Wow--I have been on vacation for 2 weeks, I think it will take me 2 weeks to catch up!! I spent my time camping, and as always took lots of quilting/sewing stuff with me. Mostly I made recycled shopping bags from cat food bags, but I also started a quilt that I've had the fabric around for years!! Of course everyone wanted to bring me something to mend!! So I resuced my great niece's "Russ" doll, and the stuffed dog my granddaughter has had since she was 3. Never enough time to get the things done that I really wanted!!

Yes, I am curious about what kind of cat food bag you use to turn into grocery bags. I've been called a bag lady before, and would love to know how you are doing this, if you would care to share? Please?????

I made a very durable tote from the woven type of cat food bag (25 lbs). Cut off at the depth of bag you want. Fold a strip (with edges to the inside for comfort). Stitch to bag at desired length for carrying so it doesn't drag when loaded. I have more planned using dog food bags. My daughter-in-law's friend wanted my first one.
