Hi! I found you through brassy apple…those are SO cute. I have made a couple but I have the stuff to make more. I need to do it! I love the Valentine’s twist. What a great idea! That was so thoughtful to make them for all the teachers!!

You are going to have a very happy group of teachers! That’s awesome that you and Kim did that for them-so nice. It’s great to let our teachers know we appreciate them. Great job!! Hope all is well with you and your family.

These look great! Where do you buy the wheat in bulk?

Hi Jane! That’s a great question. I did not use any special thread for it. You only put it in the microwave for 1-2 minutes. I’ve used mine many times without any problems. I would be careful to watch though as I would with anything I put into the microwave.

Do you have to use a special thread type for the embroidery? Is it microwave safe? Thanks.

Wow–unbelievable. You two are a couple of powerhouses to pump out such an incredible amount of sacks! The teachers will love those! I received my first sack like that a hundred years ago when I was teaching myself. A cutie 5th grader gave me a bag that was filled with feed corn. I have loved it, and still use it. Our tile gets so cold at night that I can’t go to bed without warming that bag and snuggling in with it. I am anxious to try the wheat with the oils—I have never heard of trying that before. What a great idea! Thanks so much for sharing, and the embroidered bags are so darling!
