One Finish. And Tiny Scissors. And Circles!

After having THREE quilts quilted by a friend, I finally completed the binding on the first one - I know, I'm slow! The newly finished quilt is on the right - Open Envelopes. Hubby's quilt is one the left. So we finally have coordinating quilts while we sit in our matching recliners to watch TV in the evenings. Ha!

A friend gave me a pair of these tiny scissors last Fall and I adore them! I do so much hand sewing and decided I needed a pair in every project bag. I also feel safe with these little snips around Sadie - I hear they are even approved by the airlines for carry on. So I ordered a bunch more so I'll always have them nearby. I got mine from anniescatalog.com.

I finally used my bag! Hubby and I went to our lake house Sunday to take care of some odds and ends, so I packed up a couple of projects for the road; it was perfect!

The other little project I have going is another bag - thank goodness this is a more simple sewing project. It's the Macaroon Bag.

I spent FOREVER prepping these little circles for both sides of the bag. Now they are ready for applique. I would love to get the hand stitching done during this week and assemble the bag this weekend. Let's see if I can do this! I hope so!!! 

I am SO enjoying the Spring weather! We went for a nice walk today and loved every second. I even started listening to a new book at the same time. I hope you are having nice weather, too.

Have a great week!
