The Latest for the Macon Bag-a-holic

As you may remember, I made Shelli the wrong-sized LapPack for her MacBook Pro. You also may remember that she kept the other one to use for other things. Love it! I went back and forth on her new right-sized LapPack - whether to go with the same color/fab theme, or to start fresh. I decided to go back to square one - just because. ☺ I used some really great canvas fabs she sent me a while ago! Check it out!

Why go for a plain front, when you could use both fabs? I mean ... really!

Here's a look inside - I used both the stripe and the toile in there, too.

Can you see my sort of twisted ribbons quilting? I used a glorious variegated Aurifil thread in turquoises/spa blues... really nice! (Shh! Don't tell the King ... but I do have just a couple other threads I like to use. My heart belongs to the King, though. Really.)

I had a lot of help choosing the button; we settled on one of the big, lush brown ones.

Like a lovely disc of chocolate sitting there.... isn't it?

The turquoise or spa blue and brown reminded me of my Quality Control Officer.

Zim and Shelli's LapPack

A good match, don't you think? Knowing it was for his girlfriend Sitka's mom, he gave it a thorough going over:

Is it just me, or does he really look like he's admiring my handiwork? Or maybe just checking his own reflection in the button.

Sorry. I didn't mean anything personal. Err... Siberian-al.

Shelli also wanted a Huffle Duffel to hold her new camera and its accessories. She left the fabs up to me. Here's what I came up with:

And here's the reverse side:

No, the Guide Dog for the Color Blind did not help! I pulled the fabs during an all-nighter with Stormy. (Storm, my oldest Sibe, is storm-phobic. Yes, I'm aware of the irony with her name. The Studio is downstairs and quieter/more protected from the elements than the bedroom. She can usually relax better down there and catch some zzz's. I stay with her, either watching old movies or working on a project. Once it's daylight, she does MUCH better!) Anyway... I think I was mighty creative that night!

Here's a look inside:

I don't usually go that bold. I think it was the storm. Not the Storm, but the storm. Just to clarify. ☺

Here's my favorite part of the bag:

Is the Beagle cute enough? I think so! I quilted in pink, just to add a little more color. LOLOLOL!

Shelli, you should have your bags Monday or Tuesday! I hope you enjoy them both! Thank you sooooo much for your repeat business!

And thank you for reading!
