Magic Circle (?) Templates by joan8904 in Bellevue Nebraska
I've been accumulating fabric (pale blue and pale yellow batiks) for a Robbing Peter to Pay Paul quilt. I want to do the 'easier' technic of stitching two circles together, turning them and sewing them together into a square. A version was in a fairly recent Fons and Porter magazine. I know...

Small happy dance by Sandy

House sale, please keep fingers crossed by Marigold
We just accepted a conditional offer on our house today, so I'm hoping that the new place will have room for my hobbies! I must say that I am rather stressed about the whole move idea as we have put in 3 different offers in the last couple of months and they have all fallen apart. If all goes...
