June OMG Finish

I set out to learn how to do the Karen K Buckely's Perfect Circles 

and complete these 4 blocks for the 1857 Album quilt-a-long.

 These ones weren't too hard once I found the missing circle. 

For some strange reason it ended up in the middle of the Dear Jane 2 box. 

Good thing I pulled out the completed blocks to put up on to the empty design all. 

 These circles are small and smaller. 

Since there were only 4 of one and 3 of the other sizes,
I made 7 circles at a time using 7 needles and waiting for them to dry before stitching them down. 

Then I made more until I had enough. Then unstitched them and re positioned and re stitched.

 The circle looks more round now. The bird will need some feet.

Between little boy grand children visiting and babysitting little girls, driving tractors, breaking a tooth and having it pulled and catching a throat thing from one of those little girls, I did not get too much stitching done this month. AND, my publisher finally sent the proofs for my book Denine: One mother's journey with a profoundly handicapped child and now I am in the first revision round. I have no less than 5 areas to address, including a larger font and the dedication. AND, did I mention my daughter and her family are moving back to Ontario in September???? Those little boy grand children will be a mere 3 hour drive away instead of a 3 hour flight. Bring on the summer!!

Blessings,
Chris
