I've been working madly on my
Doll Quilt, but I managed to whip up this quick tote bag this weekend. My mom is coming today for a week (I am so excited) and her friend is picking her up on Friday for a road trip. My mom's friend makes my kids the most beautiful hand knitted socks...and not just one or two...I get packages in the mail all of the time with a couple of pairs each. They are gorgeous (yes, I am jealous of my kids' socks). So I owe her. Big time.
I thought a nice bag, filled with some goodies would be a good start at saying thank you. I used
this great tutorial over on
Moda Bake Shop. But as you can see, I used scraps instead of a charm pack.
I'm also really working on getting projects completed...I had a great message from
Rebecca about setting small goals, deadlines and keeping track. Rebecca just had a baby girl so pop over and say congratulations. And while you are there check out her fabulous
sleep sack. I love it!
I also made some yummy jam...I ran out of raspberries so I added some blueberries and it is a refreshing change from plain old raspberry. Isn't wonderful when things work out even though they are different than your original plan?
Have a wonderful Monday. I'll be back soon with photos of my finished Doll Quilt.

Hmm I would of never thought to add blueberries to raspberries sounds interesting.
The jam sounds yummy! I love the bag! I see some Nicey Jane in there! Yay!
Years ago I used to make jam - family favorites were peach, strawberry and raspberry blueberry. I don't eat jam but enjoyed making it so much.
Lovely bag!
