There are now 22 of the 25 plates done. They go together in a blink — with continuous stitching around the centres they’re super quick blocks to put together. Stitching these together is about all I’m capable of doing right now. Three left to do and then I’ll press them all and start putting the rows together.

With all those blocks made I can assume you are feeling top top? Hugs! Oh yes…here for the kitties too!

I always have a hard time deciding what to do with the Asian fabrics and I think your pattern is perfect for them.

It just amazes me that you've gotten so much done. When I'm sick I only want to lie around and vegetate. I hope you get to feeling better soon!

I've never seen China Plates before; I like them!My reason for dropping by is to tell you that it warmed my heart to read Kaye's post about your generous kindness to her. It was just plain nice of you! I loved reading about how you blessed her. Heck, it gave me such warm fuzzies that you would think you gave the sewing machine to me!Thank you for being so nice! Quilters stitch seams of love everywhere they go!
