My first pattern, packaged and ready to find a vendor!

People are always admiring my quilting tote, so I have designed a pattern for one that I hope to sell at a local quilt store. Here is a picture of the totes on the front cover:


The sample I made for the store looks very much like the one on the left.

I am working on a quilting workshop where my students can learn a skill (curves without curved piecing and a stack and slash technique) and then finish their sample block as a Priority: Alzheimer's Quilt for Ami Simms' Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative. Here is the small quilt I will use as a sample:


It is 8.5" by 10.5", small enough to fit into the Priority mailer.
I'm hoping to inspire some quilters who haven't heard about the AAQI project to make and donate again in the future.
