Hi, I’m Nola Pencil from Springfield, Ohio.  I just finished making these for my three granddaughters, ages 4, 5, and 9 for Easter.  They make great totes for swimming which they, of course, love to do.  

The pattern used is called, “Big Mouth Fish Bag” by Katie Lane Quilts.  I bought this pattern some years ago and made two for my oldest grandchildren.  My sisters liked them so well, I ended up making 4 more of them. I can’t wait to surprise my young grandgirls.

Hopefully I can inspire some other grandmas.

    Very cute! I’d love to make these for my little grandkids. I looked for the pattern online, but unfortunately it is out of print.
