I’m still working on busy bags for my friend’s church. Slowly but surely I’ll get a dozen made. This one was made from another part of the denim slipcover I recently cut up. The quilt block came in a scrap bag I inherited. I decided to try out one of the “fancy” stitches on my machine to sew it on. I like the contrast of the red thread.
I made some more paper beads this morning. I could make these all day if left to my own devices but that just doesn’t happen around here.
I also made up another “busy bag“.
I cut a denim slipcover from an old chair for the back and handles. The lining is cut from an old tablecloth that had a couple stains in all the wrong places.
I love recycling!!!!
I made a couple more “busy bags” this morning after the kids dentist appointment.
Between lunch and another appointment, I took our boy and a neighbor kid sledding to a near by, awesomely big and fast sledding hill. A photographer for the local newspaper was there snapping photos…we’ll have to wait and see if our kiddo makes the paper.
I’ve been so inspired by the Quilts & ATC’s blog. This wonderful woman is sew generous…I had to do it..sorry.
I have a ton of fabric and would love to put it use. I had been searching the web looking for local organizations that accepted small quilts for families in crisis, hospital patients or other charity when my friend, Andrea mentioned that her church was looking to put together some “busy bags” for the small children so use during church services. Their main sticking point was having to buy bags of the appropriate size. It was just meant to be…funny how things work like that. It’s also more meaningful to me since our daughter was Baptized in that church.
