I purchased this book for Mother's Day.
Finally had the time to try the Lotus Circle Motif.
It came out larger than expected, but love it.

Duck Eggs
Whistling Black Bellied Ducks usually lay eggs in
hollowed trees. They lay about 13 eggs.
The first day my neighbor counted 15.
Last count was 28 eggs.
Googled this (again) and read that numerous ducks will use the same hollowed tree.I haven't check lately, as I almost fell off the roof the last time I took photos. Just as I peeked into to hole,
the mama duck flew out straight towards my face.
Making Felt Flowers.
Here are the pretty felt flowers I made.
First I cut out templates, but punched tiny holes to easily
pin to fabric. Saves my fingers.
Roll the strip and secure with a pin.
Place center on smaller petal and sew.
Place center and first petals onto the larger petals and sew.
All the pretty flowers I've made so far.

Sewing Machine Tip
Use a "Can of Compressed Air" to clean out all the fuzz and pieces of thread in the bobbin carriage. Sold for use with cleaning out computers.
Crafting Tip
Always using a hot glue gun, and always wondering if you unplugged it?? Well, it's easier if you put red-electrical tape around the plug. Before you leave the room, a quick glance at the outlet will let you know.
Sewing Tip
Sewing tip: Always use the correct bobbin recommended for your sewing machine. Yes, it matters. Do not switch to plastic cause you like them. This just causes problems. If metal is recommended, use them. And use the correct size too!! I learned from my mistake. My quilting instructor ROCKS!!
