A Quilted Sleeve for My New Play Toy!





Friday afternoon I bit the bullet and bought myself the cutest LITTLE Acer notebook computer. It is itty-bitty and weighs next to nothing compared to my MacBookPro. The model had been disconued, so I was able to get the display one for 1/3 off....QUITE THE GOOD DEAL! The little black thingy is an external CD Rom Drive.  The notebooks are just to small to have one built in. After bringing it home, I figured out it would fit perfectly into one of my Vera Bradley older backpacks, but it still needed some sort of a sleeve for a bit more protection.  Back to WallyWorld I went and bought a tacky, polyester hot pink with blueish-green polkadots all over it....YUCK! Well, I hit my Honey Bun stash of Moda and found some Aviary pieces in muted greens, blues, and pinks which I used to create a quilted cover to hide the hot pink. When I showed up at work with it today, the teachers told me I needed to post it on my blog. It took no time at all to put together, and I LOVE IT!  Even at my age, I’m like a little kid when I get my hands on a new “play toy!”  This one is going to be GREAT!

    I'm loving the little case you whipped up for your new notebook. What's the black ribboned thingy?? Just curious.
