You've made a lot of progress....not so much to go now....keep it up....
Jenny I'd say your circles are looked pretty good! I'm using LA's applique paper too and her tools. They are magical aren't they?! You are making good progress, Happy Stitching!
I enjoyed seeing your tools and work place...you're coming right along and I'm sure you won't miss the deadline by much..Its still March here in the USA....

Your going well Jenny!..hope your affair with the red pen is over for the holidays!!
Im using the Lynette A method too.
Try running a gathering thread around the circle and pull it in gently to the paper.. like doing a suffork puff.. and press… this way you don't have to clip the curve…better still are the Karen Kay Buckley's Perfect Circle templates… they make circles soooo easy!!
