Bits and pieces

I've just been working on a few different projects. My September nine patches are finished, I'm looking forward to seeing them all together before too long.

Playing with teeny tiny pieces of fabric for Irish Circles. The centre circles are sewn together, and now I am making the small appliqué shapes for the ring and centre corners.

I couldn't resist the community project that Sharon from Lilabelle Lane is working on. It's a beautiful variation of an Ispy quilt, for a little fellow called Blake. These are the novelty blocks I'm sending.

My wonderful in laws are visiting for the weekend, and we are enjoying a glorious Fathers Day and first day of Spring together. After a scrumptious lunch the only decision is whether to nap or sew......

  3. your irish circle block is amazing. Can't imagine a whole quilt of these circles, incredible.
    very cute little 'snapshots' to send to Sharon and love your fabrics for your latest 9 patch blocks.
    perhaps a cat nap and then some stitching? Enjoy the rest of your day with family!

  8. The Irish Circle is coming along beautifully! It's easy to see that you are enjoying this project. I think little Blake is going reward everyone with a wide smile when he receives his "I Spy" quilt. How wonderful of you to contribute to his happiness!
