my little blue bag has served me well. part of the wizard series...it was originally a pillow, then a bag and now after signs of wear i am considering another transformation. i suppose i can just patch and repair it. the worn indigo is even more beautiful than new. but there are two beasts screaming for attention over here and they want to be travel companions too. perhaps i will combine them into a larger tote.
i am still noticing that linen seems to wear out faster than cotton. i know it is weaker when wet and where folded but my experience has revealed that it does not wear well when quilted either. on the other hand, it works well as one whole piece of fabric. ah well, i don't care. i love it anyway even if it is with me for only a short while. and speaking of screamin'...this is amazing.
