Fabulous Laptop Bag

I have bags on the mind again. I really am thinking about new bags to sew.I would like to have several in my repertoire. They make great quick projects. As such, I was reading Vicki Welsh’s most recent Field Trips in Fiber episode and found a really great laptop bag by Candy Glendening of Candied Fibers. I got the impression that this was her own design. I was really impressed with the attention to detail and the thoughtfulness of the design. I like the water bottle pocket and the cell phone pocket. The machine embroidery or quilting which Candy used to embellish the bag is very nice, too.

Fair Visit

Nosegay, August 2009
Nosegay, August 2009

I went to the San Mateo County Fair on Saturday. I was really pleased to discover that The Nosegay had won a 3rd place ribbon.

Third place isn’t first place, but I am so happy that I won something. It has been awhile since I won a ribbon. I couldn’t have done it without Colleen of Sew Little Time Quilting. She is a fabulous longarmer. She also sells fabric, teaches and designs patterns. Her longarm work is out of this world.

Anyway, I am reinspired to enter this quilt somewhere else. We’ll see if I can get my act together.

In general the Fair was fun. I ate two, yes 2, frozen, chocolate and nut covered bananas. I love them so much!! They just say fair to me. We saw fireworks, got free ice cream, watched hucksters and hawkers, and some people rode rides. I didn’t have as much time with the quilts as I would have liked, but got some nice pictures and will have some time to look at them carefully later.
