Quilted Lunch Tote Tutorial + a FREEBIE!

First off, at your request, I finally made a tutorial for the quilted lunch totes. You can view it over on Sew Mama Sew. Make one! It may seem hard, but they are really simple and fun. And, you can wash them over and over. Never done any quilting? This is a perfect project for experimenting. Thanks Sew Mama Sew for posting the tutorial!
Second, to perfect the pattern and take photos for the tutorial, I had to make a few of them, right? So, I have some to share with you! 

All of the bags are made out of 100% organic cotton fabric, including the batting. Thank you to Harmony Art Organic Design for donating all this great fabric!

All of the lunch totes include a Green Bag Lady stainless steel water bottle. What are you waiting for? Enter to win!

How about this one for a little guy?
The Tiger Tote…
The Sophisticate…
The Purple Lover (in Harmony's NEW fabric)…
This one for a little girl…
The Horse Lover…
The Greenie…
Sorry, we will ship the lunch totes and water bottles to the USA only. Too expensive otherwise.
However, I did make something for our international friends…
Wanna win an organic lunch tote set or an organic cotton shopping bag?

  17. Thanks for the tutorial, and the giveaway. The holidays are approaching and these lunch bags would make great gifts.

    The black and white bag is my very favorite, although the green, purple, and "Oh My!" bags are in a tie for second place--since we don't have little girls at our house, pretty much any of the bags other than the horse bag would be a big hit here.

    Thanks much for the chance to enter and for the good you do.

    I tried making one without a pattern and it turned out a bit lopsided (most of my projects do. I view ti as a trademark so don't y'all be trying it!!!) :>)
