Does hand stitching the beading on to the bags count.
It is slow to do so I am linking up with  Slow Sunday Stitching
I am making these little bags to put my dried Lavender in. I pruned my bushes the other week and have dried the heads. Beautiful home grown & dried lavender. Smells lovely.

Sorry, not much PINK here though.
Today I spent sewing my scrappy 2 1/5" cut blocks together continuing my "Good Night Irene Quilt" from Terry's Treasures
My first 5 blocks done. So I have caught up with January's blocks.

Quilt cam with Bonnie & FNWF at Gone Stitchin'

I was actually home today to watch Bonnie's Quilt Cam LIVE.... at Quiltville
So I sat down and started cutting my 4 1/2" background squares and my scrappy 2 1/2" squares. Lots of them were needed. Then I went to do a practice square.



I have started my " Good Night Irene Quilt" & following the sew along over with the others at 


I started the sewing and have linked up with Cheryll and the others doing Friday Night with Friends over at Gone Stitchin'

So tonight I am continuing cutting 2 1/2" blocks.

Friday 7th February  check out what everyone is doing over here at Gone Stitchin'

The first Friday night of the month link up or just take a look at all the happy stitchers.
I am not sure what I will get out. I'm sure it won't be hard to find something though. I'll get sorted then put on a DVD and get the machine moving along.
