I have made two christmas gifts. These two cosmetic totes was easy and fast to make. I think I am going to make more of these. Perhaps one for myself too. And my DD also wanted a new one. Perhaps I'll make her one and fill it with soap, lotion and makeup.
My four blocks for the Country Whig Rose wall hanging" from the Simple Blessing book are done and I have sewed them together. I will now start on the border around very soon. I love doing needleturn applique.
While watching tv this weekend I also got a lot of handquilting done on my "Say it with flowers" I have only a few weeks left before it have to be finished. I have entered it in my quiltgroups ufo-challenge and we are going to show them the last thursday this month. I am quilting the last flower and then I just have the border left.
Guess what this is going to be? This is something I started to sew on this evening. Six hexagons and four diamonds put together............ I'll show you tomorrow !!

You've really gotten a lot done this weekend, girl. LOVE those bags, and one filled with goodies would be a wonderful gift for the DD! :) And your Simple Blessings applique blocks are gorgeous, May Britt! I really love the colors that you've used. Can't wait to see it with the borders. :)
You have been busy! Very cute little bags - I love making bags.
Very, very nice applique blocks. I also prefer to do needle turn applique. It is so simple to prepare and easy to do.
Busy, busy girl and such varied, interesting projects. It would be hard to pick a favorite since they are all so lovely.
You've had a busy weekend! Love your Gratitudes quilt. And the bags, and the applique. All very nice.

Your quilt is looking so good- even if the colours didnt come out so well.

Love your Gratitudes progress. I added more rows to mine to make it a bit bigger so now I am a little behind.
You have certainly been busy this weekend May Britt. Did you have time to eat and sleep? LOL.
Your Gratitude quilt looks great. So do the cosmetic bags. What a great idea to make them as gifts.
The four appliqued blocks are lovely. I like the colors you have used for them.
I am curious to see what you are making with those hexagons. I would like to have a go at making some but i will have to wait until i finish some UFOs
Great Quilts and Totes! You are sure busy and working very hard.
May, you really had a productive weekend, didn't you! Love your four-block Whig Rose appliqué - I've always liked that design and your colors are nothing short of spectacular. Can't figure out your puzzle however - I guess I'll need to check back tomorrow!
What a productive weekend. I am impressed with all your work and I especially like the blue bags.
Your needle turn blocks are beautiful, you do beautiful work!

Oh my goodness, what a productive weekend! I LOVE your hour a day quilt! And those makeup bags are just too adorable! I have to file that idea away in my head! And I love your little heart too! Oh and I can't forget your wonderful Whigs Rose blocks! Those are to die for!
I'm a little late, but just had to say that I love all the goodies you've shown in this post. Your applique project is so pretty and your bags are bright and cheerful - what great gift bags they'd make.
Very cute bags, and your explanations further up the page is more than understandable!
Wish you a nice weekend!
