Scrappy tote for DD
 

Making good use of scraps leftover from a sampler quilt (which still needs quilting, sigh). During a recent visit I saw that my daughter had loved the tote that I made her 4 years ago into oblivion. She was still using the tattered tote, don't you all just love it when our gifted handicrafts are put to good use?

- sampler pattern from booklet "Lessons from Mama" by Atkinson Designs

Pretty. Yes, I love it when my gifts are used and not just put aside. Then I can make another one to replace the old one when it is tattered and worn out.

very pretty both quilt and tote. thanks for sharing. mary

Great job! I use my tote everyday to make sure I have all the essentials that I don't want to carry in my purse.
I love yours as is much prettier than mine. What a terrific use of scraps. Thinking of Xmas this morning with 6 quilts to finish but I would love to make some pretty totes. Thank you.

Both are very pretty! Reminds me I need to make myself a new purse!

Very pretty.

very pretty, I love it when my gifts are used too.

Beautiful tote and quilt! And don't you love Atkinson Designs' patterns? I've made a couple, and really enjoyed them.

Wonderful work and wonderful that your daughter enjoys your work. :thumbup:
