Tote Bags!

I like to watch sewing/quilting ideas from the Missouri Quilt Company.  Jenny Doan did a video on how to make a simple tote bag.  I made the floral one the size shown on the video.  Then I made the blue one a little bigger.  Cyndi said she wanted a HUGE bag for hauling swimming gear for the kids in the summer.  Found the fish fabric in my stash and added scraps to come up with that one.  It's a little different looking, but it will do the job!  It has big pockets on the inside for diapers and snacks and a little clip on the strap so the car keys won't get lost in the abyss!

The small ones were easy and fun to make.  I'm sure I'll make many more!
 
 Here are two more I made for Cara Schnoor and Micah.

A Quilt for Christy

With more fabric donations from Michele, I had enough to make a big quilt.  I wanted to give it to someone special.  I thought of Christy.  She's always loving, giving, kind and has a smile on her face--no matter what she's dealing with in her life.  I would do well to be more like her.  I hope she feels a big hug and lots of love when she snuggles in her quilt.  I mailed it to her today!

  I love the bright, modern colors.
