It was supposed to be a sunny day but it clouded up this afternoon. I wanted to touch fabric and reacquaint myself with my sewing machine...yet I didn't want a huge project. I decided to make another kindle holder for myself. I wasn't sure what colors I wanted to use but as soon as I opened up one of my drawers...I saw my focus fabric. The main fabric was a bandana that I received when I did the Susan G Komen race for the cure on Mother's Day this year...which also happened to be my 50th birthday. It is also the first time that I RAN a 5K!!! It was a huge day! Anyway...since October is breast cancer awareness month...it just jumped out at me!
Here's a closeup of the strip that runs along the bottom of the front and the side of the back. It says survivor, hope, cure, strong...
On the inside I used one of my pink breast cancer ribbon fabrics.
And finally...here's the back! Didn't it turn out cute? And it's perfect for our trip to Portland, ME this weekend and early next week!
Did you do anything quilty today?
We also took a trolley tour and ended up at Portland Headlight...the most photographed lighthouse on the east coast! GORGEOUS!!!
We went to Kennebunkport where our hotel was only a mile from the George HW Bush family compound. WOW...if the flags are flying, they are home...they were home!
Can't go to Main and NOT have lobster...this is Louie the Lobster...my dinner on Sunday night!
We also sailed one afternoon...it was awesome!!!
If you can go to Maine...do it...you won't regret it!

We rode to Uptown and had lunch at Old Chicago. We also started our Oktoberfest mini beer tour! Needless to say, we ate lunch out on the patio...perfect!!!
We headed back home and enjoyed the Minneapolis skyline as our motivation!!!
We worked up a thirst so we decided to stop at Town Hall Brewery and have a beer on their pation...this is the mural on the wall outside.
Here we are...well, the pic shouldn't be upside down but blogger is making me nuts today...flip your monitor and look at how cute we are! LOL
It was a great day!!! I hope you are enjoying your fall weather wherever you are!
