I all ready used her pinwheel quilt tutorial to make pinwheels but I would really like to make the Abby bag!

So unfair but here goes. I love the fabric ring (and bracelets) and I have always loved the baby life quilt. But I think the one I am most likely to make and use for me is the go anywhere bag.
thanks for sending me to the site again - I have no time to sew at the moment but I love to look.

I think it's very cruel that you only allow us to choose one of her patterns; I love them all! But if I must choose, the Houndstooth quilt caught my eye, and intrigues me so much that I have to get the pattern and try that one first (and then all the others!).
