Finally I got some time sewing again. Been a lot of long days at work, and also been busy at home. But today I got some time to enter my sewingroom. Feels good.
I started with basting this little quilt (desing Leanne Beasley). Not sure how I will quilt it, but thing I will handquilt it. Will not machinequilt over the stitchery, rather handquilt some lines in it.
Some time ago I got a kit for a small purse from Hanne. And today I have sewed it together. I usually hate zippers, but it was easy sewing the zippers into these purses. And I love having yard by yard zippers to use.
When I started sewing the first little purse together, I remembered Laila making one by using selvages. So I had to make one to. I love these small purses.
Doing some progress on my Antique sampler the last weeks. Handsewing is great when I am tired and just want to relax in my chair watching tv.
Wish I could sleep like this guy. Rusken is enjoying his new scratchboard, but first when he got a quilt on top of it to sleep on.

Lots of beautiful sewing, May Britt.
I love the photograph of Rusken.
Lovely little purse May, I usually hate zips as well. I have a pattern like that from The Birdhouse, similar.
You did a lot of things, and they are all gorgeous...
Rusken looks very content on his quilt. lol. All of your projects are beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I guess I'll stop throwing all of my selvages away now.
Rusken sure looks comfortable on 'his' quilt. :-) Your little purses are so cute. I have the alphabet stitched for mine, but haven't put it together yet. The winter redwork is beautiful, too.
Oh I love your little purses you made from Hanne! I drooled over them on her blog too! And the little winter stitchery is WONDERFUL! I think need to track that pattern down! I love it!
