A teacher gift

Hi everyone!!

 I hope you have all had a great day.

I made a bag today for my daughters teacher.

It was a last minute gift, as today was the last day of school.

Here it is.

I put a large pocket on the one side.

This pocket is big enough to put a large magazine.

The other side was left without pockets.

I put a zipper in the bag.

This is the first time I have done this.

It's not perfect, but it was good enough for today.

I added some pockets inside.

I tried using cotton webbing for the handles.

They look okay, but I don't think I will use it again for this type of bag.

My daughters teacher loved it.

So that was great.

I also got some great mail today.

The mail strike is over and I should be getting a few more packages in the mail soon.

This order came from Crazy Quilt Girl Fabric Shop.

I love this fabric.

Clermont Farms has some gorgeous prints.

I would love to get more of this fabric.

I will be away for the weekend.

My brothers getting married in Northern Ontario.

It will be fun to see all the family.

Edited to add:
Hey, I found more Baby GO! Cutter giveaways.

Sneak Peak!!!

Hi everyone,

I hope you all had a great weekend.

I spent some time with the kids and did a lot of housework.

I did do a bit of sewing.

I'm only going to show a sneak peak, because this is a gift.

I don't want to spoil the surprise.

Also, on Sunday I went to the beach with the kids.

Here are my two youngest running out in the cold water.

These two had so much fun at the beach.

We were at Sand Banks Provincial Park just outside of Picton, Ontario.

Grade 8 graduation night!!!

Hi everyone!

I hope you are all well.

Tonight I attended my DS2's grade 8 graduation.

He is growing so fast.

He looked so great all dressed up in a suit.

He is just 13, but soon to be 14.

I can't believe he will be in high school next year.

Where has the time gone.

He likes to pose for the camera.

Here's a few more shots.

I'm so proud of him.

He is such a great kid.

Congratulations Brad!!!

Scrappy modern baby rail fence quilt!

Hi everyone!

I hope you all had a great day today!

It was Father's day, and I spent a great day with my husband and my kids.

It was just beautiful outside.

This evening I finished working on one of my scrap busting projects.

My small 3.5 inch blocks turned into a simple baby rail fence quilt.

I decided to keep the border simple.

I'm really happy that I made this all from my scraps and stash.

I don't know when it will be quilted, but at least it's a finished top.

Have a great day.

Hugs
