Summer is definitely here and we are thinking of holidays and days out, and what could be better than a versatile tote bag, perfect for the beach or poolside. This months pattern of the month is the kaleidoscope Buttermere tote bag patten. A kaleidoscope foundation piecing pattern which would make dramatic quilts and throws, not just bags.





The first picture and the last in the above galleryare the same pattern, but one is landscape and the other portrait. They look so different it is hard to believe that they are the same.
It is such a fun patten and makes the perfect beach bag. With the four choices of pattern and two orientations you can be sure to make a truly unique tote.
The bag measures 18″ x 14″ ( 46cms x 36 cms) approx, large enough for all your holiday essentials (or patchwork essentials)
The digital pattern is on sale with 20% off, starting tomorrow and for the remainder of July 2026
Happy quilting.
