Circle throw

Disclaimer. I don't know what I'm doing but don't care.

Traced my pattern on the paper side of  iron on appli-kay wonder. Ironed to fabric and cut out circles. Peeled  and ironed to flannel block. Cut cotton batting to make a sandwich.

Went crazy trying to secure every last edge on my circles. After three blocks I realized I would never have enough thread to keep that nonsense up so I switched to a straight stitch for a raw edge block.

As usual I had several ideas for this quilt and didn't really decide until after I had started cutting and sewing. Soooo. We shall see how it works out. 

It has turned into a throw because I don't know what I was thinking when I planned a king. Making a couple a throws instead and ordered new quilts for the bed.

Can't even explain how this works but you can go to you tube and watch quilt as you go videos.

Almost done.

new quilt!

Miss Lucy approved the fabric for the new quilt I'm going to make. She loves to find the tallest pile of soft and lay down on it!

I got my mosaic section of the studio laid out by the fireplace. It was everything I could do to stop myself from going to town on that ugly tile around the pellet stove but need to do some planning first. With Elvis there it turned into a little altar. I love it. When the sun hits the glass beads it is magical. John is going to help me out with that project.

I really need to get the unpacking finished so I can spend the winter on projects! I have SO many plans already. Lace the windows in the bathrooms with corn starch, mosaic the brick sidewalk, make a quilt, make something with all the scarfs and lace and hankies I've collected over the last 15 years. I could go on and on.

It was really exciting to get to pick out fabrics at Marden's today! I was shopping for furniture but when I found the bottom two pieces of 108" wide fabric with the perfect colors for backing the fun began! I haven't gone through my stash but am sure I have more to go with! I didn't have a picture of the rug but I remembered all the colors.

You cannot tell in the photos but most every other row is metallic gold thread.  Looks really pretty in person because there is a gold thread running through the material. 

Here a shot with the Yorkie stairs.  I bought these at big lots years ago.  Wish I would have bought more.  They have been on the patio, porch and now using them in the bedroom.
