Bag and Embroidery Prep

Some of our kids are in Texas and the rest are still in Oregon.  And since Oregon passed a law banning plastic grocery bags and making you bring your own I told my daughter that I would make her some re-usable ones.  Here is my first one for her. 

I did put batting in the straps I figured that would make them more comfortable and durable.  the strap is one long loop.  It is also lined. 

I also make a pillowcase for the Jack quilt with the left over fabric. 

Then yesterday I traced the the Inchies for the February stitch a long with Crabapple Hill Studios.  (click on other stuff, then downloads) 

Here it is after I colored it.

This will be going on in February which is International Embroidery month.  Every day we will stitch an Inch.  

Well that's it for now.  Hope you have a great day!

Blessings,  Lynn
