After I made my first 'house' block at the retreat in November, I made a house block with the "Challenge Fabric" for the quilt show next August. I decide, after I finished it, that there was too much blue and it needed a tree perhaps. My friend, Mary F., said, "It is easy to do. You just remove this section and replace it with a piece that has a tree!" Well, I have risen to the challenge and made my first tree piece of piecing. However, it was a fat little tree and I did not want to cut off either side of it, so I used it to make another experimental bag. I did actually make another tree that I did piece onto the challenge block.

Of course, a tree needs some bears or something and I had bought this cute orange and brown bear fabric at The Quilt Barn (Kimberly). I really needed a snack bag, because I was planning on departing to Albany, NY on December 15 and then drive all the way back to Boise from there, so snacks . . . absolutely. Corn chips, bottle of H20, peanut butter M&Ms, gluten free biscotti, etc.

Wow! This bag really handled the trip cross country. I love it. |
