I hope this finds you having a great weekend. We are enjoying the cabin and cooler temps. Tomorrow we will hike to the top of Sand Mountain, the view should be spectacular. XOXO—Teresa ❤️🥰 ⛰️🥾🏃‍♀️

UPDATE: New Zealand Chapter!

Such cute bags from Bagette Olive all the way over in New Zealand. I love that we have so many chapters around the world helping to reduce plastic. One of these days I will get to NZ and sew with Olive's group. :)  Keep up the great work everyone! Teresa

Teresa--

I'm decluttering my sewing room but made 57 bag kits for community sewing for next year. I made up 3 kids bags as they needed a bit of piecing first.

Our community sewing group has disbanded for spring and summer meet again in March 2025.

Regards--

Bagette Olive from New Zealand

UPDATE: Maine Chapter!

Hi Teresa--

Here's an Update from the Maine Chapter of the GBL Project.

The Maine Chapter of the Green Bag Project has been making kids size fabric bags recently. They measure 12“ x 12“ with 12“ x 3“ handles. We received a fabulous donation of children’s themed fabric from a wonderful 92 year friend of mine, and the bags are super cute.

Here are three photos that were taken at the Southwest Harbor farmers market this summer when I gave out bags as a guest vendor. 

I found that the adults also liked the 12 x 12“ bags. I think we might start making 12 x 12“ bags for adults too with fabric pieces that are too small to make 18 x 18“ bags.
Enjoy!

I geeked out and decorated for Halloween this week. I realized I didn’t have a felt banner for my fireplace like I do for all other holidays 🤷🏼‍♀️ no idea why. So, I ran to the sewing machine to make one. I love how it turned out and specifically love the googly eyes peeking from the mummy wrap. Hope you are enjoying a lovely fall weekend. 😊🧡🖤 Teresa

UPDATE: WASHINGTON, Edmonds/Seattle Area

Thank you Bagette Barbara for this great update. I want to visit this chapter too, they always seem to have great food to accompany the sewing! I love all the places they have donated bags, they are doing an amazing job donating to so many great groups that need bags. Keep up the great work ladies! :) Teresa

Hi Teresa--

The Edmonds, WA Chapter of the Green Bag Lady Project met on September 20, 2024 at the home of Bagette Kathleen.

 

Bagette Pamela said: “Hi there! A small but mighty group gathered for our September GBL sewing bee! It was a beautiful fall day and we took a tour of Kathy's gardens in the backyard!”

Bagette Susan keeps me posted about some of the local organizations the Edmonds, WA Chapter of GBL  have contributed fabric bags to and/or have contacted to see if they need/want bags, which include the Edmonds Food Pantry, Path from Poverty, Cocoon House, and Hygiene Center.

 

I’m so proud of these Edmonds Bagettes. I can’t wait until I have another opportunity to go to Washington to sew and visit them. Thanks to Bagette Pamela for the photos.

Just over here making 6 dozen cookies for a potluck BBQ tomorrow. 🍪🍪 How about you? I made 2 different gluten free varieties: chocolate chip, coconut, pecan & apricot, oatmeal, white chocolate, pecan. Of course I had to taste test. Both ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ so good. Wishing you a sweet weekend filled with treats. 😊❤️💚 Teresa

Bonjour, Teresa. 

I’m in Calvi, a town on the island of Corsica, France. Here are my GBL travel bags numbers 66946, 89081, and 89083 hanging off the balcony that I’m using for purchases of baguettes, Corsican cheese, Corsican wine, peaches, pears, and grapes. All is magnifique!

How are you?

New Voters!❤️💙

Do you have a high schooler who is in need of service hours, or one that is looking to get involved with voting this election season?

My daughter, Margaux, works at a national, non partisan nonprofit (new-voters.org) that works with students to run voter registration drives at their high schools. New Voters is actively looking for students to get out the vote at their schools.

Students can sign up to run a drive at their school. New Voters provides mentorship, onboarding, and (super cool!) prizes!

If you have a teen or know a teen who would be interested, please message me or email my daughter at margaux@new-voters.org
