I entered a fitness competition and did my first 'test' today. And did way better than I expected, so was thrilled about that.
Then off to inlaws for a birthday cake. Had supper made for me... then parents over for another cake. Lots of goodies and fun today.
Onto quilting, I have a wonderful list of tutorials I am soon going to get started with, thanks to all of you for taking the time to comment. Beading and crayon use on fabric were the two big favourites.
In the meantime, I have been doing a bit of quilting on some items I put in a little store here in my town.
So occasionally if I don't have an art piece to show you, I will pop in one of these little numbers.
Now you may ask why I just couldn't go with the lovely traditional pinwheel block for this cute table runner? After all the fabrics are delicious. But I couldn't stop there, I just had to drop in a few circles. I am on a real circle kick these days. It is crazy, but I love them.
What do you think? Did I go over the top? Should I have stopped with the pinwheel block? Or are you loving the circles?

Loving the circles! I especially like that the circles vary in size, are interestingly arranged, and even "falling off the edge."
