I count it as just one more tiny sad thing about this quarantine period. But we are not able to use our fabric shopping bags. And I fully agree--I'm not arguing the point.
So while my shopping bags are unoccupied, shall we say, I decided it was a good time to wash all of them. Here are some of the bags.
Most of these bags are courtesy of the Green Bag Lady. Teresa has changed the world, I believe, by giving away thousands upon thousands of fabric bags. All over the world. You can visit her website here..
This bag is not actually from GBL, although I used her pattern to make it. I love it because it is made from fabric by Harmony Art. It's a nice sturdy fabric, too.
I'm pretty sure that this next one is the first bag I ever received from GBL. It, too, is made from Harmony Art fabric, a very cute little child's alphabet design, with cute little words spelled out in the grid.
And here is its number. Each bag is numbered and kept track of at the GBH Headquarters. This bag is number 5,349, fairly early on in the production history.
This is another beautiful Harmony Art print, this time a very pretty polished cotton which has a luxurious feel to it.
Then there's this bag, from the year of Nashville's flooding. (Can't remember the date.)
This is its number, though, #10,332.
Further on in the progression of bags given away/number of bags.
I count myself fortunate to have had the privilege of working with Teresa, just a little bit, by helping to hand out bags at grocery stores with her and with her "Bag-ettes."
This is my most recent bag (which is the polished cotton shown above), #55,545, which is a great number, don't you think! The number of bags that have been made to date is about 70,000. Isn't that fantastic!
So, whenever we do get to emerge from our lairs, I will have nice clean fabric bags to use. Thank you, Harmony and Teresa!
