Made in the USA! Isn’t it great to hear those words, made in the USA? Continuing along with it’s really is a bag thing, these are Ashland Sky Bags carried by Leigh Designs. They are very functional and “purrfect” bags for all of our needlepoint projects. They are made of high quality frosted vinyl with colorful nylon fabric trims and made entirely in the USA by people with disabilities.
This is a great bag coming in a wide assortment of shapes, sizes and colors. There are flat sacks in small, medium or large with shoulder straps, a 9″ x 12″ project pouch for your threads that you can just drop into the flat sack to keep your project together and a 6″ x 7″gadget bag to hold beads, needles and all the necessary tools that we need to stitch with. They are available in many colors such as black, blue, green, olive, orange, purple, red or turquoise. You could color coordinate everything or mix and match! How about red for Holiday projects? or oange for Halloween? the possibilities are limitless!
This picture only represents a sampling of the bags and to see all of the choices available; go to Leigh Designs website http://www.leighdesigns.com/AS-Home.html
My sister and I took the day off yesterday from organizing and folding the quilting fabrics, but we will be back to work at it today! I am slowly putting aside a pile of fabrics that catch my fancy and will leave a wish list behind when I depart. The weather has been exceptionally picture perfect this last week, but the weather man says that it is coming to a screaming halt today as heat, humidity and thunderstorms approach.
Yesterday was a wonderful day at “The Lake” which I learned was Caroga Lake, located in the Adirondacks. It has been many years since I have been home when the ground was not frozen over and covered with snow, so I forgot how beautiful is is around here at this time of the year. A cool breeze, a delightful afternoon outside, a walk around the lake, a little adult beverage, a gourmet meal, great conversation and best of all…the company.
and until next time…keep on stitching
These are awesome bags! And, made right here by disabled Americans is a very big deal to me. I learned very quickly when my late husband lost a leg that being ‘disabled’ was not as described. I think we should all contact our wonderful friend Leigh and commend her for such a great bag and order them up!
yes we should! but we need to order them from our favorite needlepoint shop…
I didn’t know and I am happy that I purchased some about 2 weeks ago. Will spread the word.
PS: No pictures of the “children” today? 😀
Thank you for missing the “children” Palma!
