It’s Share-It Tuesday! What have you been working on?

Not much stitching time here the past week. I have been working on six applique posy needle cases. One will go to my swap partner next week and a couple others to friends. I’ll keep a couple here for emergency quilting gifts. Fabric (except the felt) is my own hand dyed.

Reminder for those participating in the swap, the mail date for international shipments is today. The mail date for domestic shipments (including Canada/USA) is next Tuesday. I know many of you have already sent your swap package and emailed me, thanks!! Check out the Flickr group for this swap.

What about you?? What have you been working on?
