total circles

I wrote this post a couple of days ago,

but Blogger crashed very nicely (!)

and has erased everything written since Wednesday.

I guess that is why we should do back up....

All right, moving on,

this is the project I made for my Mom

with all my circles!

a sewing machine cover.

I was inspired by a quilt seen at

http://www.purlbee.com/mini-quilt-circular-applique/

I basically followed their directions,

I just changed the sizes of the circles

since my "quilt" is a little smaller.

I hand appliqued the circles

but machine quilted around them,

I also did it before putting the back,

skipping the need for binding.

I attached ribbons at 5 inch from the tops

and bottoms, before sewing the back.

All the circles are Liberty of London fabrics, all different,

the background is a off-white sateen cotton.

I hope my Mom like it

and if she does not, she can always use

it as a table runner!

Happy sewing!
