I made this one with a "Lazy Girl Design" pattern and I absolutely LOVE it!! and I have gotten many compliments on it! I highly recommend it and would give you a link if I could only figure out an easier way to do it! Any help out there, Ladies???
These I crocheted while we were up North, and they are all gone, the "Pool Grannies" all wanted some, and the lightest one ended up as a shower gift filled with what-nots and tied up with a rag bow. Lorraine bought it and is now pushing for a few more in reserve, since "green" is in with the young crowd and the bag was a big hit.
So, I am making more, and have orders for two made out of camo colors (???) 
My swap partner, Rachel, is such a sweetie, and I received her box today when I got home. Above is the package I sent her, and below is the wonderful box I received. The card is covering the name of the chocolate,,,Lindt, my favorite, and the perfect little doll from the thrift store, and best of all, the polka-dot kitty...perfection wrapped in cotton!!! I'll have three grand daughters wanting to make quilts for her! tee hee.... Wonderful goodies, all over the place!!
We have been trotting the state, hither and yon, visiting and hiding. Then we run back home and work our hineys off catching up on yard work. In between we caught the nastiest "ick" I've ever had, and it lasted days...and days...I still have bags under my eyes. Could we have eaten a bad tomato??? or two? EEEK
Now we are under a severe storm warning, and it is raining sideways, so I"ll take the rest of the night to get caught up with all of you, How have you been?? I've missed you and thought of you many times!
Hope you all get to cuddle pink polka-dot kitties!

Good grief woman, next time you take off for the hither and yon, tell us you are going! I have been worried about you and your disappearance. ( just call me Mother Hen).
The bags are lovely, and I need to do one of those soon. I think you too, are hooked on the rag crochet.
Hope the ick is gone and you are feeling better.
Wow, I love all the bags! You are amazing at crocheting with fabric. I'm not surprised everyone wanted one.
Both your swap partner's package and yours are full of wonderful goodies. I love the rag mat and the thrift store dolly in her crocheted outfit.
Hope you're feeling better :)
Hey Granny, good to see you back in blogland! I kind of figured you were up to your eyebrows in crochet....LOL. The bags are wonderful, both the sewn one and the crocheted ones.
And what pleases me most if how 'forgiving' the stuff we crochet up is...almost anything reasonable works! Can't think of a better way to recycle, so very wash and wear. You really SHOULD thinka bout that 'string' bikini I mentioned earlier *VBG*. Big hugs, Finn
Love the swap boxes, hers and yours. The little oval mat is darling!! Are you still hand sewing the strips??? And can I snitch the pictures???
Hey - love the bags and so glad to see you back. Hope you're having a wonderful summer!!
