I feel like I have my life back. I’ve been semi-productive and it’s nice to have some time to myself again.
Here is my bright simple quilt done with my favourite Circle Lord Swirls.
While Ben managed to stay out of this picture, I noticed his tuggy didn’t!
I love striped bias binding and decided to put stripes on the back too.
The colours look way off on the stripes, but you get the idea. Here’s a close-up of the binding.
On Saturday I took a workshop on circular appliqué and I’m really pleased with my results.
It’s about 16” x 16” and you quilt it as you appliqué – with a straight stitch.
I really enjoyed doing this and can see more of them in my future. We also got the pattern for a miniature Wedding Ring so that’s what I’m trying next.
I’m off tomorrow to a Shop Hop in the Niagara Peninsula. There are only three stores, but they usually have nice patterns as a give-a-way.

They're wonderful Irene!
Very clever! I did one of those quilts the old-fashioned way (templates, piecing) and it was a real booger!
Oh, and congratulations on feeling like you have your life back! I know how that is! High five!
Both quilts look wonderful - the applique one also looks like an interesting technique although I'm not usually a fan of doing much applique myself.
