Thx. Zippers have gotten way easier!! Great to know. I’m no longer intimidated to try making a zippered bag.

Thank you Sherri for this free pattern! I watched your cross hatch quilting video. Loved it and found out that the walking foot I have has the bar! Can’t wait to try it out.

I inherited my Mom’s first Bernina 730 Record from 1971 and she bought a walking foot for it in 2004. So glad she was an accountant and kept great records - all receipts & manuals. I just opened the walking foot packaging and found the bars!

I have enjoyed every tutorial you have posted. You have such a great way explaining your instructions. Even a beginner or child could follow. But I especially love the fabric collection you have used in this tutorial. I do have so much fabric already and even some I like to much to actually cut. This is one collection I would love to include in my stash. Again thank you for spending the time bringing us your tutorials.

This is a great pattern. I have lost track of how many of these I’ve made for gifts! ❤

Thank you so much for this and all your videos - Chelsi too. I look forward to Monday and Thursday Mornings and can't wait to see what you have in stare for me. Makes my day...and today even a free pattern.

Take care and have a wonderful week!

Thank you, Sherri! I’ve always been rather apprehensive about zippers. After watching your video, I can’t wait to try it.

The bags are so cute in your new fabrics!

I made one of these from a previous tutorial on FQS. It’s an all time favorite!!

This is a great tutorial Sherri. I’m ready for my first appliqué quilt pillow. All I need is starch! A new subscriber from Canada, I look forward to more of your videos. 😊

Love the little bags. Have watched one or two of your other little bag tutorials. Maybe this summer I'll use some of my many mini charm sets and make a bunch of bags. Need to rewatch a few of the other videos first. Glad they are always available. So cute!

Thank you Sherri….I can’t wait to make some of these! I really love the Bountiful Blooms fabric! I love your tutorials because you are so sweet and you explain everything so well!

Thank you Sherri for sharing your skills and tips when constructing your pouches, they all look great.

[marysills]

I can’t wait for this line of fabric to hit the stores. It is so beautiful and versatile. The bags are all great.

[pampeterson]

Thank you for sharing. It may seem strange to already think about this, but I want to make my Christmas gifts for this next year. You have given me some great ideas and I will be looking at your bag patterns. AND, the Bountiful Blooms collection is so pretty.

I love the idea to put small rulers in one of these bags and will be making one right away just for that reason. I have trouble corralling my small, seldom used rulers. A lot of my frequently used small square rulers live near my work station as they are constantly in use. Little bags of all sorts are so much fun to make, and your free pattern and tips are very much appreciated as it will be easy to adapt the directions to any size at all !! Thank you again!!

Cute bag, the zipper tape makes assembling so much simpler. Thanks for sharing. 👍❤️😊

[mariawells]

Sherri this was a great video! Thank you for the pattern and I love your idea for storing cords etc. in By Annie bag! Your fabric line is beautiful!!

[kwatson]
