    Default Quilty Gift for my daughter's Girl Scout Leader

    I saw a video on YouTube posted by National Quilter's Circle (if you Google "How to Make a Tote Bag Using Charm Packs" then their video will come up on YouTube) and I estimated the measurements and made this bag using (now discontinued) Girl Scout fabrics that I had purchased some time ago. My daughter is an Ambassador and a Senior in High School. Her leader is moving out of state too so this is her last year as a leader for our state anyway. I sure hope she can use this huge bag to tote lots of things around in and I hope it will bring her back lots of great memories through the years. I would like to say that I believe that the pattern for this bag is sold on their site but I could not find it. I found some bag patterns but not this one in particular (I did look). It is a pretty basic design so I just did it on my own. Using charm squares makes really easy work of any sewing! Hope you like it! Hope she will too! I'm giving it to her tomorrow! ~Annette

    Great bag and I love the gs fabrics you used. I was a leader for both my girls troops I would have adored a gift like this.
