My Beautiful LE has come to a stand still again as I’m not happy with my latest oak leaf???? SO it is has just been sitting this last week.
My day has started with bread cooking, lime and sugar syrup been boiled up for the coming very hot days , I have just pressed 4 circles I made at 1.30am this morning LOL and have cut out another 10 circles.
These are some of the circles I have cut out of my taupe japans kimono, not many of them are completed I try and have at least one completely appliquéd a day, I just choose one to complete that takes my fancy. I started making them about a month ago after seeing Karens lovely fossil fern ones. Back ground fabric is a kimono that I’m unpicking as I go. I will be unpicking some more this morning.
I just love making up circles all ways have done no not matter how big or how small they are. When I taught sample quilts there were always rings of circles, then recently I was making lots of extra cherries for my LE centre very tiny ones. Even tinter ones for the oval shapes!. Now I have the quilty365 bug that was started by Audrey in Nov. I first saw these circles been made by Karenhttp://karensquilting.com/blog/she is making hers in fossil fern fabrics and I feel in love with what I thought was a new quilt by her but when I read in more detail she tells you about linking up with Audrey making these circles. If you want to know more just type in quilty365 and you will find out more, I’m sure having fun making mine You can see what I’ve been up to during the week on my blog making my circles.
My first few circles. Using only Japanese fabrics
4 circles on background squares I made in the middle of the night over a cup of tea as I could not sleep very unusual but what I way to not be able to sleep making circles and a cup of tea LOL Circles lying on the purple fabric I have just cut out this morning. Pile of wee squares on the right front need to be appliquéd on to the blocks. left pile need to have a running stitch around the edges to pull over freezer paper and then press to be ready for the next stage which is to be appliquéd on to the squares.
In the garden this week and today.

Rather large spider?????
These fellows are flying around the place at night time by the dozen so I’m glad we have fly-screens but they still manage to fly in one land right in the middle of my chest two nights ago they have lots of hooks on their legs so not easy to just pluck off LOL.
Tiny ground flowers so sweet and old fashion, they are a local ground plant.
Found this tiny beautiful beetle floating in the pool this morning, I rescued him and when he dried out he flew away!
The old boy who has spent the last 2 week making a Turkeys nest. See it piled up behind him.
Stick insects a whole family has moved on to a small fruit tree. The branch in the middle is NOT a branch but a stick insect??????
