Big Bag

The big bag is, well, big.

It is also ready for it's first visit back to school.

I have been looking at the cowboy fabric for over a year.

I really wanted to get something put together this summer.

It took some time, but I decided on this.

The 9 patch on point are easy

and I had just enough fabric from the the curtains

to make 2 of these.

I do worry that the old fabric is going to rip.

It is so fragile.  

I love to spend time in my sewing room on a hot summer afternoon.

Projects to Finish

I finished this little Thanksgiving Quilt.

I'm going to take it to my grandchildren in Canada in couple of weeks.

I have another one.

If I get it done this week,

I think I will enter it in the fair.

I found a cute bag pattern, while I was on my road trip.

The bag is huge.

I take a huge bag to work every day, so I purchased the pattern.

Here is my rant.

I often find patterns have poorly written directions.

And boy, did this one. 

From the cutting directions to the last page

I struggled to figure out what it was saying.

I should finish it up today.

And I already have stuff to put in it.

I found some great quilt backs for my scrap quilts this week at Connecting Threads.

I hope to get some sewing done, while I spend a week at home.

Here and There

We have been gone again, 

so I am trying to use my quilting time 

wisely.

I started machine quilting this one.

When it's done, I will start the other one.

This little quilt is for grand daughter #5.

I sandwiched it on Wednesday

and have been happily quilting it by hand.

I have some other projects planned for this summer.

I found the cutest bag that I want to get started on.

We shall see.

Happy Summer Day!
