***I had started this post back in July. I don’t even remember what was going on with the kids and cooking part. I finished the few paragraphs I have started. I miss blogging. I will try to post at least once a week from here on out.***
My life is not anything extraordinary or even varied much. Lately I have started doing a few new things though. I am branching out socially. I have started taking out ladies from my church one at a time for a snack or a meal to get better acquainted again. I used to do that regularly but stopped recently. I also have started sewing with two different groups of ladies…one on Monday and a different group on Wednesdays.
I made lots more grocery bags. These are lined. The pattern is by michellepatterns.com. I made some to give away. We have two birthdays for ladies in our family this month. I think I’ll mail them two bags each.
One of my customers brought a quilt top over yesterday. She said she cleaned up her sewing room, and did I want to look through her scraps (her words)?? I said sure. To me a scrap is a 2” square. She brought a super nice tote bag that had over 16 POUNDS of fabric in it. Not JUST fabric…a finished quilt top, 3 sets of 12” blocks already pieced. A ginger shot cotton collection, 8 charm packs (four sets of two different collections), a Bali Pops stack, two large FQ collections from FQ shop, a layer cake, over 50 six-inch squares, and a few small pieces of yardage. I could sew on just the contents of that bag for years. The above grocery bag was made from one of the blocks in the bag she gave me along with fabric my sister gave me. I gave the bag to my friend when I finished her quilt top as a thank-you for the “scraps”.
