One project moving forward and one stalled

My "Sixty five days to 65" project is moving right along and I'm really enjoying working on each piece. I start each one with a general idea of what I'm going to do and so far none of them have turned out like my original idea. Each one has been turning into it's own little composition, I'm just going with the flow. This is how the first seven look together, when I post them individually they all look the same size, as you can see, they aren't.



This is the start of today's.



My gigantic circle project is temporarily on hold - my sewing machine decided it was tired of what I was doing and is making some very disturbing noises. The noise started at 4:30 on Sat. afternoon, my repair guy is 1 1/2 hours away and works 10 -5 Tue - Sat. So tomorrow I'll take it in to Boise and hope that he can get it fixed soon. I have the background almost three quarters done, but it will just have to sit and wait till the machine is better.
