Happy Birthday Kathryn

Sunday, January 4, 2015

I’m not sure which of these items is Kathryn’s card.

Deloise and I were shopping on one of my trips to Saskatoon and she pointed out the nurse-related fabric. I picked up a fat quarter of each, not certain what they would become. On another trip (or maybe the same trip) Kathryn was looking for fabric and a pattern to make seat belt covers for a friend. She wasn’t successful in finding the right fabric, but I found a pattern and added it to my collection.

I found a tutorial to make a tote bag out of charm squares so I decided to make one using the same nursing fabric. It was easy to make a small adjustment to end up with a bit larger bag and I had lots of fabric to cut my own charm squares.

None of the above items were done in time for Kathryn’s birthday but she did get these boot cuffs to open on her special day. Apparently there was much discussion and speculation concerning exactly what they might be before we had a chance to talk!
