Cooler/ Cooker and Napper Bags

Yesterday was our August Dixie Diva meeting, and I taught the Diva's how to make the Cooler/Cooker bags.

Ricci, Verny, Jan, Melissa
Or if your are Ricci, they are now called the Cooler/ Cooker and Napper bags.
She also thought they could be used as mini bean bag chairs for small pets.

Ricci ordered in a lot of beans. Holy Cow! The two boxes next to the wall were filled with polystyrean beads also.
I see many cooler/cooker bags in the Diva's future.

Working away in Ricci's beautiful sewing room.

Filling the bags is a two woman effort.

The Diva's were impressed with my high-tech funnel.

That Ricci always comes up with a fun pose to make us laugh.

Kind of Peter-Panish don't you think?

One of the things that we can always count on is a lot of laughter within our group.

We love being together.

Jan K. wins the award for the most dedicated Diva. She had surgery on her hand just the day before, and yet she still attended our meeting.

Ouch. Carpel tunnel but they had to remove part of the bone.

She said she was still happy because the block hadn't worn off yet.

Margaret brought Show and Tell.

She wanted the Diva's opinion on selecting a border fabric.

The design is the Block of the Month "Tonga Nature" from Wing and a Prayer.

Melissa has a finish.

It's always fun to go home with a finished project.

Good job Diva's!

I loved every bag, but especially Ricci's because it was made out of a Kaffe mid-weight, with a Millefiori pattern in lime green.

You know how I love those Kaffe's.

And Millefiori.

And lime green.
