Don’t miss this “Project Bag” SOS. Make a bag to store the projects you are working on: convenient, pretty bags with a clear vinyl front.
         PQG member Allison Owens will show us how to make the bag using an easy zipper technique. Be sure to sign up soon---space is limited to 16 so that everyone has ample sewing space. You know there's at least one bag that you want---or get a head start on your donations to the 2026 Quilt Show Boutique.
Supply List
1. Fabric for back and inside front about 20 inch pieces for: back (maybe use orphan blocks!), for inside (a light color fabric works best) and for batting. These will be quilted together and finished to 19 x 19 inch square. Note you can use double sided quilted fabric instead.
2. For front top and bottom edge: two 4 x 19 inch coordinating quilted pieces. Use a third piece if you want zipper encased in fabric rather than next to vinyl
