A Few Good Bananas

A Few Good Bananas Permission to Play! Our parents taught us that life is short so you should live it to the fullest.

Our mom put "a few good bananas" on every grocery list, and our Dad advised us not to buy green bananas, because you never know if you will be around long enough for them to ripen!

As fiber artists, we’re used to working with reclaimed materials. When we find a piece with rips, stains, holes, or tears, we don’t just see what it is, we see what it could become.
We wash it. We cut away what can’t be saved. We mend, patch, and stitch it back into something strong, functional, and beautiful.

Right now, our country feels like that imperfect piece.

So many people who came before us already did the hard work, the brave work, the patient work to move things forward. We want to honor that, preserve what matters, and keep building on it.

We still believe there’s hope here… but hope isn’t passive. It’s something we make, together, one careful stitch at a time.

We love how anything goes with vintage crazy quilts! Colors, shapes, textures …. Just kind of a free for all. Found a partially finished quilt in our travels that seemed like a perfect fit for this purse pattern.

Lots of other great little finds at Vintage Bling And Other Fabulous  Things, too!
