When I visited my sister in Virginia in June, I was especially struck by the cheerful curtains she'd made for her bathroom. The tile in the room is white, the walls are an almost electric blue, and the curtains are this wonderful fish fabric: blue and white fish (whose colors include that electric blue) on a sunny yellow background. 
She took me to the shop where she'd gotten the fabric and it was a real treat: the fabrics were upholstery and home dec weights, and the prices were very reasonable. (I'm pretty sure the shop is called Second Yard, on Laskin in Virginia Beach.) The shop also had wonderful framed prints and lamps. My sister gave me the remnants of her curtains and this is what I came up with for her in return.
The pattern is called Three Great Bags, and I'd gotten it when I visited Quilter's Crossing in Madison last spring. The bag's interior fabric was from my stash and the button is a vintage mother-of-pearl number I'd collected somewhere along the way.

I love this bag. The colors are so neat together. You did a fine job. This is the week I need to make my DC kids Christmas totes and am out searching for ideas. I'm not a pattern person but love seeing everything everyone has made. Keep up the great work.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING and God Bless!!
