Yesterday I decided to make another EPP carry bag with the wonderful fabric Susan sent me.
chowchows on the outside
and on the inside. Lots of bags to hold the fabric and
I got to the bottom of the box of toilet paper and found the most important roll!!
Down in the garden the birds/fruit bats/possums have been at the figs
munching away at the nearly ripe ones
The laundry washing bags are protecting some of the nearly ripe fruit. This afternoon Ingrid and I went out and picked a bowl full of nearly ready figs, I can see some fig and ginger jam coming soon.
The tram lady is finally on the wall.
I have done the quilting I am going to do on this quilt, next to trim the blue edges off and maybe use that for the binding. We shall see.
Happy stitching.
You've done some beautiful work again. The loo roll made me laugh! I can imagine all those creatures wanting to eat your fresh fruit, your jam will surely taste wonderful. Have a great week, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteYou used the doggy fabric for a great useful project...
ReplyDeleteOh how annoying the wildlife gets to eat most of the ripe fruit before you can pick it..
Sounds like a nice jam can be made from the figs you got to pick.
Lovely donated Quilt you finished...
A busy day! That's a great way to use Susan's fabric. Your figs look delicious - ours are only half the size but still edible. The tram lady looks happy to finally be up on the wall :-) Love the Winding Ways quilt.
ReplyDeleteI made a lot of those bags a few years ago. We call them Busy Body bag. Children can fill them up with things they want to bring to the whomever waiting room, or grandma's place, or anywhere. I never thought of using them myself but I will! Thanks. Love your quilt. Enjoy! ;^)
ReplyDeleteLove your EPP holder Sue - what a great idea to use up the chow fabric & get to enjoy it. Your figs look delicious - I hope the bird proofing works. xx

ReplyDeleteHow do you attach the zip lock bags to your epp folder. It's a great idea.
ReplyDeleteSome fun projects there. The loo roll s too funny. I hope you don’t have to use that one. Yum! I love figs. The lsundry bag is a great idea to protect them.
ReplyDeleteGreat folder and fig and ginger jam sounds delish! I need one of those toilet rolls for my husband - he is always worrying that we are going to run out!! Gorgeous quilt top. xx
ReplyDeleteA great post, my dear, I did so enjoy seeing all of these projects. Fig and ginger jam - yum!
ReplyDeleteSue - you were wise to cover up some of the figs! Loved the "emergency roll" of TP - Lots of us may be wishing we had one of those if supplies continue to run out!
ReplyDeleteI looove that quilt! Good to see the tram lady being displayed. Good idea using the lingerie bag to protect the precious fruit. Never thought of that. Lol the toilet paper.

Fabulous usage of the dogs fabric! The toilet paper roll is witty and certainly the most important one as well. Laundry washing bags to protect the fruits - that brilliant. Fig and ginger jam sounds delicious. The tram lady looks great on the wall and your quilt is so pretty!

"Who gives a crap" made me smile :-) It is so appropriate, even if our priorities are so misplaced. The EPP bag is adorable and I wish I was a bird in your garden. I cannot imagine how divine those figs must taste - fresh from your garden. Sending hugs and stay well wishes.
ReplyDeleteHow dare those birds attack your figs..good idea with the laundry bag. The quilt looks great.
ReplyDeleteA great variety of images, so fun to see! Of course, the quilt is the star of the post :)
