I finished the “Baby Rock Star” quilt! Mama-to-be and Daddy-to-be didn’t want to know the gender for baby-to-be. So I went with lots of bright colors to keep it okay for a boy or girl. Coulda shoulda just used all the happy bright colorful fat quarters that I already have but……it was Prime Days back in June and I ordered … ….oh there’s more
Sunday started out rainy. And it continued. Giving me plenty of time to work on a design for a new bag. I wanted the bottom to be waterproof so I used the vinyl sheets from Pellon that you just iron on. All was going well until I was doing some pressing. I was being very very careful. But I needed … ….oh there’s more

It’s been raining here just about every day for the past week. And now a tropical storm is on its way. Elsa! Let it Go! Thought I’d share a few pics with you before getting into the details of this weeks Firefly Tote SAL. And back to the topic–the Firefly Tote SAL.

Last Friday I took my Firefly Tote along for a boat ride. Filled it up with sunscreen, water bottle, wallet, and iphone. All the essentials.
