Participants of Global Connections Friendship Friday on April 16 made ’market tote bags’! We did our part to recycle the earth’s resources by sewing cloth bags to use as we shop in place of the plastic bags given by stores. Gifted sewer and teacher, Joan Edwards coached us through choosing fabric, cutting, sewing and finally folding compactly to a size that easily fits in purse or car door. As always, we also had a wonderful potluck lunch where we enjoyed the cooking from Viet Nam, Russia, Uzbekistan, China, Chad, and of course, America!!!
