I recently purchased an external hard drive for my Mac laptop. I have an old laptop that went dark and I have about 5000 photos that are probably lost. In those photos are some of my parents who are in their 80s and very ill. I am now periodically backing up my photos. The hard drive came without a case and I felt it needed to be protected. I found some old, old, old French General fabric and sewed up a small zippered pouch for protection. I used batting. There is enough room for other things if needed. It's not perfect, but it will do.
I also put together this block for my long languishing Long Time Gone Quilt by Jen Kingwell. I started this as a BOM though Amitie Textiles in Australia many years ago. Jen's style is outside my comfort zone especially when it comes to fabric selection. I'm going with it as the BOM included all the fabrics etc. I might as well use what I have and it's never a bad idea to try something outside your comfort zone in quilting. I will say that her designs can really easily use whatever ugly fabric you might have. They seem to work!
