Someone when looking at this said get your sun glasses LOL – I must admit these are much wilder more colorful fabric then I have used in sometime. And I love it. I got started cutting the white fabric yesterday and got one strip of them cut – this is four layers of the fabric […]
read moreWell ..... here is my circle quilt finished and ready for displaying along with my other red/neutral quilts for Canada Day (July 1). I do like the diagonal effect you see when looking at this quilt. It wasn't planned, but happy it turned out this way.
Source: No pattern .... I just like making circle quilts! If you ...
read moreYeah me! I'm so pleased to have this top done. Do you like my ombre look border? I love it, but it was a bit of a pain to do. Those strips of fabrics were moved around again and again and sewn, ripped undone and resewn countless times. It was so worth it in the end .... but ..... and I will leave it at that! LOL
I still am not done appliqueing the circles onto some of the neutral square fabrics ..... but couldn't wait and just had to start sewing some of the nine patch blocks together to test out my border idea. This project is coming together quite nicely!
Cherish your day, cherish your life!
My circles top has made much progress. It will be a wall hanging, so .... it shouldn't take too long to complete this ..... so says the woman who gets distracted by squirrels! LOL
Yes, I did it ..... started another project. You would think that squirrels hibernate during winter ..... but no, they do not and they stopped by and had a few chats with me! LOL
It all started with cleaning out some piles of fabrics and papers and that is when I saw this pattern and knew that it just had to be made.
What got me started on this squirrel was a need for a couple more small wall quilts to go with my February red/neutral quilts. My bins of red fabrics and my neutral/red fabrics were a tad overflowing ...
read moreI have one more piece left to quilt, and it’s a doozy quilting-wise. I am enamored of circles and can get carried away when I put them on quilts, not remembering that I will have to quilt them. Of course, that’s not a problem if I take the easy path of straight line quilting.
For “Happy Accidents” I decided to feature circles in the quilting, so easy isn’t likely. It measures 29 by 45 inches,which sounds quite doable until you shove the quilt around 360 degrees a few times. And I plan to emphasize some curves ...
read moreI just couldn't think up a better name, so "Dotty Dots" it is. After seeing my friend, Darlene make a circle quilt, it inspired me to make one too.
Since it is National Pi Day .... this is the perfect quilt to show. Lots and lots of circles. So why pi and circles? Because pi is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter and now you know why there are lots of quilts with circles being shown today. To celebrate, we will have meat pie (tourtiere) and a salad for supper tonight and perhaps a round cookie ...

Odd title, isn't that? Anyway, my circles are now a top! It is a small lap: 44" x 62"
A few more rows have been done on my circle top. The bottom section is done, but not sewn together yet. There may be some moving around after all the circles are sewn. Also, a few more pieces were added to the borders. This project will see me to the end of cottage season.
Our area experienced a bad storm on Tuesday this week. What do you do when the electricity flickers on/off and then goes out for about 3 hrs. and all you have is the natural light from the window to see? Well ..... applique, why not! That is exactly what I did.
My sister and I were recently at our family cottage for a few days. The weather had warmed up a tad and the rain finally stopped allowing us to take a trip out. We are extremely grateful for the rain because our area has been quite dry and we were fearful of some forest fires breaking out.
While out there, the hummingbirds kept us entertained by the hour. You can just barely see a tail on the left hand side of the feeder. They come and go so quickly. We have two feeders hanging off our screened in porch and ...
read moreHi everyone! How are you all doing today? I am happy to say that this past weekend was one of the best weekends ever, as we got to go to visit our Wisconsin grandchildren for the first time in 15 months, and to meet our smallest granddaughter for the first time ever. I'm happy to say that Giggles is just the happiest child, and is so cheerful that it's contagious. It was glorious, and so long awaited. I think my heart grew several sizes. Also, restaurants are now called "the french fry store," which is what the 3-year-old ...
