Wiggly Whimsy

quilting, sewing, , ,
I bought a jelly roll and a charm pack, and had no idea what to do with them.  A search for quilt patterns using those two items brought this:  the Wiggly Whimsy Quilt.  I love the pattern, but I’m doing it in reverse…so where you see white, there will be colors.  I’m REALLY excited for a quilt that looks like there are white blocks tossed about.
 
Below is the progress so far – lots of cutting and, today, 98 block pairs.  I’m excited!
 

A Bag-load of Bags!

sewing, , ,

Awhile back, I made a set of reusable grocery bags from outdoor fabric and outdoor canvas. We use those bags for everything – library books, groceries, packing snacks and small items for road trips…you get the idea. The only problem is there are only five. We have other reusable bags, but they haven’t held up as well.

During my spring cleaning, I found more fabric, so I set about making more bags! There are six in the photo, but I made two or three earlier that are already in use.

So…what do you call a stack of 13 reusable bags?
