  1. I love all kinds of project bags. And will often make some of my own. I have not tried these mesh bags but would very much love to.

  2. Being a teacher, I have a collection of all kinds of bags, tote bags being my favorite. I have been eyeing the FQS mesh bags lately and am thinking of attempting a ByAnnie bag soon. Thoughts and prayers are with you, Pat.

  3. My favorite project bag is one my sister made for me with pretty fabric. I can see what is inside. She made me two. I keep all my quilting labels in one and am starting to cross stitch and have some fabric she has given me to get me back into it. She an amazing sister.

  4. I have not yet made a bag but just bought a pattern so we’ll see how that goes. Right now my favorite bag is a large bumble bee canvas bag that comes with me to my quilt guilds and Shop Hop adventures.

  5. I like mesh bags and totes bags. I am so sorry that your mam and you and your family are going through this. I am praying for you!

  6. Hello and thank you for providing this opportunity during this stressful time in your life!
    My favorite bag has a clear vinyl side so I can see what is in the bag. It’s very large and square so it holds a large block!
    Is loving bags – all shapes and sizes- a characteristic of sewers and quilters?😊

  7. I do love me a mesh project bag from Fat Quarter Shop. They come in many colors. patterns, and sizes. When you add in the styles from Lori Holt, you can’t go wrong with this product. I personally use them a lot for cross stitch project storage but they certainly have many more uses. Thinking of you Pat and wishing your family all the best as your Mother settles in and copes with her health challenges. God Bless.

  8. I think I have to have a bag for everything. I help the church make bags for back to school supplies. Things will get easier Pat, love watching you.. enjoy

  9. I use one to store quilt patterns we did over the last year and half. Would like to do another quilt and use some of my scraps. The other quilts we just used three colors for the whole quilt top. Family comes first, you do what you have to do. Take care.

  10. I made some zippered Bags that Lori Holt designed and had printed on a panel. They are different sizes and I love those for different projects.

  11. I love the mess bags for needle art projects and smaller quilt blocks. I love the larger Tula pink bags for larger quilt block projects.

  12. One summer we had to move all three of our children somewhere and then Paul and I moved to England for his next assignment. Thankfully, this type of rush doesn’t happen all the time. But I can relate to the summer you have experienced. Hopefully things begin to settle back down as we go into fall.

  13. I have made several bags, but don’t really have a favorite.. Currently I use 3 project bins, but haven’t tried a mesh project bag. This one would be fun to have. It’s my favorite color!

  14. I love all types of bags.. great for projects on the go,storage and all sorts of things. Hope all goes well with your Mom.

  15. My favorite project bag is an Autumn Leaves one by Lori Holt. I have one for each season. I mostly keep cross stitch in them. Thanks, Pat, and I totally understand what you are going through. Take care.

  16. My favorite bags are the big project bags. I like to put finished quilt tops and binding in them and I put my cross stitch in them. It makes it easy to store and keep things together.

  17. I love the bags that you see through like mesh or vinyl, I have several for my clips and other notions. You can never have enough bags, my opinion.

  18. Pat I totally just Loved watching You.,,,,Have missed You immensely but you are doing what any child would do for a parent….You are so a part of our lives that we just miss you immensely!! 🥰 Since watching your videos daily I have taken up the cross stitching ….I Love anything from The Fat Quarters Shop….Again, our Hearts are with You and one day each of us has a role too perform for our families….After watching you go thru this maybe we will do as well as You have….Hugs!!💞🥰💞

  19. I luv the mesh bags and all bags that you can see what’s inside. Iluv the surprise bags. All the bags you show are amazing. Anyone would luv thus giveaway. I understand your summer not the usual but enjoy the time with your mother. Hugs

  20. I don’t have ONE favorite. I do like the bags that have “depth” because I use them for needle work and quilting and have different size “needs”. They help keep supplies for projects together especially when life takes precedence and our projects need to be set aside until there is time and mental space to return to them.

  21. I love the mesh bag with straps so it’s easy to carry when I take my project out. All the mesh bags are such good quality.

  22. My favorite type of bag is the vinyl project type so I can see what’s in there! But those cute mesh bags from FQS are fun also!

  23. I love bags! I have project bags, ruler/cutting mat bags, hand made bags, mesh bags….picking a favorite? That is too hard to answer! 😂🤣

  24. I only have a few mesh bags but wow how I love to have everything in one spot. I would love to become a bag lady Thank you for all you do. Take care of yourself so you will be able to take care of your mom.
    Love ,hugs and prayers

  25. I love all bags! Even as a teenager and a young adult (pre-quilt making) I loved bags! My mom used to call me a bag lady. I do love mesh and the vinyl project bags so much!

  26. My favorite bag is my book bag that was given to all the teachers at my school one year. Lots of great pockets to keep organized and a padded section for my computer. Now that I’ve retired, there is always a mesh bag with cross stitch in the book bag along with a book and other odds and ends. Great for travel or next to the recliner when I want to do my stitching or reading. Best wishes to you and your mom.

  27. I love the mesh bags for my crossstitch. And my project bags I make to hold my quilt blocks on my project boards.

  28. My current favorite bag is a canvas bag that I use all the time for everything. When it gets dirty, I just throw it in the wash and it easy to clean. I take it to the fabric store with me all the time.

  29. I like all kinds of bags but love bags that don’t slide when you stack them, the mesh bags meet that requirement! And the color is awesome!

  30. I have accumulated a large collection of bags, on various sizes and types. My favorite bag is a large tote I sewed many years ago that works great toting my supplies / projects around.

  31. I don’t have a favorite bag–I love all the bags! I seem to collect bags and use them all the time for teaching and quilting. This set is a beauty!
