pleasant work

The boss liked my quilt hurrah? Did YOU quilt that she said to me LOL. And my friend loved her socks so it was all good today. :>) I helped another friend Betty Lu with her knitting lesson on her socks. It seems I am the sock guru at my groups.How nice to be a guru of something LOL. Mostly I sewed on labels in this group so the recipient would know where it came from. Ione was cutting up strips of the batting and fabric that are left after trimming. We are making pillows for the people that live out on the streets and in shelters. The pillows are lovely so I hope they can hang onto them on the street. There was a really neat pattern for making napkins, I am going to ask for the instructions and put them on here tomorrow if I get the go ahead.
At my first group I appliqued part of the next butterfly, the top two wings but remember I was also teaching knitting.
As well I had to discuss a purse that Betty Lu is going to sew for me. She did a sample of the pattern and it was delightful. It is called a Tulip Purse and is really cute. You can see it next week. The bag pattern is featured on my blog several photos ago. Betty Lu loved the purse so much she made three of them this week and has orders for three more LOL.
Have a great evening folks...
