Hello Everyone,
Happy New Year! Lets hope it's a better year. To start things off right, we've got a blog hop. Carol (hostess for this blog hop) and Carla (hostess for an up coming blog hop) are keeping us hopping, and that is always good :) Thank you both!
I had a lot of fun with this little heart pattern last year. It uses up my tiniest scraps, these are 1.5" squares.
For this blog hop, we are supposed to use NO red in our project. This pretty little heart turned into a handy little tote bag. The heart pattern is called Patchy heart and you can get it on quilters cache.
This are easy bags to make and have lots of different uses. You can put a few books and some pieces of candy in it, and send it off to a friend, which is just what I did (although with different books and candy then what is shown, tehehehe). Use it for library books or whatever else you can think of.
This is such a pretty pattern line, it's called "English Countryside" by Maywood. Here is the back.
And a plain inside, with no pocket.
Thank you for stopping by today and seeing my little project. Please drop by the other bloggers too, and have a great day.

I LOVE IT!!! Thank you, my dear friend!
I love bags. Thanks for sharing. It would be great for collecting all your valentines.
Love the bag and the idea of including books and candy for a friend in it.
Neat bag with that cute scrappy heart! Anyone would enjoy receiving and using it! Thanks for sharing!
Your bag is really pretty. I love useful projects like bags!
Lovely bag Dorian
What a useful project for the Hop, Dorian. Your sweet Patchy Heart would make a good pocket for a tote bag, too!
A very nice heart tote bag! Love the fabrics.
I love your simple heart block and the cheerful tote!
What a sweet idea to fill a tote bag and send it off to a friend...I love that! Your tote turned out so pretty and those fabrics are perfect for it. The blues and combo of other fabrics make that heart pop right out there! Thank you for sharing this lovely no-red heart project. xo
Lovely little scrappy heart and tote bag. You make such beautiful gifts, my friend ... <3 Pat
What a fun and useful way to scrap those tiny little bit of fabric in our bins. I love this!!!
Wow those are tiny pieces to work with. The end result was so worth it and your friend should be so pleased with that wonderful bag and its goodies. I have to admit when I get a quilty gift and it contains candy it brings the gift to a whole different level of yummyness. Very thoughtful of you.
I love your cute and practical tote bag! :-)
Super bag and so useful. One and a half inch squares - what a great way to use them.
Great project! I really like the little heart block.
Cute bag and great use of a scrappy heart! And lucky friend to get such a treat!
Now that is what I call pretty and practical. Well done.
That is so clever, I love it.
Lovely heart bag, thanks so much for sharing!
What a useful bag. I love scrappy projects like that.
Great idea. Love the heart on your gift.
So cute, and adorable fabrics too.
Hi Dorian,
That's a lovely little bag you made - I really like the fabrics you chose, and what a good idea for using your little scrappy heart.
That's one fine heart on your sachel!
Wonderful bag! I love this very much! Another fabric store which is Broadway Fabrics.
