Cutting out a project bag and thread beds

I worked on cutting out the thread beds and a project bag for someone at the retreat who wanted more. She wants one project bag and three thread beds. Of course, to me it makes no sense to just cut the pieces and parts for one thread bed out of three different fabrics. I cut the rest of the flamingo fabric I had and got enough for four thread beds. I had loads of the multicolored batik, so I went ahead and cut four thread beds. The jungle fabric was just part of a yard I had left so I was able to get the one project bag and one thread bed out of it. I needed to check to see if I had any coordinating zippers. The fleece is ironed on what I call the lining pieces too.

Once I cut the vinyl pieces then I will be ready for assembly. It is just as easy to make four as it is to make one thread bed. I need more zippers so I will placing an order today. I also cut out those little scissor pouches out of any scraps that were left; no sense just tossing them into the scrap box! Saturday there was a newly born set of twins. I hadn't seen momma for a while. I saw her last Thursday and I saw the twins for the first time on Saturday. The twins looked to be only a day or two old. I saw them in the backyard early this morning, but it was still too dark to take a picture.  Here they are in the neighbor's yard.

It was HOT yesterday! It got up to 87! As soon as I got home from work, I hauled out and hooked up the hose so I could give my transplanted coneflowers a drink. They needed one after baking in the sun all day. It is forecasted to be up in the upper 80's again today then cool off with rain the rest of the week. No, I did not get the rest of the backyard mowed yet.  LOL!
