Swaps - They're A Good Thing

I was one of the lucky ones to get in on Dawn's/Dawbis first catalog trade and this is what I made for her. I didn't put any pockets in the tote but made a zip bag instead and then decided, what the heck, and made a matching quilted card. Seeing it all together I'd hate to think that you think I like things all matchy-matchy 'cause I don't, but there it is anyway. I love this fabric and I feel you can't go wrong with gingham either, such a happy pattern. Poor Dawn had an allergic reaction to a bee sting over the weekend just when she was introducing her second catalog, but I hope she's all better now. If you want a chance to participate then you need to get on her mailing list so you'll be notified when her next catalog of work is available. I'll show you what I traded for as soon as I receive it - can't wait! Check out her Flickr set if you'd like to see her work.
