Playing with circles...

On my Twitter account last night I mentioned that Jan and I were playing with something new yesterday and I would try and get a picture. Well, it's definitely a work in progress, but here it is! It's a pattern we've had for a while called "Pearl District" by Busy Bee Quilt Design. I might have mentioned that we were trying to think of as many Valentine projects as we could - ones we could actually get done in a reasonable amount of time (like before Valentine's Day!) We have this Valentine charm pack, plus some other "leftovers" from our previous projects and decided to try the pattern out. Today Jan and I waited on customers and made circles in between times. While Izzie was rolling Fat Tuesday FQ's, we tried to get it in some sort of order that looked random - why does that take so much planning and moving? Whew! Finally we just said get the Roxanne's Glue and baste them down! So, I got them sewn to the backgrounds and started to put them together. We didn't make ours as long as the pattern - 62" seemed longer than most of us might want (plus it added to the probability that we could actually finish it!) They didn't use ric rac....and that border is just a leftover strip we had, so it's not a for sure. Planning on fiddling around some more tomorrow with it after my sales rep leaves.

So, that was our fun today! Hope your day was equally enjoyable. Last night was our first KT Klub meeting and Tracey did her usual fantastic job of teaching and inspiring us with some great blocks for a sampler quilt. FYI, she's scheduled her class on the Victoria Bag and Applique the Tracey Way. Check it out on the website.

Just heard the washing machine click off, so off to throw clothes in the dryer and maybe make a couple of Log Cabin blocks while I'm waiting for it all to dry....I WILL finish this abandoned project! Have a great evening.
