Order Completed

Today I completed one of my many bag orders. The lady who ordered this bag already has one of the same bags in a different color. She wanted another one to use at the beach, but she also wanted it to be slightly smaller and with a cosmetic bag to match.




My next order is another beach bag, but in the larger size (and I mean it is gigantic). Here are the fabrics for the upcoming bag (darker teal for the main color, tan for the accent, and the teal polka dots for the lining).



I'm finding that as I make the same type of bag over and over again, I am getting faster at it. Maybe I will start cutting the fabric for this next bag tomorrow.

Updating

My last blog post left you at the begining of a new school year which now has come to completion. It is hard to believe that another year of school has come and gone. Unfortunately, I was so busy that I did not have much free time to keep my blog up to date on all that was going on in my life.
Over the past few months, I have started up my own little cottage industry (with the help of my awsome grandma ☺) selling bags, and on occasion quilts using the name The Frog Quilter (acronym for FROG is Fully Relying On God). It has been very successful, so much so that I still have ten bags and a baby quilt on a waiting list. I really enjoy making them and it is also a good money maker on the side. Here are a few that I have made so far.









If you have looked at my grandma's blog, she has been posting about the current baby quilt I have been working on. It is almost finished! Hopefully this summer will allow me more time to keep my blog updated!
