Grocery bags...I have one pictured. This is the large size and boy, they are quite handy and hold a lot of groceries. I have several sets in my car and more in my husband's. We use them all the time.
A sweater for Dad. I made this using my "incredible sweater machine". My Bond machine is in storage and so I bought the ISM on ebay about a month ago and reacquainted myself with machine knitting. I like it, but I think I'll hand knit my ribbing.
I also used the rest of the left over yarn to make a knitted infinity scarf for my sister. So quick and easy using the machine. No designs or extra colors, just gray, but warm, so warm. I need to make one for myself. After Christmas, I say, after Christmas.
Microwave bowl cozies for family...I sewed this set yesterday using the directions found on the internet under https://www.thesprucecrafts.com/microwaveable-bowl-potholders-2977955
They are quick to make; I do need to go down and purchase more batting...you have to use 100% cotton batting since this will go inside a microwave oven.
Behind me, I have my Sweet Sixteen long arm and she is waiting for another to quilt. Last week, I purchased Patsy Thompson's suspension system #1 (https://www.patsythompsondesigns.com/) to use on my Sweet Sixteen to help as I quilt. No more dragging quilt tops...it can be tiring to shift and lift heavy quilt parts. I think I will move it to the other side of the table. It's rather close to the thread tree...I could also raise it a bit. I'm excited to use it.
