Since everyone deserves a gift on their birthday so I thought I would enclose a Wonder Wallet with each one.
When I got home from work yesterday I cut out 20 of them. They don't take long to cut and you can get two from one fat quarter. I then sorted them into colors that could use the same thread color. Changing the thread can eat up time. Especially if you have to fill a bobbin too. No I do not have a sidewinder but if anyone gave one to me as a gift I would enjoy using it. I mention this only because sometimes my daughter reads this blog and I thought I could give her a hint.
Here they are, all lined up with the correct thread and pressed and ready to stitch. Time to go downstairs for the evening.
This morning I got 14 of them sewn. Six more to go.
I made these years ago for friends and my Dear Lu asked if I could make a few for her friends too. "Of course", I said but alas I never got it done. I called her last night and suggested she stop by before I mail them off to select the ones she wanted. I will probably make 10 more next week. Tomorrow is breakfast with the girls and mornings are when I can sew.Saturday I will be in the garage packing up some odds and ends and getting that area looking a bit more spiffy.
Sunday is another open house for us. I keep hoping the Lord will find the right buyer for us but so far He has us treading water for some reason. I understand that He knows best but my human nature is wanting to move NOW.

That looks like a great project for stashbusting, Suze. Thanks for the link to it.
I have that wallet pattern. When I made it I made a huge mistake and had to throw it all I need to get it out and try again. I thought it would be great gifts too. Once I get one done I may try to mass produce them also. Thanks for the inspiration. Bonnie
It looks like a great little wallet. Is there a zippered section in it? I might just need to make one myself!! I will put it on my "to do list" LOL
Good luck with the house.. I know how stressful it can be to have your house up for sale, always tidy and waiting to be looked at and wandered through by strangers. I hope it sells quickly.
Is this wallet pattern one you can share? I'd love to have it. blessings, marlene
