blue

Beautiful hues of blue. They were purchased for Aunt

Marilyn in South Dakota. She has spent most of her days

bed-side to her husband. He is facing surgery after

surgery and she has been steadfast in her vigil to him.

She has another love and that is fabrics and quilting. And although she

would balk at the thought of devoting some time to herself,

hopefully this care-package will arrive to alleviate some

of her blues. And chocolate truffles to boot---good golly, that's

sure to bring a smile.

One of most favorite blogs to visit is dutchblue.

I think I hold my breath in awe when I visit her and her

gorgeous pics and projects----my, oh, my! take a look! She

will take your breath away.

She has the cutest idea with a patchwork tote.

So I purchased the $2.47 ( w/ 40% off coupon) bag from

Hobby Lobby and rounded up potential fabrics to make

into the whimsical, patchwork tote.

Half of the fun is picking out the fabric and picturing

what this will all look like when it is done.

I'll post pics of the tote when it is all finished.
