Camo Towels

Like a lot of fellas, my husband LOVES camo.  Our home would be painted camoflauge if I would let him paint it like that.  This week my hubby was searching the web and came across these towels.  Our bathroom is in the lodge theme and they would fit just right.
Then I looked at the price and said "No way, I can make them cheaper than that."  The hand towel was $11.99 and the bath towel was $24.99.  And this is my version....

Messenger Bag 2.0

Because of my lack for creative names for the design of this bag, it has received the above title.  Maybe one of you can help me with a name for it.  I had made one a few months back that is basically made the same, only I keep trying to perfect the construction to make it as simple as possible.  I can't seem to just make anything twice that is exact.  I guess that makes each unique to itself. 


I was up late last night putting the finishing touches on it.  When my eyes started getting blurry, I decided to call it quits and I just had to finish up the strap.

Still Zig Zaggin

I started the quilt along with good intentions, hoping to finish before next week.  It is the biggest quilting project that I have taken on.  I have made table cloth sized projects, but never quilted them (just tied) I am hoping that I can get this all quilted with my little machine.  That is my favorite part.  I sewed on the borders Saturday night.  I went for the scrappy look and sewed on some leftover jellyroll strips around the edge.
