I have been on a granny square kick – that is, as long as it doesn’t end up in a hand-sowing blanket anyways. I found a couple of new patterns where I am making them and then crocheting them together.

Currently, I’ve been making bags. So I am planning on using the sowing machine that I have to sow on zippers and liners.

Which bring me to something new that I have never done – fabric shopping.

The only time that I have ever shopped for fabric was when we were redoing the upholstery in our original camper (Dolly Pop up will always have my heart).

But this is different, I would be shopping for fabric to keep until I needed it or had a project to match. Right now my idea is plain zippers (white, black, grey) as well as neutral insides. Simply just to line the inside of the bags.

Potentially, adding some to a crocheted blanket. I think it would be easy to knock out a few blankets a week (especially if it’s granny square).

I never thought I’d be planning on it fabric shopping ever in my life. I knew that I have always been crafty. But I didn’t think I would pick this up.

It reminds me of my Grandma D. She loves quilting. I don’t know if I will ever be into it, but at least I know where I can ask all of my fabric questions and get guided on it.

Deep down, I’d be honored to pick up more of her hobbies. I know she wouldn’t mind helping me either, just another way that we can bond. And right now that means the most to me.
