Circles and Flowers

The Circle Game is still going. But is very close to being done - the top at least. I am working on the final border of semi-circles. It will be done by Christmas!


And because I like hand-sewing, I recently purchased this book from Book Depository.


I am not into piecing bits of cake or boats or make up, but I do like flowers. And there are several pages of flower patterns. While they have the potential to be very old-school sampler-ish, I think the fabrics used in these pics make them much more modern, very pretty and very cool. 



I might have a go at some of these in the up-coming Christmas/summer hols.

  4. Really looking forward to seeing your finished quilt.. such a lot of hand sewing.. all year! (and, unlike me, you don't seem to have drifted off track or given up!) Yes, I agree the flowers are beautiful, and, as with alot of 'modern' ideas, it's the fabric choice that will make it here! Linda
