Hi all, I am preparing to teach a class and have made a new sample, and of course I needed to have it match our new car. This is such a fun bag, I have made 5 or 6 of them already, need to match outfits you know. Anyway, the pattern is from The Quilt Company, The 3 Pocket Tote, a painted it with Painstik paints and quilted it on my longarm. The arrow shaped design on the flap is just part of a new design/pattern by Laura Murray Designs called The StarBuilder. It is a really neat new way to make absolutely gorgeous stars. The bag takes just 3 fat quarters and less than 3 hours to make. You saw a few more of them in an earlier post. Also in an earlier blog I told you about moving one of my sons and his family to Missoula, MT. Well it turns out that it takes fewer credits for a high schooler to graduate out there, 22 instead of the 30 it takes here. So my dear granddaughter found out she would be skipping her junior year and is now a senior. So one of the first things that needed to be done was senior photos, so here she is in all of her beauty. And I'm here to tell you she is just as wonderful on the inside as she is on the outside. My DH and I are so blessed, we have 13 absolutely fabulous grandchildren, most of them live close by and this makes us very happy. It will be very different having one of the families so far away. One of our granddaughters is married and will present us with our 3rd Great Grandchild on Oct. 8. So needless to say, there is a new baby quilt in the process. I'll have photos soon. Well must close for now, have a Blessed Day.
