January was a quiet holiday month but we did manage a few sewing days.
Mid month we enjoyed a day at Marina's house with the Gisborne girls.

And last Sunday Anne hosted a sewing day at her home. It was a good opportunity to check her progress on Irene Blanck's BOM, Paradise of Birds. Just gorgeous.
Marina finished sewing her clamshells together and then started on another project.
If you follow Marina's blog you will know that she worked her magic and the next day these clamshells became very beautiful little purse.
Of course we had to eat.
Anne made sure that we enjoyed a nutritious lunch before our sugar fix.
And a broken dishes update - now measuring 21" x 29".
The sides are getting longer and progress is slower.
