It is a very boring, tedious and hard on the hands job so only about 3 bibs are tackled each day. I would never undertake doing a rag quilt for that very reason.
To give myself a break from the boredom I decided to make another double oven mitt this time for the "giftie box".
Beanie No 7 was also finished off during the week as I sat outside in the lovely winter sunshine.
A few months ago I promised a friend who was admiring my snap top glasses case that I would make her one for her phone. After holding the phone against the glasses case it was decided to make her one 1/2" bigger all round. Seeing that she is known as the "cat lady'' I hope that she will like the fabric that was chosen on her behalf. Looking at the new case me thinks that I now need a new one as mine is looking a bit shabby next to it.
I will be meeting her on Friday for lunch when it will be handed over.
Back soon and in the meantime
Happy
sewing all

I am with you and the snipping 😁. Lovely present for your friend and the oven mit is great.
Great presents the oven mit looks lovely. I agree about all the snipping on the bibs.
Your friend will love her glasses case. It's a puuuuurrrrrfect gift for a cat loving lady :)
Ooooo the glasses cases are so lovely and I do particilarly love the cat fabric. Another lovely beanie and good luck with the bibs.
Snipping is boring and hard on the fingers too...
Lovely glasses case for the cat loving friend...
I only ever made one rag quilt and that was enough snipping for me! Good idea to have a gift box, oven mitt looks great.
I did a couple of rag quilts but I bought the special scissors which have a spring back. If I remember they weren't very expensive and made a huge difference. May be worth looking at if you think there will be more bibs in your future. Love the new mitts and the snap cases... I must try your method soon. Cute beanie....
