Mississippi Literacy Association asked for some silent auction items to raise funds for literacy grants to teachers. I am making some zip bags with a new pattern that only uses 3 fat quarters.
Sea shells above showing the lining and binding.
Below the first two bags finished.

The third bag is almost finished - just the binding to do.
The outer and inner fabric has to be quilted together before the pieces are cut.
I love this day/night mirror image of houses but wasn't sure what to do with it.
I think it makes a cute bag.
Sorry for the sideways photos.
I am also making two flannel swaddling blankets and including some flannel bibs.
Surely someone will need baby gifts at the silent auction.
Saturday I zoomed with new quilt guild friends to learn how to paper piece.
I have always avoided paper piecing because I couldn't figure out the written directions.
Doing it with others on zoom with step by step instructions helped a lot.
The two sections we did together are one-fourth of the finished block.
I will finish the block later this week.
Below is a template for circles that I found at an art supply store.
I think I will use this for making appliqué circles on my wool appliqué project.
What have you been doing this week?
Hope you have found time to sew.
