Well, it's not quilted but I thought it might give ya'll some ideas for gifts. I purchased these grocery totes and embroidered on them for gifts. There is a pocket on the other side.

For us embroiderers, the designs are from EL. I also thought it would be a cute reminder to get (milk, carrots etc) :lol:

Great Idea! I got some several years ago, and put embroidered applique on them. I like yours better. (But I don't have an embroidery machine.)

I got them here. I had to double seam them tho when sewing them back together. The fabric is like the ones you get in the grocery store, the kinda woven plastic. They are pretty durable tho. I am making 12 and keeping a few for myself.
