I would not say this was the best day.  I seem to have a bit of an ear infection.  Is it traveling?  Allergies?  I do not know but I do know it hurts and is slowing me down.  All my projects are currently very time consuming, which actually is not very surprising or new but my fingers are not as working as fast and I seem to need more sleep.

While I was working on a quilt back on Sunday, I decided to play with some fabric I was gifted with at Christmas.  One of those stacks of fabrics that you do not want to touch because they are so pretty.  But I cut one of the moths prints and one of the bird prints.  As I was working on the quilt back, I put the bag together.  I noticed in my travels that if I had had a lighter packable bag with me it would have been helpful.

I centered a group of moths on one pocket and birds on another.  I even put a square bottom on it to make it easier for groceries.  

I am pleased.  I am going to have to shorten the strap just a bit for me but that is an easy fix.  I am just waiting until my bobbin thread is gone to change out colors.  Still working on that quilt back!

I am hoping to feel better tomorrow.  Work feels a bit futile so I am not sure.  But spinning during meetings where I am listening on the phone seems to help my mood.  Maybe because it feels more like real work instead of made up work.

I will feel better tomorrow, yes?  And make new nine squares with the prints from both fabrics while I work on the quilt back.
