Cozy Cotton Flannel Charm Pack Quilt for Grandson Bryce

 Bryce is 3 1/2 months old now so this grandma needed to get going on this little quilt....especially since summer will soon be here & he probably won't need to be wrapped up in a warm quilt.  It should work well as a play pad though!

Bryce's mom selected the fabric - it's so snuggly & soft, hope he likes it!

Crayon Tote Bag

Last night I made this super-easy little tote bag for our granddaughter, Kendall.  At 28 months, she is quite the budding artist - loves to color & paint.  Of course, all of her 'drawings' look alike (basically just a bunch of scribbles ;) but she's always so proud of her masterpieces and enjoys the creative process....she gets that from her mom.

The bag (without the handles) measures about 10.5" wide x 13.5" high.  I used a free pattern from Melanie Ham (http://melaniekham.com/how-to-sew-a-crayon-tote-bag/).  She has very detailed directions on her blog along with a video tutorial.  This was good practice for a grandma who hasn't sewn much in the last 25 years!  I hope Kendall likes her new Minnie Tote Bag (and that it doesn't fall apart any time soon)!
