    Finally some progress

    In preparation for Christmas I set aside packed away my circles quilt and promptly forgot about it. Outta sight, outta mind.

    I broke out the sewing machine and iron this morning and got back to work. It’s really coming together quickly now. I was very surprised when I laid all the pieces out on the living room floor that I was only 8 circles short. Easy peasy to whip those up.

    Hopefully I’ll have a completed quilt to show by weeks end!

    Braided fabric bowl



    Funny story about this bowl…it started out life as a rug.
    What I mean is, I was trying to make a braided rug but somehow it started curling upward as I stitched the braids together. Instead of pulling it all out and starting over I punted and made a bowl. I really like the look of it. I may try to starch it so it has more stability or I’ll just choose what I store in it very wisely.

    I forgot to mention that a good share of the strips of fabric are from my dad’s old button down shirts. They were so worn that the only thing they were worth was rags…or a rug gone wrong. 🙂
