Hello there...happy Thursday!
The past of couple of years I've been on the go a lot and many of my friends refer to me as the traveling grammie!
Sometimes I struggle with having the right bag for my tech items when I travel. Depending on where I'm going and how long my stay is I could travel with a laptop, Kindle and IPad.
Over the next few posts I will show my pretty tech covers that eventually lay in the TSA plastic bins at airports! 😊
Favorites and Improv Patchwork
A member of the sewing group I belong to gave us a lesson on improv patchwork. She had us focus on favorites - something you can easily associate to a picture in your mind
It was a great class and I took what I learned that day and applied it to making a quilted cover for my laptop.
After determining the measurements I needed and using the Improv technique Kathy taught I made the following panels.
Favorite Quilt Block - Quilted Pocket Panel
My favorite quilt block is the log cabin, in all honesty I'm obsessed with them. The log cabin is such a diverse block with endless possibilities. Most of the scraps used for the laptop pocket panel are scraps from my lucky charms table runners you can see here.
Favorite Fabrics - Quilted Front Panel
Low volume prints are one of my favorite types of fabric. When possible they are my first choice when selecting fabric to use as a background.
Favorite Place - Quilted Back Panel
One of my favorite places is the backyard of my home. We live in Florida, have a swimming pool, a lanai, shade trees, and a wooden privacy fence. When I sit out there I truly know peace.
Finishing
Once I sewed the three panels together and made the inside lining the laptop sleeve was finished.
Until next time ....craft a life you love❣
