Thread bed progress and flowers are still blooming!

I managed to get 33 scissor pouches turned right side out yesterday. When I got home, I folded in the opening and gave all 33 a good pressing.

Next I topstitched the one side and the point, punch the snap holes, and installed one half of the snap. Here is the stack ready for the next step which was folding, inserting the label, and stitching. 

I decided to stitch all the pouches with light gray thread. Since I am needing to get these done, I figure I would save a lot of time not changing thread colors. So far the gray looks fine.

I got 10 done last evening. With the other 10 that were done, I now have 20 out of 200 or 10% complete.

To keep ahead of having pouches to turn at lunch, I have this pile of scraps

that I started cutting more pouches. I have them laid out with the interfacing that needs to be pressed still.

A lady that worked for the same company as I recently resigned. She had 15 thread beds and 39 project bags that remained unsold at her retreats and she sent them to me. I will add these to the pile I am taking with me to my retreat. Some of the project bags had a second small bag in them. I had forgotten about those. I now make the thread beds instead of the small bags.

I did stop and look at my flowers on the way to the mailbox last evening. The coneflower is a volunteer that popped up this year so it is a late bloomer. There will be more flowers if it doesn't freeze.

The California Poppies are still blooming too!
