Quilting?

I have seen so many wonderful cute quilts in the craft blog world. They look like so much fun. I had just a small amount of time, towards the end of nap time, and instead of starting a whole new project, or doing something productive, I wanted to play with quilting.

I had an old tote bag, that kids at the day camp I ran years ago made for me.

I also had some scrap fabric.

I had fun piecing the scraps together, and putting them on the bag. I did not actually quilt because I did not want to take apart the bag. This was just a test run, and I did not want to put too much time into it.

Now I really want to do a quilt. There are so many fun ones out there. Like I have time for this, Ha!

Crochet bag

With all my new crochet and knitting projects stuff is everywhere. Because I crochet and knit while watching tv, I was storing everything in plastic bags, in between the couch and the end table. Though you could not see the stuff, I knew it was there, unorganized, and driving me crazy.

So I decided to make a tote bag, to store everything in, and keep it organized. I really love this tote. If I made another one, there would be so many things I would change. I did not have a pattern, and the construction is very poor, but it works.

On the inside I added a pocket for knitting and crochet needles, and on the other side pockets for markers, circular knitting needles, and other stuff.

I also added a pocket on the outside for all of those free patterns I get from Hobby Lobby.

So much better!

Now I am ready to crochet and knit in style!
