Happy 4th! Okay, I'm a day late. I hope everyone had an enjoyable and safe holiday. I would love to tell you that I partied the weekend away but sadly, nope. Nothing like that. Homebody that I am, I stayed VERY close to home. I never left... except to go to the grocery store yesterday. Amelia has been away since Thursday, enjoying some time with her Grandma and Grandpa in New Hampshire. She will be home sometime this afternoon. My husband worked most of the weekend because he could. I, on the other hand, watched a bunch of junk on TV and sewed. The neighbors did invite us over yesterday to watch fireworks and while I was very gung-ho about going in the afternoon, come time after dinner to head out... I fell asleep on the couch. My husband went alone.
I have been busy sewing. Here are a few things that I finished up. First up is a beach bag for Punkie. PLEASE keep in mind that I did not... I repeat... I
DID NOT... pick out the fabrics that are used in this bag. Punkie did. It's her bag and she will be pleased to see it all together today. It was a WIP when she left.

Next is a Pinwheel Charm Tote for one of the hairdressers where I go. She's been wanting one since March and I left it up to her to cruise the internet and find fabrics that she liked. When she told me she couldn't decide and left that chore up to me, I couldn't decide either! This is what I went with:

Last up... table runner with my Sanibel scraps. The table runner pattern is available within the Sweet Pea quilt top pattern. I thought it would be a good size for my table or my china hutch. Not sure how I'm going to quilt this one yet.
Come back soon. I've been playing with my embroidery arm of my sewing machine. I'll have to show you what I made.
Enjoy your day!
