May is for Makers: Handmade Style

May 17, 2016 by Shannon 2 Comments

My third purchase for May is for Makers was a little easier this time.  I have been eyeing this book, by Anna Graham from Noodlehead, for quite awhile now.  Specifically, because I’ve been wanting to make the Market Tote.

I mean it’s the cutest thing and I want one!   I do have this thing with bags (and shoes…), but I really think it will come in handy for trips to the farmer’s market.  Plus, I think it will make hauling around my quilts in progress much easier.  At least that’s what I’m telling myself!

May is for Makers 2016: Week 3 purchase is Noodlehead's Handmade Style Book #quiltingbook #sewingbook

I picked mine up on *Amazon, since Anna’s site only ships to the US. 

But if you have a US address, you can get a signed copy here!

    Great purchase! I made a few of Anna's patterns and love them all, but I didn't get her book so I'll be curious to hear what you think. Maybe you'll bring it to the next MMQG meeting so I can have a quick look? 😉
