Kaffe tote

I was thinking back to when I made this tote

for Virginia Spiegel's fund raiser last year.

I love  Kaffe Fasset fabrics;

The are bright and cheerful.

When I am done with the big quilt I must

play with his fabrics again.

Today was massage day and shopping

day. I filled the car. I needed something

to put my ironing board on and found 2 nice

sturdy plastic 4 drawer chest at Walmart.

They alone filled the back space of the car.

Found some bright shorts and shirts for

my great grandson. He will be 2 next month.

Than I bought 2 large tubs to fill with fiber

for the local collage art department. I am

cleaning a 8 by 11 ft closet and I am determined

to make it emptier. It is always fun to see

what those bright young people do with fiber.

I was a bad girl.

 We went to Shipsewanna  yesterday for a concert,

supper and shopping. Well the stores there have

the best selection of batiks all in one town.

I was really bad.

Can you see the sky, tree trunks and leaves above.

 Than some bright stripes to make something for me.

Lolly's  has  a enormous  selection of  Kaffe  Fasset,

Mobly,  and  batiks.  Only  my  favorite  fabrics.

 Than the batiks for landscape quilts and add in

some new greens. Can you tell I had a good time.

Than we had Amish comfort food topped with

Sugar cream pie.

The messenger bag

 I love all the colorful fabric that Fassett uses.

I am working on the messenger bag that along with

the book of Fassett's autobiography I will donate to the

Year of Art. the American Cancer Society fund

raiser that Virginia Spiegel is sponsoring.

 I almost like the lining better than the outside.

This is fun working with such great fabrics.

I changed the pattern to put the pockets on the

inside instead of outside. Less chance of things

falling out. So far there are 5 pockets on the

inside and 2 pockets on the outside. A

gal can never have enough places to put things.

I just may have to make myself one of these.
