*******

i am going to use it when i travel to be able to put my laptop in my backpack & keep it from getting all scratched and nicked up

can't tell i love green can ya???

yep even the backpack that this is going in has green accents on it

*******

i will be working this weekend and packing for my trip

T minus 6 days and counting......

Finished

i finally finished with my skits

& below are some pics of them.

*******

not the best pics but when you are by yourself you do what you can to get the picture taken

i love anything green & i love Michael Miller - the fabric had the floral print on both edge so i enough left over to make a little bag or clutch with.


i started this 1 and the 1 below at a quilt camp in March and just finished them last night

these should be great for my St John trip
*******
