I’m not much of a bag maker. I am mostly a quilter. But last year at Sewing Summit Amanda (seriously one of my fave people to follow!) taught a class on how anything can be a quilt. Something about a quilt just radiates love to me. I love that feeling of time and effort that has been invested in a tangible way. It seems that as a wife and mother, so much of my time is spent completing tasks that come undone as soon as I turn my back.
So when the lovely Susi offered to swap bags with me, I knew I wanted to make something special. I really love making gifts. I try to make sure that the gift is perfectly suited for the recipient. I knew Susi liked Heather Ross, so I pulled out my Unicorns. Doesn’t this design just make the unicorn ‘pop’. I think I fell even more in love with these creatures making this bag!
This little Unicorn was perfect on this little bag. I used the tutorial on Colleen’s blog here
Now, I am off to enjoy the lovely weather with this little girl

And spend some time cutting these lovelies

my favorite thing about fall is football. university of south carolina football to be exact- absolutely love it!
I’d normally say that walks in the woods and crunching leaves underfoot are my favorite things about fall, but right now my favorite thing about fall is the fact that caramel covered apples are in grocery stores !!
Autumn leaf colours but don’t like the thought of the coming winter and dark nights! Love the fabrics in your Giveaway.
My fave things about autumn are the colours and the crisp air. Oh and the autumn storms which give you the perfect excuse to stay indoors, drink tea and read scary books.
I love the smell of fresh roasting green chilies (here in CO), the look of the sunlight and the crunch of leaves!
My favourite things about autumn are the smell of the woods, especially when it has rained, and my birthday
Thank you for this give-away!
oh I love fall! my favorite are the changing leaves

you did a great job on the bag…love the colors! My favorite thing about fall is all the fun activities like football fields and pumpkin patches along with gorgeous light; it is cooler but still sunny. Have a fun weekend!
There’s nothing I don’t like about fall – except maybe that it’s too short
I love the crisp air, all the colors in nature, warm apple crisp… I could go on forever
I’m a new facebook follower
My favorite thing about fall is baking and making soup for dinner. But, it’s always hot in California!
I love wrapping up in soft wool scarves and hats and walking through the fallen leaves, every shade from palest yellow to deep red, oh and smelling woodsmoke drifting from a chimney. And going home to hot chocolate, bliss.
your bag is wonderful! what a great pattern to showcase the unicorn! i desperately need to make myself a new bag, so thank you for the inspiration.
i saw those fabrics in the sold section of your shop, so i guess i missed them (you did say they were flying off the shelves!). i’d love to win a fq set of the three of them!
i love the crispness of fall, it feels so refreshing after the occasional muggy stickiness of summer, but what i REALLY love about fall is HALLOWEEN! i’m so excited already! i’m coordinating 2 halloween swaps with one of my quilt guilds, and a halloween block lotto with the other, it’s very closely tied with Xmas as my favourite holiday!
i love fall and its colours
