college football

I'm still here! And college football is here! I love this time of year. Just about every team I follow has a new coach this year, so it should be an interesting season. I am a Vandy fan at heart (somebody has to be :)), but I have married into Volmania. I must say that with one trip to Neyland, it is a very contagious disease. What's funny is that I was raised by two Roll Tiders. We just about have the SEC covered in my family! For my Alabama-routin' mama, I made this tote:

I didn't have a pattern, so I just winged it. It was supposed to be a tote, but it turned into more of a purse. Not sure that she will ever use it, but I just had to display the U of A fabric that she had bought. I also found the Alabama "A" clip art and my machine took the clip art and "stitchitized" it into a monogram.

Here are some more shots:

I have bought my first Amy Butler (a fabric and pattern genius) purse pattern, so next time I will have blueprint with which to work!

Not that I will have time during football season to sew a purse ;) Go 'Dores or Vols or Blue Raiders and Titans...I'm so confused!
