Progress is being made! Now that my UFOs are almost caught up I am working on one thing until it is done and I am enjoying it. I know that most people put a solid color in the center, but I am burned out on solids and I don't care for them all that much. I like the strawberries.

 I got this circle cutter at Joann's and I am using wallpaper samples for foundation papers. It's not really good and tends to skip part of the circle so I have to go around twice and make sure it gets all of the circle cut. It works so I am not complaining.

 I use an ordinary glue stick, the kids always have them.

 Glue down all the edges and

 press them. Both sides.

 After the glue is dry I take the piece of wallpaper out,

and then iron them again on the same line of creasing. It makes a wonderfully crisp edge. I am centering them on the "plates" and blanket stitching them down on Brunehilde the Viking. They don't take long and I am thinking I can finish them tomorrow morning, but maybe not because I have class at one.

My camera gets a little blurry this close, but you can see the stitching. If I were doing this again I would make the stitch wider to show up better, but this is OK too.

Down here in the basement doing my hand sewing I am starting to put together my last, at least for a while, hexagon top. The blocks are all done, but I will need to make more of the the green joining hexagons. I have now completed the first ring of hexagon blocks and have started adding the next row of star blocks. It's going quite fast. I am getting a little burned out on hexagons though and will be glad when it is finished.

The kitten is down here on my bed, probably hiding from the boys, they have been very rambunctious this morning. We are going camping over the weekend and they are excited.

I am planning to start threading the heddles on the loom this week on Thursday, I have been busy these last couple of days and haven't had time, but I will get started soon.

My sister is sending me a big box of wool for spinning, I can't wait, more on it after it gets here, soon I hope!
