My New Kindle Cover

I finally got a cover made for my Kindle Fire.  I love how it turned out.  I bought the material at Quilter's Corner in the remnant bin.  When it came time to choose fabric for my cover, I knew this "was it".


This is the front with it's lovely elastic strap.  I can't believe how well centered the word "coffee" turned out!

A full on photo of the entire cover.

It holds my kindle just right for reading and protects it for carrying in my purse.  I based the cover on Terry Atkinson's pattern (borrowed from my cousin, Peggy).  I decided I didn't need a pocket for anything.  It was the first time I've worked with Peltex--it sews up nicely.  The highest praise was when DH told me I could probably make them and sell them for $20.  He usually doesn't say much about my projects.

If you would like a chance or two  to win the new Jennifer Chiaverini's book, Sonoma Rose,  follow this link to Just Ramblin' or this one to Lilac Lane.   Although I have a Kindle Fire, I'm partial to those "hard covers".

It's a beautiful sunny day here today.  It's 40 degrees out, but feels warmer.  We've had such a nice winter, but people are concerned about the lack of winter moisture.   I'm just enjoying it!
