Uni daughter is home for a week (squeee!) and with two family birthdays and also half term here, there are lots of girls, giggles and cakes around the house once more!
Yesterday I rustled up a simple Tote bag sample for a couple of beginner quilters in my class. This is a roomy bag, finishing around 18" x 17" and great for using up a few more scraps! I recycled a denim belt for the handles and used trusty Essex yarn dyed linen for the main body!

| Hello Big Bird! |
Only once before have I attempted a crochet garment, a long time ago, and it was never finished! So fingers crossed I have better luck with this one!
Sadly, my boiler is playing up again! No heating for the 3rd time in 2 weeks! Boo!
So there was nothing else for it!

ReplyDeletethe crochet looks beautiful. Can't wear to see you model it. Have a fun girly week.
ReplyDeletejust asked Sarah where she gets her linen, have been looking for some. Great tote bag.
ReplyDeleteI hope the heating has finally been sorted out, have fun with the girls!
ReplyDeleteGreat bag, Judith! I know I'm coming to this late, but I hope the heating is sorted out once and for all now.
