The last day of may already

Last day of may already, can you belive it.
The weather here in Germany is more than a little shi...y.
Its been raining and raining and raining. Where is all the water going.
When I walked Lisa this morning my friend said. " the Lord must have a very high water bill" 
I really would be happy with some dry day's, some sunshine would be nice too.
But on the other hand with the rainy days I do not feel so quilty being on the sewing machine.lol
I been working on my mystery from Darlene part 4.
I added just the piano key border like I seen it at Lesley's blog -The Cuddle Quilter
And I started on my log cabins :-).
Then my sweet DIL been here.
The last time she was here to sew, she seen a fabric in my stash that she thought would be great for a bag.
So that's what she came up with . She is getting real good. 
She turnes out to be a bigger bag lady than me. Lol
I'm getting real competition here.
So, and know for my give away for the month of may.
Here are 6 pattern. They already a few years old but never been used.
Just collecting dust. Sorry for the bad picture. I just could not take them without a glare. 
So if you want them, just leave a comment until next week friday the 7th of June.
Then I let the number generator do the trick .
Good luck.
You all have a great weekend.

Then  my sweet DIL been here. She wanted to make two B-day presents for her friends.
 
So she made a purse for one and a notebook cover for her other friends.

She did very good and she gets quicker every time she sews something. Pretty soon I have to put a lock on my fabric stash . Lol.
 
Ok that's it for today. I hope you all have a great Sunday.
Don't forget that next Friday is the last day of May and time for my next Give away. There are still plenty of things in my sewing room that need a new home.
 
Lots of quilting hugs
