Overnighter

Sure enough, this week was a whirlwind.  Wednesday evening involved an overnighter in beautiful Pensacola, Florida, so no complaints about the final destination.  But why I had to get there coming and going through Atlanta still doesn't seem to make any sense, other than that traveling on the state's dime is always going to be at the lowest airfare possible.  Anyway, the overnighter come with an evening of hotel room stitching, which allowed the chance to finish the top row on Johnny Appleseed.

This homely little piece has been a lot of fun so far.  The next row of trees features more wildlife and apple trees.  Love the playful little fox that's on his way soon!

 

Remember my little piece Elizabeth Rhodes?  She is back from an extended overnighter with Faye.  She left home looking like this.,,,

 

 

...and came back home looking like this.

 

 

 

Faye turned her into a sleeping bag for scroll rod projects, perfect for future overnighters! While  I have plenty of project bags in different sizes on hand, what I really had been thinking about for awhile was a loose cover os "sleeping bag" that I could slip an ongoing scroll rod project into for safe--keeping while I wasn't actually working on it.

 

 

Something nice and loose that could be easily opened and close with a quick pull of the draw string

 

 

The perfect thing for protecting my scroll rod projects overnight or on the road.

 

 

Thanks Faye - it's just what I had in mind!
