Granny Square Bag

I just finished this bag and really enjoyed how quickly it went together. Of course since it is made up only 16 squares you'd expect it to be a fast project. This one is made in my Mother's favorite colors and I'm just going to add it to my trunk of other gifts. One of my resolutions for 2010 is to get more items made up that could be used for any type of gift giving that is needed throughout the year. So I got this big trunk and just started filling it up with all sorts of things. Here is the link where the pattern for this bag is, enjoy it.

Are you like me, do you bookmark all these great patterns that you want to make sometime? But do you remember and go back and work on them? I always bookmark them with good intentions of making them as soon as I have some free time, but so far that day hasn't gotten here yet!! I have all these g-kids that are posted on top of this blog and some of them are getting to the age where they don't want "granny" sort of stuff. So I figured I don't have much longer that I can make for them. The older ones will get an afghan next Christmas so that's another reason why I have to start early in the year. I suppose I'd better quit chatting and get to work.....or maybe go make some pumpkin bread....or a batch of cookies. So much to do and not much time to get it done, only 11 more months!!

  1. The bag looks great! I know what you mean with bookmarking all the patterns. One of these days I really have to sort through all my book marks and only keep the patterns I will realistically make. Have a great day! ps I love the little drawings of your grandkids.
