I did spend some time in my sewing room yesterday working on a few things that have been laying around for a while. Remember the sample I showed from the hand quilting class I took back in May. Well this is what I decided to do with it. I'll put it on the bed in the room that was once DS's. And yes, there is a fold bag in the bottom portion of the photo.
I also have some canvas that I had bought a couple years ago with the plans of making a bag. I decided yesterday was the day to do it. I didn't use a pattern and I didn't line it as this is going to become a bag to take the grocery store to cut down on the number of plastic bags that come home with me. I think it turned out pretty nice....don't you. It should work well for groceries and produce. I still have one more to make, but I need to buy more webbing for the handles.

Your pillow is wonderful. I like the idea of the bag. While I was surfing the web I saw where someone made grocery bags out of fabric. Clever idea.
Your pillow is very pretty. Bravo for you for making a grocery bag, I have several bags which go with me everytime I do a big shop! :-)
The bird is incredible! You can really see it if you click on the picture! Your pillow looks great!! I love canvas bags for the grocery store.
Great picture of the heron - aren't they just so majestic looking?
Lovely hand quilting on the cushion ! Next step - a king size wholecloth quilt ? lol !
Beautiful pillow! Great idea to use a canvas bag instead of plastic. And good for the environment as well!
The Heron looks so majestic standing on your roof! You go girl...you do a mean job of hand-quilting.
I like the design on the pillow, and your stitches are wonderful.
I have canvas bags that I bought for the grocery store in the car, and I can NEVER remember to take them IN the store with me. I will have to work on that one! (most of the time my list is on the kitchen counter too! LOL)
Love that pillow, I really like doing things like that. Yours came out great!
