Linda G. Craig Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 I have a number of quilts I've just completed for Cancer Care Canada to be given to patients taking chemo. My question is, I would like to do up a simple bag for the patient to be able to easily carry the quilts to their treatment centers. I had thought about a pillow case to match the quilt, but that wouldn't have any handles. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Make a stuff bag--a pillowcase-shaped bag with a drawstring top. Easy to make with either one long piece of fabric, seamed up both sides or from two rectangles. Use the fatter, soft cotton rope for the drawstring. After treatment it can have multiple uses and is washable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda G. Craig Posted May 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Excellent idea! Thanks Linda. I really like the idea of it being re-usable. Perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neher-in-law5 Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Or make a "tootsie pocket" on the quilt, like a quillow and put a simple handle on the pocket. On stop carrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda G. Craig Posted May 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 It's been many years since I've made quillows (I'm not going to say how many! Lol!), but I know just want you mean. Great idea, thanks for the suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
