Sadly not much to show this week even though I have been doing a lot of sewing.
My next lot of 90 365Quilty Circles started, when I finish these I will have completed making the 365 circles, I have been playing with these most nights this week I do love making them, back ground is a lovely silk and the circles are all Japanese fabrics mostly silks.
I have been working on my LE border also , it is very very slow but Im close to finishing appliquéing these leaves down at last, the silk is so thick Im blunting the needles so far I have gone through 4 size 11 needles.
My last leaves ready to be appliquéd on, these will take me several nights this week to do it is slow but I enjoy every stitch I make.
close up of where I started on this border, I do like the wee touch of blue in the wee flowers and they are small.
I managed to finish appliqué the wee faces now to machine zig zag around the last two lamb bodies.
I have unpicked two of the borders that were machine sewn and hand sewn then then added sashiko down the centre of the border to help keep the wadding in place when it will be washed. There are 2 layers of wadding here so I have to make one stitch at the time. Bottom border is finished now have to unpick that top one, I have two more borders to do. I hate unpicking but it looks so much better.
You can see more clearly here were I have unpicked and redone it by hand. Top border still has the machine stitching and no sashiko quilting down the centre.
Well thats my sewing for this week nothing exciting and the garden is the same nothing new to show you.
My crystallise is still there and I have moved it inside to the veranda for extra protection as Im thinking it will come out soon.
I check every night now as it is over two weeks but he’s still in there.
A paddock of small Kangaroos down near the beach this Avo.
Went for a walk along the beach this Avo, it was wonderful this is looking North I walked that way. .
Looking South. Temperature was around 25C just perfect.
Thank you for visiting and I hope you all find time to sew this week, I know many of you up in the Northern hemisphere are very busy in your gardens now and farms.
Off to link with Esther and hope to visit many of you there.

you might not think you get done with a lot but I think you do. Every time you take out your Love Entwined I remember mine and it reminds I still need to get back to it one day! One day I will.
Yes it is very hot here right now and humid too which can just wipe you out, the heat combined with humidity just makes you move slower I think. I have barely been outside this past week to see what the garden is doing. I can see it from the window though and I did go out to get a red pepper that I saw from the window the other day and a couple tomatoes.
Love seeing your kangaroos – but I hear a lot feel they are a pest that multiply too quickly!
Your LE is looking gorgeous love those pinks, and all those circles I have put mine away for now will get to them one day LOL.
I always enjoy visiting your blog.. The beach is just so tranquil.
Hugs
Dear Glenda
Your LE is looking beautiful, love the pop of colour with the blue. I have been playing with the same flowers this past week, as I have been preparing bits to take with me on a trip. Cannot wait to finish the centre, so I can start with the next round!
Your work is lovely from the japanese silk 365 circles to the touches of blue on the love entwined border. You do lovely work!
Hi Glenda, always amazes me how much you fit into a week, your LE border is looking wonderful. I love how the pinks on pink look and your touch of blue is the perfect lift.
The beach looks so inviting, must be great to have it nearly on your doorstep.
Hugs Jenny
