Bag Ladies Needed
Bag Gents, also needed. Wrote in my last post about the need for bags for the Share A Square tags . . . I mentioned a 3×5 bag I had - the beautiful Chinese silk bag shown in the last post - but on reading Yellow Rose’s entry about it, it looks like bigger ones are needed.
We are also trying to limit how many bags each person donates - so as to not wear out any one person - AND - to allow more people to become part of the project. Sound fair enough? Yep, I thought so, too.
So, on reading Yellow Rose’s post about this - and, thanks, btw, for the cool button!!! - I see that my thoughts of a 3×5 inch bag might be a tad off the mark. I had forgotten just how much space 48 tags might take up. So, you might want to play with it for a bit to come up with a good size. If you happen to have 48 business cards lying around, stack them up and see how much space they take. I’ve noticed that most of the tags on the squares I’ve put together are about business card sized. So, that should work.
So, I have one person up for the project so far - daughter Ladybug is dusting off her sewing machine even as I type this - well, maybe later. She is taking the wee gorlie to her swimming lessons right about now.
I’ve finished two of the 6×9 pieces for the HAP project also highlighted in the last post.
I really like how this pattern is turning out. It’s called a mini cable, but it’s not really a cable - it still looks very cool. I’ve found that fourteen repeats of the 4 row pattern makes up the 9 inches called for - and once you get three or four repeats done, you have the pattern pretty well in hand. I have had to frog a couple of times, because I messed up on one of the wrap rows, but that’s not too bad, eh?
And, just for the sheer joy of changing the subject just one more time . . . whatever happened to JANUARY, friends???? Good grief! That’s one twelfth of the year gone already. I know I must be getting older - these days just seem to RACE past me.

[…] another project going on to make bags to hold the squares. Some of you might want to get involved. Barbara and Sherry are working at gathering these donations, and they can tell you more about it. […]

[…] We’re looking for a few good baggers, you see. Men and women who have kids at heart, a sewing machine nearby, and more cloth than they know what to do with - you are needed. Drop me an email to let me know you’d like to help out and I will send you my mailing address. It’s as easy-peasy as that. Thank you!!! […]
