I have done some terrible things to irons too (like ironing on freezer paper templates for applique but getting it turned upside down and fusing the freezer paper onto my iron, where it doesn't come off nearly as easily as on the fabric); teflon soleplates have saved me several times. I have those Publix bags too and love them since they hold so much, but I feel like a walking billboard carrying them home - I may try embelishing them too. Thanks for the idea.The Calico Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01772374749065425388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27934479.post-62847223320328354882008-07-21T22:42:00.000-04:002008-07-21T22:42:00.000-04:00Great idea!

Yours look great, and I like the idea of being green. Someone said that in their area they got a .05 cent credit for every bag they saved, and I think that is only fair. When we needed some extras, Publix charged up .10 cents each. I think it should go both ways.Candacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07282145706665260731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27934479.post-32083980884465651592008-06-20T17:02:00.000-04:002008-06-20T17:02:00.000-04:00I have to say, i never worry about which bags I ha...I have to say, i never worry about which bags I have in which shop - I just collect them as I need them (that is, buying a new one when i have forgotten to come out with one in the first place) and they live in the boot of my car - I've been using non-plastic for a couple of years now and I like them SO much better than plastic (for one thing, they never tear through when you put something heavy or pointy in them) - and they are so much more common here now that checkers always ask if you want a bag... Very soon, shops will start charging for plastic, which I am all for. <BR/><BR/>All that said, I like what you've done with yours.Kate Northhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04995181032124912822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27934479.post-52113338842328876142008-06-19T00:38:00.000-04:002008-06-19T00:38:00.000-04:00Great idea!

You've got me thinking!<BR/><BR/>Where in GA do you live? I am not there yet, but hope to be when hubby retires. 3/4 of our kids and all 3+ grands are in the greater Atlanta area.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17840530854927719581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27934479.post-12441214405441184762008-06-18T10:13:00.000-04:002008-06-18T10:13:00.000-04:00I hate the advertising too.
