From Erica: I first gave this tote the name of "Queen's Tote", because I patterned it after one that was given to us at Quilt Market by Timeless Treasures Fabric Company.

It's quick and easy!

Image - Pattern Humbug Bag
from Make It Easy
Humbug Bag is a twisted tote that makes a perfect "little something" gift--for teachers, grandkids, neighbors, babysitters, etc. The shape is based on a traditional 19th century English candy, from which the bag takes its name. These are exceptionally quick, easy, and fun to make (make one in less than an hour). Three sizes are included. The small is great for things like coins & keys, pretty pebbles, a bit of jewelry. Medium can hold make-up, kid's collections of markers or crayons, etc. And the large is great for things like toiletries, swimming gear, hockey pucks and the like. Humbug Bags can be made from all sorts of fabrics, from fake fur to utilitarian nylon. Perhaps the most fun is to quilt your own fabric. Easy, illustrated instructions are included on how to do both free motion quilting and grid quilting. This is a terrific pattern for someone just learing to quilt... but great, too, for experienced quilters who just can't seem to find time to work on a "real" quilt but crave a quick quilting fix! This small project also makes a great canvas for embroiderers and beaders to practice their skills. Another extra with this pattern: A sheet of gift tags, ready to photocopy. They add a touch of class to your gift--certain to impress your recipient!
