Recycled Sleeping Mat

Mats are made of used plastic grocery bags. In this case, approximately 1000 bags were used to crochet this 6 foot by 33 inch wide mat. The mat making project was sponsored by St. Anthony's new women's group. This particular mat was made by parishioner Marilee Thiessen. She told us people were giving her strange looks at Hy-Vee when she was diving into the used bags barrel.
