Frosty leaves and icy branches for this week......I'm not leaving the house until it gets above freezing, which might be this afternoon. Making circles has been entertaining. I like making them and then finding a good match for the background. High contrast for some and very muted for others.
I realized how poor my selection of greens is.....a lot of solids and a few ugly ones, too. So I decided to straighten up the bin of black and white fabrics. At the bottom of the bin I found a small scrap of fabric that had to become a circle.
It makes me smile.
I'm a couple of days behind on the bow ties blocks.....but here's my collection so far. I need to spend a bit of time cutting up some more pieces. I am just pinning them up as I go and will figure out the design when I have a bigger selection.
One Habitat quilt is bound and the second needs to be quilted....today's task is to get the backing pieced. I got side-tracked this week on the annual tax prep.....ugh! So I haven't gotten far on anything. Just a slow week.
Your first batch of circles match this week's weather perfectly! And Betty Boop - too much! We're in a deep freeze up here, not going to see 32 for about 5 days, in fact Saturday's high is predicated at 1 degree. The bowtie blocks are lovely, I so love that block. Tax work this week also, an ugly thing this year for sure with hubby retiring after the first of the year. We shall persevere.
ReplyDeleteYour top circle is made of beautiful fabric, love the colours. I'm going to be watching these bow ties - what a great idea to colour wash.
ReplyDeleteWe had a high in the 80s today. Maybe you'll get some warmer weather soon. I love the stories behind your circles.
ReplyDeleteTaxes can ruin a lovely day, can't they?
ReplyDeleteYour circles are very fun. : )
Your circles look great, I love the Betty Boop. Your bow ties are really coming together, I can see the color wash happening so, of course, it will be beautiful. We have another cold front coming through next week, so get out while you can. Crazy week here, I'd like a slow week please.
ReplyDeleteFabulous circles some great fabrics there!
