P.S. For the compassion. . .you would have to live in a bubble not to be touched by what has happened in Haiti. My church has a sister parish in Port au Prince that was damaged by the earthquake not to mention lives lost. I will donate $1.00 per person (up to $300) that comments on this freebie. Even if you don't want the produce bags, just say hi and that you would like to have me donate a dollar for you. I will be donating directly to our sister parish, Holy Name, in Haiti. Thanks.
COMMENTS CLOSED, WINNERS ANNOUNCED SOON.

I recently found your site and have used your pattern for the bag. I have made one so far and have used it already. :) I plan to make a few produce bags in the coming weeks as well. I plan to have everyone I know outfitted with bags in the coming months. The stores here sell reusable bags and many charge 5 cents per plastic bag. The problem with the reusable ones they sell is that they are not recyclable when they break or tear and they are not easily washed.
I really like your idea of the donation for Haiti.

I've got produce bags already so I'll leave those without to enter the drawing, but I'm happy to commit you to donating an extra $1 to your sister church. I've already donated money via Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders) and encourage everybody who can to donate whatever they can afford to the relief effort.
What a fantastic project! I would love to use these at the local market.
My three favorite produce items are Swiss chard, zucchini and tomatoes.
Merci!

I would love the produce bags! The grocery bags that I have made with your pattern are fantastic. I even made an extra large one to hold the premade dinner container that sells at Whole Foods.
It is great that you are sending a donation to Haiti!

God bless you for reaching out to those in Haiti. Such a sad situation.
The produce bags are such a wonderful idea. We use cloth bags at the market for general grocery carrying, but still rely on plastic produce bags for that need - what a super idea! Our three family produce favorites are broccoli, bananas and apples.
Again, many thanks for all you do!

Produce bags, what a wonderful idea! I see many people using cloth bags, now maybe they will also start using produce bags. My fav's are tomato's, lettuce, cucumbers. I also check to see if any of these are grown in U.S.A, choosing them instead of grown out of the country.

This is wonderful. I am emailing everyone. I hope and pray they going green. I use cloth bags. I hope this will inflence some, out a 146 emails in my address book. Three is hard to pick,as a favorite. I eat mostly veggies, furits and nuts. I always worried about the weight of the bag. I use the plastic produce bags for the snow peas, green beans, nuts.I use cloth bags for everything else, go through self check out,weigh, then bag. Believe it or not, it was a bad bag thing. I had to insist after requesting the groceries be laid back in the basket and I would bag them in my cloth bags once to the trunk. "please put them in the basket I will bag them." Went in for one item,big sale.Thinking no problem, they will be thrilled not to bag. NOT>(
My sewing machine is buried because of construction, and have had both feet in surgery. So, life is in the bed both feet up. I think all that you are doing is of most wonderful.
Thank you for donating to Haiti, and for the giveaway. My favorite produce items are sweet potatoes, onions and mushrooms. airynd(at)gmail(dot)com

broccoli is a must have at all times in our house,
bananas have a special place on the counter, and I love pumpkins. i wish they were available all year! so to make up for the absence i bake, puree and then freeze them so that i can make yummy treats year round with fresh pumpkin, it's so much better then that canned stuff, and no waste!
