Every grandparent strives to keep things even with the grandchildren but Judy Day manages it better than most.Her first grandchild, Jackson, was being showered with smocked bubbles and Jon-Jon’s and button-ons when along came his sister, Courtney. Just three months later, second  baby  girl  came into the family picture,  cousin Kennedy.
Judy scrambles to come up with cool boy things for Jackson and this bag is one of her best. After embroidering luggage for the girls, Judy embroidered is bag for her little guy.
Judy says, “Jackson’s bag is actually a fishing tackle bag, but makes a great piece of luggage. The guys in our family go on 2 fishing trips each year. Jackson received this the first year he was allowed to go. Even though he was only 5 at the time, this was a huge milestone. I thought he needed a bag to match his dad’s bag and Papa Day’s bag.
The lettering was done in Babylock’s  MasterWorks II and stitched on my BMP8 (Babylock’s  6 needle Professional Embroidery machine~~~http://www.babylock.com/embroidery/embroidery-professional/) the bag is soft and light weight and was easy to stitch. I floated the top over the hoop and basted it to the stabilizer. “
I can just imagine 5-year old Jackson lining up with the men, loading their gear into the truck for the big fishing trip. There is nothing “cute” about his bag, just his name. He was not only just like the big guys. He WAS a big guy now.
