Bags, blocks and binding

Besides working on the Saturday Sampler this week, I'm finishing a few little things, and keeping up with other weekly tasks.  


The first month's row for Saturday Sampler is almost halfway done.  Seven of the 15 chevrons are assembled and all of the other pieces are ready.  I've made a few each day this week, with other sewing in between them.  I have until the 2nd Saturday of March to finish this row, but plan to have it all done much sooner than that.  

Those little coin purses I was working on are finished.  I think I've made 13 of these so far.  All of them are made from scraps, except for the zippers and lobster clips.  But I had those zippers and clips in the stash anyway.   


The 5th block for the Riley Blake Design challenge was posted on Tuesday, and I got this block cut out and sewn on Wednesday morning.  It's called Flower Patch, designed by Heather Peterson.  This was an easy one.  I've been using my stash of Tula Pink fabrics.  The fussy cut center square has a squirrel.  


The binding is prepped for some small projects - a baby quilt and a doll quilt.  First thing today I plan to sew the binding onto the baby quilt so I'll have that to work on in the evenings while watching TV.  The doll quilt binding is actually ready for hand stitching.

Nice progress! I wonder what else you will be doing today besides getting the binding on the baby quilt.

Well done! I’ve been sewing more this week to keep my mind occupied with things other than politics.
