did a Google search to find where I could buy the pattern, I ran across this site, which offers custom made bags as well as ready made ones, all based on using this Charm Party pattern. Some are even different sizes, based on the same idea. Take a look at the prices....

I think your choices of fabrics and the way you combine them are so much prettier!!
I did find the best price on the pattern, and the fastest service at:

http://www.honeybeefabrics.com/store/pr ... =CHRM_TOTE

Price was $5.00, plus postage, which was 2.99 since I only ordered that one item. She offers lots of nice fabrics at discounted prices. Charm packs are currently on sale, also.

AnnieinSC,
Some of the same charm packs that are on sale at the site you gave are also on sale on QIAD for only $5 which is a few dollars cheaper than even that site. Thought you might want to know. I just love these bags and it is a perfect way to use the charm packs but Michelle does seem to have a talent for combining the fabrics on the bags.
Thanks for the tip on the pattern.
Cyber-Sue
