Martha rocks...Ive had alot of emotions over the years about her from adoring her in my early days to not liking her as much but now Im getting to admire her again...she sure is a tough lady and you have to admire that in her....Judy

I hate to get into politics, but what 'they' did to her was terrible. Good for her, she is going to be an even more powerful woman than ever now that she has come out of this.

I was ripping when her shows got ripped from my cable channels.

Reminder: This is a sewing forum and personal opinions of controversial people should not be aired here.

Nannapoo, excuse me, but I happened to have read one of your replies about a 'controversial' person in this very forum just a few days ago. I might add that I added my two cents agreeing to your reply LOL! I figure as long as people don't use bad language or profanity, it doesn't bother me.

Yes, of course you did and I would not deny it for a moment. But then the person who began this thread posted another message on OT Royal Wedding that personal opinions should not be aired about the Royal family and certain American politicals on a SEWING FORUM. Then lo and behold I came looking and found THIS. Can you believe she did not have a thing to say about personal opinions being aired here about the controversial MS? So I just came on here to remind everyone, WHAT'S GOOD FOR THE GOOSE IS GOOD FOR THE GANDER. So we should all abide by that rule, not just the ones who posted about the Royal Wedding.

Ain't that the truth! I have found that people tend to try to restrict other's free speech when it goes against their views. And they're not subtle about it either. They'll usually really 'clobber' you when you say something they don't agree with, then use that old defense about 'this isn't the proper place to express one's opinion.' Not fair. Not fair at all.

If you will read again my post, you will see that I was commenting on the plastic bag holder that I saw on the TV program. Just thought I would pass along an easy project that someone else on this forum might like to try.

Seeing as how this thread had dropped off the first page entirely, I wonder if you had to search for a way to cause more mischief.

Now, now, now! It wasn't necessarily what you wrote here, but the following PERSONAL OPINIONS, to which you replied NOTHING. ROFLOL!!

I don't mind anyone posting about anything....I can choose to read it or not from the subject heading. OT's are a nice change sometimes. Live and let live.

Please, try to remember that writing whole sentences or ideas in all-caps is yelling. If it isn't possible to express personal views in a normal "tone", perhaps a "time out" is in order.

It would have been nice to discuss all those neat outfits and hats on the sewing forum. IMHO designer clothes and fancy hats are more fun to talk about than baby burp cloths and the tabloids. To each her own I suppose.

Teresa, I missed that MS Living show. That's a good idea with the towel. Then it would match the rest of the kitchen towels. I don't like all the cutesy stuff either. Oddly, I didn't go designer though. I found a bag holder in a hot chili peppers print. It matches my red kitchenaid mixer. Vavoom!!

Leigh,
I think the bag holder would be a good idea for a craft bazaar sale. I might make some for the Boutique we have when we have the next quilt show in 2006.

They are easy to make: take a rectangle of cloth (or a kitchen towel) about 18" by 24", fold in half(right sides together), stitch a seam down the long edge, turn under hems on the top and bottom and make a casing for a narrow piece of elastic in each - about 6 to 8" long - thread the elastic thru, fasten the elastic ends and stitch some twill tape or braid to make a hanging loop at the top.

So sorry,

But it really is not possible for me to yell while I am laughing so hard...............

That *is* easy. And if you used plain towels, you could do a coordinating fabric edge to cover the elastic and then use the same fabric to do potholders to match.

Have you seen that heat reflective batting? I used that to make some potholders for xmas gifts and it worked great. It didn't seem like it dulled my needle much either. (At least that I noticed!) I thought it might with all those little flecks of teflon. Have you used it?

Thanks for your post, I missed the show but I did a search on Martha's site and I found it! Here is the link, hope it works....I am going to whip up a few of them, one for the mudroom,one for the shed and one for the garage. And I'm sure when my neighbours/family/friends see them, I will be in a bag holder making frenzy!
Thanks for the heads up!

Here is a link that might be useful: Martha's bag holder

Thanks for the link. I love this idea and the directions. So glad you started this post. I have been wanting one or two of these and needed some directions. Joyce

Well,i'm the country cutesy type so i have a cow bag holder in my kitchen,made by me of course.
My girl friend took an old plaid shirt of her husbands(long sleeve) cut the sleeve off,added a casing and a loop at the top and hung this in her laundry room for her bags.She left the cuff on,just buttoned it up and stuffed her bags in.Easy and free.Not too shabby either.
