Sew & Tell Friday #35

It's our last day in Big Sky {boo hoo}.  The last few days here have been gorgeous!  Today,  I hope to hike to my favorite place...if there isn't too much snow.


I have another small finish for Sew and Tell this week.  I made a case for my iPad based on Quilt Dad's tutorial.  My supplies here are limited, so I made a few changes.  Instead of piecing the sleeve, I used this Paula Prass fabric.  It is too pretty to cut up.  I didn't have any batting so just used a solid fabric behind the printed fabric and zigzagged here and there.  I did use the Moda Snuggle fabric for the lining as the instructions suggested.


I added a button and closure so my iPad wouldn't slide out.  This "button" came in a little pouch of PJs I bought a while back.  I'm so glad I saved this little token.  I think it is really cute.  I used embroidery floss inside the three hearts to attach the token to the front.


Here is my setup on the deck for reading.  Love the cowboy wine glass but not crazy about needing the reading glasses ;-)

What did you finish this week?  Add it to Amy's blog.  While you are there see what others have been up to.  You will be inspired.

Have an amazing weekend!!!  I'll be heading back to Florida....and the heat.
