purses are done.  I tried a few different methods of construction, but decided I really like the zipper across the top best, tho the top corners don't turn nicely.

The border looks great.

And I've started on my applique wall hanging, to be hung on my sewing room door.  I have only stitched down a few items (to give me a break from the Christmas binding) but it is going very quickly.  There are a couple of mushrooms & leaves left to prepare - oh and a chickadee, almost forgot him.  And I need to find some realistic looking butterfly prints (slightly larger than a quarter) to add near the top.

That is cuter than a bug's ear.  (Any bugs to applique on it?)

a bee and a couple of butterflies.  I might add a dragon fly in place of a butterfly as we have a lot more dragonflies in our yard than butterflies.

#impressed!

Wow!  It looks amazing, Dee!

I may have some butterflies. I put some in my last applique project that had the squirrels.

Those should be a good seller.  I love little bags. I have several that have been gifts for being a retreat hostess.  Now that I'm getting several of my quilt tops quilted, I have lots of binding to do.  I have put thread, needles, little scissors, and clips in 3 of them to go with the quilts until I get the binding done.  Very helpful.

Glad you completed your tasks at the house.  I know it is a relief for you.  Hope it rents out quickly.   Now you can get back to your sewing and quilting with all the things you need in one place.
