Another Day!

Someone said it was going to turn cold again, but it hasn't yet. Oh well. that's Texas for you. Today I'm workint in my sewing room; it's a mess! I'm going to reward myself and work on denim tote bags later. I remembered I had started some before I returned to the t-shirt quilt. It's been delivered and customer loved it. Her son is 6' 3", so it's a little big -- about 74" by 92". Hope this photo works.

More Totes!

I love making tote bags, especially Market Bags.  These normally have no pockets, so easy, easy.  I saw a pattern the other day for a market bag made from animal feed sacks.  I finally found someone to furnish six bags; I told her I would make one for her.  Well, I made two and I believe that's all I'll do, lol.  My machine doesn't like the vinyl; but they were easy, easy, especially since I used webbing for the straps.  Here is a photo of the two I made.  (I'll donate the other one, plus the 4 other bags, to our Senior Center.)  Hopefully, someone else will love making them.

Wednesday, November 14th

Hello!  I've been trying to post a blog all day; was so busy this is first time I could do so.  Today was another quilting day at the Senior Center.  It was kinda wild, but also fun.  There is a group learning about crazy quilting.  As much as I love doing crazy quilting, I didn't want to start another project.  We had started doing scrappy strip blocks a couple of weeks ago and the ladies wants me to finish a quilt for our Sale.  So, that's what I worked on.  The blocks will be traditional, but will be put together in the raggy style.  I'll post photos when it's finished.  The sale is December 1st, so I don't have much time.....
I've also finished another two market totebags.  I'm keeping them simple -- only side pockets on the outside.  That way, the inside is perfect for carrying groceries, meds, etc.  Here is the newest floral one; I'll post a photo of the purple one later.

Bright Market Bag

Good Morning! It seems a little overcast today. Where is our pretty Spring weather? lol Here is the completed market tote. It came out about 16" by 16" by 5.5". Check out my selling blog; these market bags are now for sale.

New Market Bags

Good Morning! DD, Janice, is having another Open House. This time there will be 4 vendors set up at the Avon Office in Port Neches. Staci will be selling Scensy; Amanada sells Avon; Janice has Tupperware; and my raggy/traditional items will be set up. Because I'm babysitting for Janice, I won't be there. My sweet DIL, Laurie, will be there for me.
This week I've been busy dreaming up market bags to sell. The good thing is if they don't sell, I get to use them! This is only three of them; they measure about 14" x 14" x 8".Oh, I've also used vintage fabrics.
