Creativity Saturday: Reading thru the ages phone/camera bag

 

I've been a bit distracted this week.... but managed to finish the Project Quilting challenge 

(Of another era) https://www.kimlapacek.com/project-quilting

The distraction was this pup, who came into our lives and home Sunday from a ranch in Colorado

Dewi, which means beloved in Celtic, is just over a year and a half years old and I've never been so supervised in my life! He is a lovely companion even into the studio which is boring to him

"I'll be here napping if you need snoopervision mama"

so I started the project with one idea in mind, decided I needed to make that into a real larger wall quilt, so went looking in the stash for fun prints like:

and

both of which focused on books and reading which I have loved all the eras of my lifetime! 

I need a small walking pouch to carry phone and camera, so started with a fussy cut of the lady who reminds me of the 60's walking her dog and reading, for one side

I used green scraps for the RSC challenge this month to use green. I pieced it to 7.5" square

then used the boy reading to a dragon over a medieval castle for the other side, 

I joined them into one strip, layered with top batting and lining, then quilted the strip

trimmed that, folded RST and seamed the sides. Boxed the bottom so it will sit up

chose a cute scrap of checkerboard fabric in turquoise and green for a binding on top edge

couldn't locate my box of handles, so used a trim in pink for a handle and stitched it into the sides and voila!

a wee bag to hold essentials while walking with my new pup! (He's 26" at the shoulder, and 50+ lbs) but has lovely walking manners so far, and loves seeing all the sights each day! 

I'm ready to go for a walk now mommy!! 

next up, the SAHRR row challenge of "two colors" to add on my dragonfly quilt... maybe posting Sunday if I can squeeze in more studio time. 

thanks for visiting... let me know what you think
