June progress report!

Just thought I would pop in and do a show and tell of where I'm up to.
Also, my daughter doesn't have sleep apnoea, she has Lyme with co infections. I côuld keep writing about the lousy Drs who through their own ignorance let her disease progress to this point, but I won't lol, ;)
Ok! Back to the sewing!
I couldn't wait to start these blocks. There's something about the little squares and the circular applique,so yummy!


I have one down, and the other is ready to stitch together. I didn't use the template for the circle, I just used the template I had for the buttonhole border. It works out a smidge bigger, giving you more of the square fabrics showing, instead of cutting them off altogether.

That's it!
I'm outta here, off to start the rest of the blocks.
Hope your all stitching and enjoying every second.

Hi Kel. ALl the best to you & your daughter - hopefully having a diagnosis helps in some ways... Your square circles do look great - I've decided to omit them but I am liking the ones that have been posted.

no nothing about your daughters illness but I am sure it is better knowing then not knowing what you working with.........

Thankyou ladies, it is better knowing, some normalcy has resumed, just from knowing. Things will get better all in good time. Life's a journey that's for sure. Glad I have you gals to share the ride.
