A long walk home

For one of my online groups the theme was 'A long walk home'. I took me some time to find an idea fitting for this theme, but during one of those sleepless nights I found it. Remember MASH? In the centre of their camp they had a sign post with the names of cities which were important to them. This is my interpretation for this theme:

Background fabric is a drop cloth, all the other fabrics used are my own hand dyed ones.

Spring

It is still a bit chilly here (around 50 degrees F), but the blossom trees are in full spring glory:

Thanks for the suggestions. For this one I will go with Dancing Circles. The other suggestion - Ripples - I will keep for another circle quilt. No doubt there will be many more in this series :-)

Embroidered circles

And this is how the embroidery turned out:

To be honest, not an improvement. So while I was watching a movie, I ripped the embroidery stitches out. That means that the quilt is now completed. Only I have to find a title. I am not in favor of numbering my circle quilts, but I have to say, it is easier than coming up with titles :-). Any suggestions?

Circles

Katrien delayed my quilting, but finally I completed it. This is how my latest circle quilt looks like now:

I intend to do some more hand stitching on it, so that the brown circles stand out a bit more.

trying to quilt

I am trying to quilt on this new piece, but Katrien - one of my cats - insists that she wants to sleep on the quilt at the same time. She is not getting the quiet rest she wants, so she sweeps her tail all the time. You can guess, my speed is practically nil. So far I managed not to stitch the tail :-).

New circles

Finally I was able to comple a quilt this week. It is another one in my circle series. This one I called 'Random Circles' and I used a mixture of commercial and hand dyed fabrics for it.

Size is 12"x24". The circles are hand drawn, which explains why they are not exactly round :-). Now back to making more samples for the Fire blog.
