Not much happening....

A busy work week and a birthday weekend (not mine) have resulted in not much sewing happening last week.


I did get a few bits done on a pillow I am making early last week but its still a work in progress!


I decided that tonight was the night to get my dresden circle sewn! So I set to it after work tonight and so far I am quite pleased with the results. I can guarantee that the seams will not all be an accurate 1/4" seam however its in the shape of a circle so thats a good start!


See I set myself such high standards... making sure a circle is a reasonable circle shape and everything ;) Dresden Circle :-)


Lynne has just posted the instructions for piecing the middle... think I will have to hunt out a compass to redraw my inner circle first though as my inner circle measured 6" I think rather than the 7" on Lynne's.


I am enjoying seeing everyone elses amazing circles popping up in the flickr group though!


So heres hoping that more sewing gets completed this week! :)

  1. Really pretty colors. I am eager to see your circle middle and background choices.

  2. Love the heathery colours of this one. My circle is not 7" either, but I think that's the least of my problems, having seen the instructions for sewing in the centre!
