Tote bag power

A friend of mine won one of the transformed totes that ZBPL contributed to a charity auction.  She told me that this past weekend she was walking in one of the forest preserves and had that tote with her.  A woman who was a complete stranger struck up a conversation and they chatted for more than half an hour. The stranger said she knew my friend was okay to talk to because she of the quilty tote bag!

The version pictured here will go to the Zion Township Volunteer Appreciation Dinner, along with this quilt (scroll down to the end of the linked post to see the quilt).
