The beagle quilt is a flimsy!

What a gorgeous day it has been here in Missouri! It is currently 75* with a normal March wind. I have not been out in it as much as I had hoped. I really wanted to get K's beagle quilt ready to do the embroidery work on it. I managed to get the last border sewed on and all the little running dogs fused around it. I think it is going to be cute. Now all I need to do is a blanket stitch around all the fused pieces and some embroidery on the dog's face. Then it will be ready to sandwich and quilt. I should be able to get it done by May 9th.

Sorry for so many pictures of the beagle quilt, but I couldn't decide which ones to use, so I used them all. LOL I have been quilting away on the Savannah Star quilt. It is about half done now. I would like to get it done before I start quilting on another project, but I'll see. Sometimes I just have to start a new project. (grin)

I finished the hobo bag. I was kind of shocked at how big it turned out. Even though I cut it all out and do know how to measure, I didn't expect it to be so big. I guess I will use it to carry library books or projects when I visit the kids. I took a picture of it with my hand laying on it so you can see how huge this bag is. LOL
Here is the inside. I had this checked fabric in my stash. It was definitely not cotton. I melted part of it when I touched it with my iron. I suspected it had some polyester in it. So I had to turn the iron down for the lining and back up for the outer fabric. I am glad to get that checked fabric used up. I am not really happy with this bag, but it is done. (grin) Yesterday was an exciting day. I received a birthday gift from Bren. I did not have a thread storage case, so I will put it to good use.
She even put some thread inside of it and it is Guterman. How sweet was this! Thank you so much, Bren. I love it and already have put some of the thread to use. (grin)Well, I have about an hour till it gets dark. I really feel the need to get outside and walk around, so I am going to go ahead and post this. I hope you all have a great evening. Thanks for visiting and please come again.
