My friend Tara gave me a yard of fabric a couple of years ago for my birthday called, "On the Rio Grande". She got it from a quilt shop in Taos, New Mexico. I wasn't sure if I wanted to make a quilt using this fabric, or how I would use the fabric, so it sat for 2 years. Then I checked out a book from the library recently called Best of Stitch: Bags to Sew. I saw a bag in this book called the Dahlia Bag, and I knew that this fabric would look great made into that bag. So that's just what I did.  |
| This fabric from Free Spirit is called On the Rio Grande. |
 |
| The fabric depicts scenes along the Rio Grande. I love the bright colors of this fabric. |
 |
| Even skinny dippers! Lol. |
 |
| Oh there they are again on the side pocket. |
 |
| This pocket shows some pueblos. |
 |
| Some smooching along the Rio Grande too, lol! |
 |
| The orange fabric was a fat quarter I won online and it was perfect for the side, bottom and straps. |
 |
| I had some turquoise polka dot fabric that I used for the lining. |
