Pockets are so handy in any form. I finished up one of the pockets I started last week....

Karen Ruane is selling a PDF download of one of her doodles
here. I have so many ideas on how to use this. So far, I've printed it on dupioni silk and made myself a little pocket for a small knitting project. There are so many different ways to use this and she talks about that
here. Go on over and check it out. Here's the pocket I made this morning.

Once a year, my quilting bee has a gift exchange. We had such a wonderful time and exchanged so many beautiful items. Here's a pic of all of us. We sure do look happy in this picture....don't we....that's me in the white blouse up front.

Some of us stopped at a local quilt shop on the way home and there were some things I couldn't resist.
The garden is doing well and I actually picked Swiss Chard for my salad this week. It will be awhile before anything else is ready for picking. The temperature reaches 80 almost every day. It does feel wonderful spending some time outdoors this time of year.
Wishing you all a great weekend and lots of creativity.
