Hearts on Fire: my project

Welcome to the last day of the Hearts on Fire Blog Hop! 'Hope you have been visiting and enjoying all of the creative projects. Since the heart could not be red, I chose my favorite color: green. This tote is a pattern that I just made-up. It features a reverse appliquéd strip-pieced heart on the front. It is 2 1/2" deep inside. Please continue reading for more info.

The tote measures 14" SQ, and has a concealed inside zipper. This way, a fastener does not interfere with the heart design. The shoulder strap makes the tote easily carried. The entire tote has a heavy weight fusible interfacing. Keep reading for a list of all of the blog hoppers.

Many thanks to Carol of: Just Let Me Quilt for hosting yet another awesome blog hop. Be sure to visit and comment on every project. Have a smile-filled happy day!

Very nice Danice. Tote bags are such fun projects :)

I love your bag! That large green heart on the front is perfect! (I like green too.)

Jan Snell said...

Great tote and good use of the heart theme.

Anita said...

You made a very nice tote bag, the heart is gorgeous (green is one of my favorite colors, too).

LJ said...

Love your green heart. It looks fabulous on the tote and thought using reverse-applique was a super idea. Such fun.

Scrapatches said...

Cool bag, I wish I had more time to make bags.

Calicojoan said...

Great tote bag. I love all the little techniques you used in it. Zippers and shoulder straps are the best, especially after I dropped my bag at the Atlanta Airport years ago and everything rolled under a taxi! LOL.

Kathleen said...

Great project ... so much fun to see all the different ways people interpreted hearts. This is a great way to have one with you all the time.

I love the green heart. I haven't done reverse applique in years but your tote reminds me that I should give it a try again. The tote its self is a great design. Love the zipper being out of the way. Thanks for sharing.

What a fun purse,

Karrin Hurd said...

Stitchin At Home said...

Lovely tote! Green is a beautiful colour any day!

Danette said...

Love this tote. Totes are so useful and we always need another one.

Susan said...

Nicely done!

Carol Swift said...

Such a beautiful green heart bag...I love it! Doing the reversed applique (something I'm just learning to do) makes the heart pop right out to make the eye land there. Your stitching on this looks incredible! Thank you so much, Danice, for sharing your no-red heart and hopping with us! xo

Quilting Gail said...

Great tote bag!!! Green heart is wonderful!

Carla said...

Green is the perfect color for a heart, this can carry into St. Patty's Day too. It really is a great tote and will be fun to use. I bet you will get lots of comments out and about.

Brenda @ Songbird Designs said...

You did an awesome job on your tote, Danice! Love the green heart!

Wow, at all of these sweet comments! You all are awesome. Thank you all so much.

Green is one of my favorite colors, too. LOVE the bag you created for the Hop!!
