Quilty 365

I saw this a few weeks ago and have been having a think about whether to take part or not but the urge to fill the gap of my year long project which ended last month has taken over and so onto this challenge which involves making a block with a circle to represent each day of the year.   I have drawers full of novelty fabrics which I am sure I can put to good use to describe each day.     Most of the others taking part in Quilty 365 have a good head start but with the aid of my diary, blog and I will have to see just how good my memory is to fill in those blanks I hope to catch up soon - maybe.   I have made a start on cutting out some squares of background fabric and some circles which can be seen below.

My squares will end up being 4" square when finished and I have used a 3" template to cut the circles.   I will use the zig zag stitch on my machine to sew the circles onto the background fabric.

So for this week I have not done anything - which is not a very good start - but we do have our little granddaughter staying with us for a few days and we have been keeping her rather busy or should I say she has been keeping us rather busy.     Lots of visits to the beach

Playing in the park

Feeding chickens at the local petting zoo

Checking out the penguins at the sea life park as well as the other marine creatures to be found.

Miss M is going home later on today so I will make a start on my circles tomorrow amongst other things.

Back soon with some progress photos and in the meantime

Happy sewing all
