New bag for knitting projects

I get frustrated when I try to knit and i have my yarn in a bag and the ball pops out of the bag and comes unrolled every where. I made this the other day to keep small projects to work in in the car. 
Since I still had a bit of fabric, so I wanted a bag for my knitting when I’m in the car, as passenger of course. It is also time to start knitying red hats for my February donation to newborns at St Luke’s Hospital. This is for the

Little Hats, Big Hearts™ the reason for the red hat program is this tiny pop of red helps raise awareness about congenital heart defects.


 The bag has a Zipper acaross the top opening as well as a pocket across the front, which I pouched a little bit so that it would have a bit more space to put odds and ends, maybe keep my wallet seperate from my knitting.  
On the other side I put a reenforced pocket large enough to hold my cell phone and snippers. The bag is perfect for a skein of yarn and set of needles.

Last night I finished this small piece. Well semi finished, I need to decide if I want to quilt it or make it as a porch flag. Why did I make this? In Italy the people are putting rainbows I. Their windows, hanging them from balconies. As  Pat Sloan said, “This is to let their neighbors and friends know they are ok. And to give hope during this crazy pandemic. Aurifil asked some of us to recreate the Rainbow banners with the ANDRÀ TUTTO BENE messages of hope. This roughly translates in English to 'Everything will be Okay'.. a message of hope.” I had already communicated with those I know in Italy, sadden by the losses, and was grateful those few who did not have losses in their immediate families. I too look for the rainbow in this storm of a pandemic.

I am prioritizing what I see in front of me. I have a my first practice piece of LAQ and will put a binding on that today, I decided to just do a roll over binding as there was plenty of fabric within the backing, and this has a wool batting just going to use it across the foot of the bed to warm up are toes in the minnesota winters. I had taken a class at McTavish Quilting Studio , great experience. I learned how to use the Long Arm Quilting machines, was able to quilt a few quilts. I did learn doing the quilting is not for me, based on my personal physical situation. So if you are interested in buying a LAQ machine, this is a great way to find out if this is the investment for you.  It really was such an enjoyable experience, and working with Karen Mc Tavish and the other quilters was a joy. My next project on my list is to make a  gift bag to put a garment into, Also, I   bag with peacock fabric I cut out ages ago, but its right here by my side...

It’s been a while, but I've gotten a few things done. With Covid-19 and staying home I’ve been digging through projects giving a few away for others to finish up, or turn into other projects. Mostly, I have been finishing up some that were halted mid-stream. Some of these projects like a pack that fell out of the canoe in the rapids, others accidently dropped along the trail, some thrown overboard because an emergency popped up. During the Safe in Place orders around the world. I have had time to look back down the trail, and pick up the debris of fiber projects. Sorting to give, sorting to repurpose, sorting to complete, sorting to realize some stuff no body will do anything with it and just be the one to throw the supplies away. Throwing it away, if you are not an artist or crafter then you probably have a hard time understanding and label the aforementioned as hoarders. Where some people just see too much junk an artist see the potential and all that those items can become. ...
