GOODY BAGS

These lovely Vietnamese silk bags from Lantern Moon are just perfect for presenting special gifts for knitters, quilters and other crafters. We like to keep a different project in each bag, and carry them with us wherever we go!  Lantern Moon uses the highest quality materials and fair labor practices for their fine products, which certainly reflects in the beautiful sheen of these brilliantly colored bags.

I like cutting the fabric for a quilt and typing out the directions. Then, i put it in a jar and make it look pretty and, write quilt in a jar on the front and give it to one of my friends that know how to quilt.
