Progress - of sorts

The cake is out of the oven,lemonade poured over and it is cooling in the fridge. All laundry is hanging to dry,fabric for purse is ironed and on the cutting table with the pattern sitting there. Photos taken from my;



Some detail from one of the 9 patches;

The front of Verna, all quilted;

and the back (I see lots of threads that need clipping still);

My ultra long table runner all quilted;

and the back;


I would love to get binding made for both of these so that I can take them to work on in the car on Friday.

Okay, NOW I think I can get to the bag.

**EDIT**


This is as far as I got;

I did sew the handles and turn them right side out and iron them. The talent show at church was fun and now I am just tired. I guess I bit off more than I could chew with two sewing parties this weekend.

Decided to count because I knew I was getting close and YUP, my NEXT post will be post #200!! I meant to do a giveaway at 100 but never got around to it. I will be doing a giveaway in honor of this special occassion. Stay tuned for what it might be. Since I am going to be gone next weekend I may have the end date be 4/30.
