Judy Laquidara

I was reading Judy Laquidara's patchwork blog this morning about how the tote bags are multiplying.
I looked in my closet and in the quilt room and she is right, We have more tote bags than I could ever use. I used to keep a bunch in the back of the vehicle so when I go to the grocery store I would have bags, but then the back of the 4 runner always looked so messy and I returned then to the closet. I think that I could stand outside the grocery store for a week and hand out free tote bags and still have a bunch left over. Most of my friends are in the same position also.
Many cites are are now banning plastic bags, so I think it would be a great idea for all of us quilters to hand out all of our extra tote bags we have stored in the spaces around our homes.
We could call it the Quilters tote bag give away.
I have been sewing up a storm in between school semesters and have finished 5 UFO's that stand for unfinished objects. It is actually quilt squares that I started and never finished. I am going to try to sell those quilts at the San Diego Quilt show this august.

My bad cold is finally getting better. I have had it since 3 days before Christmas and have been
home now for 10 days with this bad cold. Oh Well everyone else has it also. Even one of my cats had to go to the Vet as she was sick. Nothing to do but keep her in the house and warm.
Well today is the first week of the new year and I really have to get something done today.
Have a great week.
Nancy
