fun links friday.

I haven't posted a good links friday in a while and since tote bags have been on my mind... today is the day for a few good links. 

This week Ellen Luckett Baker from The Long Thread is having a book blog tour for her new book, "1, 2, 3, Sew". She is offering some of her patterns from the book as free downloads at different sites. One the of tote bags, Beth from The Linen Cat has made a couple and I've printed the pattern hoping to get to it before summer's out (fingers crossed). First, 3 more art bags to sew up and maybe a free pattern to pass along as well.
