Show and Tell:
B.J. Herter had fun with the Frog pattern we shared a few weeks ago. She brought in 4 frogs for our collection.
Bev Minnerly made a barrel duffle bag and 9 more zipper pouches.
Carolyn Grasso completed a zipper bag, a pillowcase and a purse.
She also brought us a row-by row quilt that needs to be quilted. We will have to find a good home for it.
Diane Placek made 2 zipper pouches and a drawstring backpack.
Deb Chapman made some zipper bags.
Judy Mayer showed her first pillowcase and a zipper bag.
Laura Tomich Showed 3 zipper bags and a tote.
Ellen Hein finished a Hospice quilt with a great star backing.
Mic Pickard made a stack of zipper bags.
I made 5 zipper bags and a quilt from some of our 4 inch blocks.
I also completed one of the quilts Roberta Kelsey donated.
******************************
Today I showed the group how to make a fidget walker bag and distributed pre-cut kits for the basic bags. Each person only had to choose the embellishments of their choice. I am looking forward to seeing what comes back next week.
We have lots and lots of heavy fabric and several of us worked to separate the pieces by size for walker bag front and backs, walker bag pockets, zipper bags, and larger pieces that can be backpacks, duffle bags or cut up for zipper bags.
Next week we will be doing a rerun project - mesh tote bags. Donna Rissman will be leading that demo. I may be obtain some mesh for us to use, but I won't know for sure until next Tuesday afternoon. If you want to make this for yourself or a gift and want a specific color you should probably get your own mesh and fabric. If you want to just try this and donate the resulting bag to our charities, you can use our fabric supplies wait and see what mesh I get.
I looked up the directions from the first time we did this, and have included them in my weekly email.
Hope to see you next Wednesday.
