Of course, I have labs, and we deal in tennis balls at our house. I was VERY envious! Nice job. I love it when it is a fast project. I now have a stash of "quilted" fabric, because the hub is always asking for bags to put his electronics in, or asking me to make one for someone who needs it, mostly the kids.<br />They do make nice gifts. and because of 'weird" projects, I have more hardware, and fabric (Cordura, leather, buckles, zippers, etc.) then I would like, but then again, I LOVE making bags, especially when it is for something that works "just right". I just finished a ton of dog collars to donate...everything under the sun...Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11664097225213960725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-25916090122951515992013-02-26T10:38:13.792-05:002013-02-26T10:38:13.792-05:00Did he like it?

They do not understand that I like quilting there is such a difference.

He does long bow archery and they shoot at a medieval site near where we live.
