Sewing lots of little things

Bernie and I have been quite busy lately, and most of what we have been playing with has been small things. A couple of weeks ago a dear friend of mine let me know her little make-up purse had been worn out, and could I make her a new one? Of course!! So looking through my fabrics I found something quite far away from what she asked for, but (fingers crossed) I have a feeling she might like it anyway



While I was at it I made a couple more - one which was given away to someone having her birthday on Monday:



And a larger make-up bag my mum had asked for as a present for someone I have never met:



It is kind of nervewrecking making something not knowing what the person's preferences are, so it is pretty neutral, and my mum think it will be well received.

My mum's birthday was yesterday, and she has a table runner I made years ago laying on the dining room table almost year round - even though it is very wintery in cream, pine green and christmas reds. So I figured she needed something more summery, and made another DNP runner - this time in oldfashioned pink, muted green and florals on cream:

...and I had a ball quilting it - heaps of lines, straight stitch and zig-zag.

Another birthday present has been put together, the bindings were finished at lunch today. And when I was going to take a picture I just couldn't help myself but had to lay the table:

They turned out very bright and cheerful. Hope they will be liked and used!!

Perhaps there is time for some me-sewing soon? My fingers have been itching since this parcel arrived last weekend:
