OP Gal 2/2/07Uh-oh! Something bad happened when I tried to access your pictures. :-) What an ambitious project. Thanks for the thorough review. Would love to see the end result.

PVA 2/2/07Some kind of a glitch with your photos but I certainly do appreciate all the details in your review. Thank you!

Lisa Laree 2/2/07Arrg! Well, my computer and the Internet took all evening but they finally decided to stay on speaking terms for more than 5 minutes and I fixed the photo links. Turns out that Yahoo's new so-called 'Smart' albums cannot be set for public viewing, so I had to make a new 'Stupid' album that could be made public. This could turn into a long ranting blog post, but perhaps the steam that has been rising from my head will abate by the time I get around to doing the blog tomorrow. Anyway, I have logged out of yahoo and then checked the links, and they appear to be ok now. Crossing my fingers....

JenSews 2/3/07Looks great! The pics work for me.

blue mooney 2/3/07It's nice to know that someone besides me is late with appreciation gifts. These bags are very nice and your helpers should be thrilled with them. Thanks for the helpful tips in the review.

Suzanrossi 2/3/07Totes are so wonderful - some of us feel lost and bereft without our transitional objects to lug around with us. Your bags certainly are classy. Love the personal embroidery touch, too.

SueV 2/3/07I REALLY like them, your choice of fabrics and monogram... they are wonderful. Um.... I think I need to put this in the sewing que

j222b 2/3/07Can I help you move the next time? Late, but GREAT!

Gorgeous Things 2/3/07Lisa, your bags turned out great. Believe me, you're not the only sheepish one who is late getting thank-yous to friends!

Linda E. 2/3/07You did an excellent job..

AnneM 2/5/07Nice gift idea, and it will bring back memories for them. (Memories like "ouch I just dropped that on my foot", "oh my aching back" ? ;) )

Tee Jay 2/6/07Your bags look lovely. This is my standard patttern for a tote and have made three to give to friends. I made the same mistake with the handles!! I make mine 3" shorter so I have some room under my arm. Love this pattern.

Puddin Pop 2/7/07Hey, I cheated and just looked at the beautiful pictures. I love the inside of that one, WOW, compartments and everything.

lace 10/5/07Thank you for the great review. I think I must get this pattern and give it a try
