Project quilting the prompt :Horses My photo on a tote!

 

The prompt for Project quilting this week, and we had one week to make something from is is

Horses

I take a lot of photos on my daily walks, and visit this small ranch often... I took this photo

so I printed it onto fabric, adding in prismacolor pencil here and there on the printed fabric and started

I had a brilliant sky fabric scrap to go with the rocks, horses, SW design  fabrics and began designing 

I knew I wanted a tote bag. 

I sewed the outsides of the tote (then 15 X 16" approx), layered it with lining and batting and began quilting it like any quilt

decided on a top binding to put on after I folded it RST and sewed the sides. First I made quick handles

placed and sewed into place

used a gorgeous batik SW print for lining

fold them out of the way and add some rock fabric along the top to finish the edge

box the corners along the bottom so it will sit up

love the back of the tote

it's ready to use and I L O V E how it came out! I get to see my photo more often, it's useful and is made of specially hoarded fabrics years old so I get to see them too

I love horses...

another of my photos, taking in the neighborhood walk

a sweet horse video... enjoy

fabrics from my stash, I'll need to use soon they are so pretty

these turquoise nuggets might make a fine tassel or embellishment among the rock fabrics later
