Mama don't like

I finished the bag for store display and I did it wrong:) Well, it was really the books fault (Ok, and my fault). I used a fabric with a one-way design and forgot to take that into account when cutting. So the bag should actually be taller and not as wide. You would think that since the book used a one-way design (I used the same fabrics they used) that they would remind a person to get extra. Despite all that, this would be an excellent project for a beginning sewing class (no Kelly, I'm not volunteering:).

I meant to write in my earlier post that I got Photo Shop CS2! And my brother is sending his copy of CS3 then I'll have the latest version! Now you'll never see another crafty thing on my blog! Not true. I promise to get back to sewing and I actually am feeling the scrapbook bug which I haven't felt in months and months!

Today..

Today was gorgeous! A little too warm but then it got cooler. Emily played on the slip-n-slide with Kayla (barely. We had to throw them both down it and that didn't go over well). Doesn't Emily's bathing suit remind you of Pat Benatar?? Or just the 80's in general. I LOVE it!!

Fabric Corinnea brought back from the quilt market. It's GORGEOUS! She gave us all a little something from the show:)
She also gave me these two fat quarters from Sis Boom-Jennifer Paganelli. I can't wait to get the line in the store. Even Jon likes it! That's saying something....wait, he doesn't have the best taste! hmmm.....

This book and fabric are a project for the store. We moved around fabric last week and discovered that we still had a lot of fabric left from this line. Katelyn said we have a book with a bag made from these fabrics so Corinnea suggested I make a sample from it. I think she suggested... or said I had better if I wanted to keep my job.. or I suggested..anyway, I have had it for a week sitting on my desk. Sorry Corinnea, I'm usually better about this kind of thing..
This quilt below has been in our shop for over a year (it was in the other location) and just needs to be finished. Francis made it for the shop to help sell the fabric and book (which we don't have anymore). I thought it would be easy for me to finish the binding while watching a movie but I'm finding that I'm sitting down less and less these days to watch a movie.
