Protection for my computer...

I had seen this cute "fox" aka kindle case on this website, www.eskimimimakes.com. But I didn't need a kindle case, so I changed the size. I simply printed larger templates to make it fit my lab top. I really liked how it turned out. I made one for my daughter this time as a wolf... She is using it right now, so the picture has to wait and I will post it soon.

Patchwork Bags

 A couple weeks ago I was looking for a bag pattern for a bag for my daughter and her lab top. That is when I cam across the Dot Dot Dash Bag by Sew Sweetness. I had purchased a interesting piece of fabric months ago in Pacific Grove and it was just perfect.
The bag has multiple zipper pockets. Because I liked it that much I made one for me too. Of course I didn't have another equally interesting piece of fabric and had to piece it.
I used a charm pack. Layer two 5" pieces of fabric, sew all around and then slice them like an X. I used the Bloc Loc squares to make perfect triangle-squares. First is a picture of both beauties.

This is the one I made for myself. That one, unlike the pattern has no curved zipper pockets, but the pockets on the zipper pocket side are all different sizes.
I will love taking the new bag out tomorrow...

Thanksgiving

Years ago I bought this pattern by Sharon Biesen. I changed the pattern a bit. But I finally finished the quilt and right now it hangs by our front door.
