It's all about circles today

I've been enjoying a slow start to my day.

The morning started out with stitching two more circles for the border of my HappyDays quilt...




Then I replaced the very centre circle of the block that is to be the very centre of my Midnight at the Oasis quilt.

 My original attempt at this was done in extremely poor lighting and didn't turn out nicely. If the block were to be for some random spot in the quilt, I wouldn't have bothered re-doing it, but as it is for the centre block I wanted to fix it....



It's better now, so I am ready to piece it in next time I sit down to enjoy some slow stitching....although I did have to sew the block to one section just to see how it was going to look/fit...


I love it! Wish I could just sit with this all day but painting the guest room is on the list of things that must be done today....and hopefully a bit of sewing time on my #100days100blocks, as my goal is to have it the top pieced by mid-month.

I am linking up with Kathy for some Slow Sunday Stitching and Cynthia for OhScrap!.

    You are so self disciplined... I'm be tempted to procrastinate that room painting all day long ;)

  2. Enjoy your painting. It is always so nice to have everything fresh and clean. Hopefully you will be able to finish it quickly and get back to your hand stitching

    I'm really looking forward to watching you make Midnight at the Oasis. I'm already impressed, and you haven't even finished the center!
