Here is the bag I finished today, the California Sunshine Bag.
It’s the first time I’ve used this pattern and I really like it. It’s easy to follow and easy to put together. I used three different types of interfacing/interlining, two patterns of quilting weight cotton and linen scraps for the orange strap and tab. I had a cotton webbing belt from a thrift store that I repurposed for the shoulder strap.
It’s really nice to finish something in a couple of days–really FINISH a bigger project–since my Great Snap Snafu of 2017.
I kept one of the grandsons yesterday while his sister and my daughter went on a school field trip. He had woken about midnight and said his ear was hurting, so daughter called and set up an appointment with his pediatrician and I took him. I have never seen ANYONE have so much energy with a bad double ear infection. He never stopped. In the pharmacy, he spun around on the ice cream counter stool. Paw showed up after I got him home and took him on a long walk. He came back more wired than ever. And when Mom and Sister got home he got more active. Wow! Daughter says it’s antibiotics, but he was that way before the medicine. Maybe he was just glad to be the center of attention while Big Sis was gone.
