Welcome to
Poorhouse
Quilt Designs!
I have added 2 methods to customize your handmade bags - click
here for instructions on adding magnetic snaps and adding a security pocket.
Spotlight on the Friday Bag:
The Friday bag is relaxed - just right for Friday. It has 2 outer pockets and 2
inner pockets of your choice. It can be quilted, reversible, embellished,
pieced, painted, couched, you name it! We will be featuring different techniques
on our blog "Quilting at
the Poorhouse" which will give you new ideas for having fun with the Friday
bag.
The pattern features full size patterns for you to cut out and
use, the assembly is easy, and there are suggestions for quilting and
embellishing.
What else is NEW? Kits are available for this tote! You can purchase the tote pattern
here, and purchase the kit at
Yolanda Fundora's Urban-Amish website.
