You may recall the placket cloth bag I made last year. If not, you can take a quick peek at this index entry to refresh your memory …
[Note: you’ll need to scroll down a bit as the “placket cloth” posts will include this one]

It was the undoing of the old …
that enabled the remaking of the new …
So now I have retired my commercially made stitch bag and will use this one instead. Don is already shaking his head imagining what I will look like when I carry both bags at the same time …
Highly visible, I’d say …

As I read these last two posts I kept thinking of Jude's baskets and the concept of \”holding\”. Your bags are holders just like baskets. Holding stuff, holding memories, holding physical touch and mental discernment… Cloth is such a powerful sponge or trap for feelings and images. I can see the literal and metaphorical layers of those things in your bags and can imagine how much more rich they are for you. Lovely, life-enhancing work.
