The past two summers I have gone down to Panguitch to the Quilt walk that is held the 2nd weekend of June. http://quiltwalk.com/ I had big plans to go down again this summer, I had all the classes I wanted to take picked out - then I started adding up what the total cost would be. Ouch! Since I'm also planning a major trip east this summer, I wondered If I really wanted to spend that much money going to Panguitch to make a basket (that is one of the classes I wanted to take) or if I would rather spend money next summer making a basket at Longerberger in Ohio! Donnetta & Cheryl were going to come also & Cheryl, had picked out a class she wanted to take, it was the Schlep bag. Well, one Sunday about a month ago I got to thinking, with a word like 'Schlep' there must be a pattern for it on the internet. So I started my search. I quickly found a pattern - it looked exactly like the one that was being taught in Panguitch.
Last Friday nite I went to Joann's and picked out this cute Debbie Mumm fabric. All coordinating and a great fabric to welcome spring. I woke up Saturday morning about 6:00 am, kinda irratated with myself because I could have slept in. But I just couldn't go back to sleep, I was so excited to start making the bag. Several hours and a couple of brain-fart moments later, the bag was completed. It is so cute!! The perfect size to cram all your stuff inside and 'schlep' around town. I took it to church sunday with all my Primary stuff inside, hoping that someone would notice & I could advertise that I was willing to teach a class for Relief Society. My neighbor who is on the homemaking committee, did comment on it, I told her I wanted to teach a class, maybe I will get to!

what exactly is schlepping anyway? I suppose I could google it, but it's much more fun to ask you.
