Sewing and a Birthday

This before photo of my poor old footstool has been waiting patiently for me to give it new life and I finally did... ..

After and I'm soooo pleased with the outcome......

A nice piping edge even if I do say so myself..   

My circle blocks have taken a back seat for a little while so a mad dash to catch up.....

Another 8 done and dusted..   

Feeling satisfied at the moment on the sewing front......
