February is the shortest month as we all know, but this year is turning out to be an “anti-leap year”. Instead of getting stats for 28 days, you’re getting them for 26.5 as I won’t have internet access after this evening.
I’ll do a catch-up post eventually if there are any changes to report from the last day and a half but these are the stats so far.
3026 bags have been made by 48 pods. I don’t remember so many pods adding bags in one month before – amazing! No doubt Offcuts will correct me if there are duplicates.

Welcome back Chris!“At the The Taylor’s Needle, we believe in supporting our community with the skills and resources that we have available. We use our leftover scraps of fabric (and considerable amount of skill ; ) to help improve our environment and the lives of others in our community. We welcome anyone wanting to join our little team here in the Treasure Valley!”
For those not in the know, the wonderful-sounding Treasure Valley is at Nampa, near Boise, Idaho, USANoosa Dillybags writes “I joined Morsbags 7 years ago when I had broken my leg and sewing was about all I could do. Since then I’ve joined a group called Boomerang Bags, Noosa and we share the same goals as Morsbags. We currently sew from Wallace House, Noosa Arts & Crafts in Noosaville on Monday & Wednesday mornings from 9.30 to 12.30. We have made hundreds of bags which have been distributed throughout the Noosa shire to organisations such as Noosa Council, IGA supermarket and many smaller retail shops selling fruit and veg, books, health foods and more. We welcome all new volunteers whether you can sew or not. There are many jobs for non sewers and we are happy to teach you to sew if you want to learn.”
Noosa is in Queensland, Australia“Wundertüte is a solo pod and bags the local library and the Vechelde book swap. Recently I discovered the Morsbag pattern for wheelchairs and gave them a go. I found a willing “test pilot” who tried out my prototype bag on her Zimmer frame. As a result, eight other ladies in the nursery home requested bags for themselves. I was thrilled and, of course, obliged.”
Thanks for all your efforts, morsbaggers everywhere! The turtles and whales thank you too! 😀

March 16, 2017 at 10:57 pm #6494We’re back from our hols, I’ve de-spammed the forum (sorry about that…) and had a look at the stats for the last day and a half of February.
I hope you’ll be interested to learn that 9 pods added another 214 bags, bringing the total for February up to 3240, and one more pod should be added to the Roll of Merit for that month – congratulations HopStitching!
