Mo' Bags

 My boss sent me home early today. 

When I got home, I made this lined bag. It's the biggest bag, called a laundry bag.

The body of the bag is the leftover backing from The Colorado Quilt. I can't remember why I bought the dragon fabric. The lining is a cream fabric I bought a few years ago because... I can't quite remember.

After dinner I made this bag, for somebody who should be really obvious. Check out the fabrics. Sewing machines...

Spools of thread...

Pincushions on the lining.  Did you notice the measuring tape on the ties?

Yes, this will go to my best friend Julie, and I am sure it will take many trips from New Hampshire to Tennessee over the years as it goes back and forth.

Later today when we go around the table and say what we are thankful for I will say two things. The Covid vaccine and friends.

Happy Thanksgiving.


Happy Thanksgiving.

I love the bag that is headed to Tennessee -- I remember sending you some of that pincushion fabric and you using it for a window curtain in your studio. The stories those pincushions could tell (grin). Happy Thanksgiving to you and Millie and your Mom and her beau and the other important people in your life.

I bought the pattern based on your recommendation and went crazy Sunday making Christmas gift bags in all sizes with my extra Christmas fabric. It is totally addicting!! Easy and fun. I used ribbon to close the bags instead of making the fabric ties. Usually we have used safety pins with extra fabric to wrap Christmas packages but this year we will be classier.
