Bread bags

 This was a new project, not an old one to finish, but it was a quick one. I made two bread bags for my sibling who was visiting. They often get bread at Whole Foods and it goes through a slicer and then you slide it into a bag. This was so they can stop having to use the plastic bags. I'm not sure if they're the right size, but I DID spend extra time on actually rolling over the seams and making them look nice (only broke one sewing machine needle lol).

This bag was just plain muslin. I'm worried it's a little too small, especially the opening, to fit over the bread slicer.





This one is fancier. I lined it with thin white muslin. It did turn out quite a bit bigger, so this one might be TOO big... I guess they can put multiple loaves in it? Or fill it with vegetables or... something.

More in progress

Sorted out all my extra flannel - the solids are in a heap b/c I have some partial quilts they will be the backing for.

More In Progress

 More projects in progress, but no completions yet.

Crocheting a new belt - not sure if I will finish before I run out of yarn.


Crocheting together my random pieces of knitting.

Taking apart my abortive attempt at an afghan and changing over to knitting squares instead.

In progress

 Finally getting back to projects that have been sitting for more than a year. This will be the next one. Unfortunately, while I have a pattern and detailed counts of the pieces, I did not exactly leave detailed notes of how the squares and cream/red strips combined. Oh well.




This is left over from the quilt I finished in 2024. I will do... something with the pieces.


I finally remembered how to put the pieces together and realized I counted wrong initially and it should be 25 blocks, not 24. I did the same thing with the yellow/green quilt, which is why so much was left. I'm going to make one more block for this one - I need 3 small pink squares and one big center square. Is there more of the center square fabric? I don't know. If so, where is it? No idea. Somewhere at the library maybe?


Still working on the rag rug I started last November. My braid continues to grow, but I have... doubts about sewing it together. That's a problem for later me however.

Ravensberger Gardener's Palette

 


This will definitely be a favorite. You can't precisely match up pieces, because the art is kind of swashy, but you can match up shades. It's a nice combination of different puzzle styles.
