Like you, I desperately need to clean up my craft projects and supplies, but that's energy I don't want to spend right now.

She had made up hundreds of quilt squares and hexagons. One day i will do something with them. xxJacquihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01659012917888444554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5705614339233542950.post-43748968897453928502011-09-28T10:56:34.716-07:002011-09-28T10:56:34.716-07:00I'm going to try to tell you quickly about the...I'm going to try to tell you quickly about the UFO challenge we have going at quilt guild. Find six UFOs that you want finished. Assign them a # 1-6. Then put little papers with 1-6 in a jar...draw a number and that is the one you HAVE to finish first. We gave 2 months to get each project done. It is amazing how many quild members are meeting their goals!! Even me, who come up with the idea, I have finished some 15-20 year old tops from classes I took. It feels so good!! Keep your eye on the goal!!

They are to pretty to just leave and now you can admire them everytime you use your bag. I think I should start looking around the house for a simple bag.......hugs from CA.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00573444510509211306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5705614339233542950.post-17310383431326436642011-09-28T09:41:23.405-07:002011-09-28T09:41:23.405-07:00I really liked your blocks and they look great on ...I really liked your blocks and they look great on the bag. I've been trying to use up the craft supplies I have for a couple of years now. I do have to buy new stuff sometimes, but first I look at what I have and try and find something I can use. I had quite a stash of cross stitch patterns and fabric. I have several piecese I've started but lost interest in, so I always wonder if it's better to continue to finish something I'm not sure I like or to just stop. There is a lot of work that goes into them. Sometimes I just need a break from a project. I like your idea of doing something with an exiting bag. Thanks for the inspiration.

This is a great idea that might translate to reusable shopping bags. It would be fun personalize them and pretty them up, provided that they aren't too hard to stitch on.DonnaTNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16632155244794417553noreply@blogger.com
