Well last Friday I took one granddaughter to the airport to go back to school and had lunch with another. At lunch I learned DH and I will become Great Grandparents again next Oct. How exciting, baby will be little sister or brother to the one pictured last time. The weather here in MN was so awful this weekend I did nothing but paint and sew. I am now beading the bag with the yellow painted flap and finished a shopping bag pattern I got from Windham Fabric web site (The 5-6-7 Tote). Then center strip was discharged then painted. It is a very easy pattern, big too. Today I received 3 quilts from a friend that lives in Hilo, HI, they are bright fun colors. Her quilts are always such fun to quilt. I'll put up photos when they are finished. But here is a photo of the new bag.After the discharge and painting were done it only took a few hours to make. Try one out in your favorite fabric, it is a great way to "go green", use it for all your shopping. Have a Blessed Day.
