7th Jan 2016 Wishing you ALL a wonderful sewing year for 2016.
Out second link up where did Dec go to LOL.
For me Quilty365 came at a very good time I was not feeling well and could not concentrate on my appliqué projects which I love, so these simple wee blocks mean I can still appliqué them on and not think just sew. This is where I’m at now plus a pile of squares competed ready to trimmed to 4 1/2 . Next part is to unpick more of the Kimono I’m using for my background fabric and cut up more squares. I started after seeing Karens Quilty365 on her designer wall in Nov (Not Knowing they were Quilty365’s) and fell in love with them. Decided to make my own then read more about her blog and realised she was linking up with Audrey and so decided to join in too; Sooooo a BIG thanks from me Audrey and Karen.
I’m still on track with my circles as far as making them but way behind where I would like to be with sewing them together. I was hopping to have these first 40 blocks sewn together by the end of 2015 but did not quiet make it. I’m very very happy how they are just blending in together.
I have started sewing my wee blocks in to 4 blocks
I’ Then in to 8 blocks and then 16blocks and finally I join these and I will finish with a strip of 40 blocks.
I know this is meant to be one a day challenge but in my life that is impossible as there are months when I am not able to even pick up a needle so this hopefully will work for me and I will complete my quilty365’s by Nov this year.
I do pick up my fabric randomly to make my circles out of my silk piles as I don’t have scrappy bin for these, not sure why but I just keep my silk scraps with my other silk fabrics. may be I should start a silk scrappy bin ?????
Orange and red Kimono fabrics
These are some of the circles I had made by Dec here I’m adding my orange silks and I’m starting to think am I making a mistake not staying with just the blues?????? BUT it is working now that they are amongst so many other squares and to be honest I want to use all my Japanese fabrics not do repeats. This is to show Japanese antique fabrics in just one quilt.
My first few circles. Using only Japanese fabrics scraps left over from Kimono’s I have always loved there fabrics and collected them for years and it is wonderful to be using them many are tiny scraps and to see them been given another life is wonderful.
4 circles on background squares This is where I started.
This is my Love Entwine quilt centre that I can not work on at present and the lovely tiny Quilty365 are keeping me sane LOL
In my garden New Years day he and his mate came back to nest in their nest from last nesting. What a lovely way to start the New Year,
Yes can I help you she seams to be saying. This was on the 3rd of Jan and she has been filling the inside with tiny feathers and cobweb, she is actually wriggling her bottom to make the shape before she lays her eggs. She does most of the work at this stage he is NOT allowed in the nest LOL.
Plant life is very exotic where I live this has been blooming for 3 months now.
One of our biggest tree frogs they are so beautiful .
Crazy exotic.
Playing with colour art, I loved colouring in as a child and enjoy it just as much now after 40 years or more of not doing it LOL It is helping me also just now.
Happy circling every one Cheers Glenda
