Awhile ago, somewhere, probably online, I saw a quilt that someone had done with the 'fruit ladies' and I wanted to do it. Apparently I was either too late or too cheap because all I bought was one panel. Well, I still wanted to use it, but how.... so it sat and waited until I came up with an idea.... then I went 'shopping' in my stash and found fabrics that could go with the panel. And then it still sat - until today... this afternoon, actually....
Presenting....
one side
inside, the bottom is actually dark olive green like the bottom of the outside.
and the other side....
I LOVE IT!!!
and there are still two more larger blocks that I didn't use. I think I'm going to add some of the same fabric that I used on the handles for the above bag (leftover backing) to each of the four sides of each of the blocks and then decide on a lining... maybe yellow this time... and make another bag.
I had my second cataract surgery the day before yesterday and follow up check up yesterday, where I proceeded to get sick and had to leave in a rush. I have no idea what was going on but I had dry heaves that I was afraid weren't going to be dry for long. Soon after I got home, I was fine - just like nothing had happened - weird!
Still wearing glasses but just for reading, sewing, close up type of stuff. It was so shocking to be able to roll over in my bed this morning to look at the clock and be able to read it without having to reach for my glasses first. That hasn't happened in this century!
Well, guess that's it for tonight....
take care and I'll ttyl
I'm so glad the cataract surgery was such a success! Now that you can see better, you can see even faster!!! The bad is cute and those fruit ladies are awesome!
