More Rings...

 I finally got some good sewing time in today and it felt good.  I started with some of these...

 and turned them into these...

 I took a little break and then sewed these...

 into these...

 those turned into these...

 then the last step before the final trim...

 after the final trim...

 Here is what I have finished at this point.  I do have more ready to piece tomorrow.  I probably will not get to sew as much tomorrow as I did today. 

 The pattern calls for it to be 3 rings wide and 4 long, but mom keeps trying to get me to make it 4 wide and 5 long.  I told her that I would have to wait and see what mood I was in once I got the 12 rings finished.  :)

 Okay...one last photo!  LOL! 

 Hopefully I'll have more progress to show you tomorrow.

More sewing progress...

Just a quick little post to show you my progress!  I'm slow but who needs to hurry anyway?  :) 

I have ALL of my arcs cut, now I just have to cut the background pieces and corner triangles.  I've had a few ask about the pattern and ruler, it is from Sew Kind Of Wonderful.

Not sure if I will get to work on it much more this weekend.  Mom's job is having a "family fun day" at a little amusement park Saturday and then I have church on Sunday so that gives little time for sewing.  

Thanks for all of the nice comments about Richard's new job!  He had orientation for 6.5 hours yesterday and starts his actual shifts on Monday.  :)

Blessings and Wedding Rings...

 Blessings...

I'm feeling mighty Blessed right now!  Hubby landed a NURSING JOB!!!!!  :)  If you have followed my blog for a while then you know how hard he worked for this.  Today was his first day, which was just orientation.  He just got home and you can't wipe that smile from his face.  He is so pleased.  Of course, he will get paid for today but he starts his floor work on Monday at 7am!  :)  I can't tell you how long and hard we have prayed for this and I just want to thank God for it all. 

 Oh, the vine above is one that Leo broke a piece off of my big one so I just planted it and put it on my kitchen counter.  Anyway...

Wedding Rings...

Or should I say, Metro Rings?  I have all of my strip sets sewn together but not all of the arcs cut from them.  I went ahead and pieced a couple of blocks so I could see how it was going to go together or if I was going to have trouble with it. 

 Both photos show the same blocks.  At first, I couldn't get it trimmed to the correct size and I had to walk away from it but it wasn't the pattern it was just ME.  Later I went back to it and it was fine.  Ever done that? 

 I think this will be the only blocks that I piece completely right now until I get all of the other steps finished.  So far, I LOVE IT!!!
