Monday Browsing (on a Tuesday) 12-06-16

I was feeling well enough yesterday to take a trip to SDiego for lunch at VAM.  It was a chance for the volunteers to get together and visit.  They all work alone at the desk and never have any time to visit.  I took my friend Bette Bradley who has been needed an outing.  We enjoyed ourselves even though it was very low key.   By the time I arrived home, picking up KoKo at the sitter's at 5pm, I was exhausted.  I took a nap, ate some dinner and then went to bed - not waking up until 8am!  I guess KoKo had a busy day also because he slept all that time too.  Anyway, I still have a bit of a cough at times, but not so deep or so painful, so I guess I'm on my way to being well again.  Fingers crossed, eh? 
 
Since I didn't post last night I am giving you my Monday Browsing today. 

Lots of tutorials on line, if you just know where to look. Type into your search box “tutorials quilt bag patterns”, move down to “Web Results” and start clicking to find hundreds of patterns.  Same for any tutorial you are seeking.
