My dear friend Sharon Sikes died a year ago.
When her husband was taking apart the house he asked if I wanted anything.
I asked for this little ruby dish he quickly located next to her sewing machine.
A decade ago I wrote about her encouraging me to have a small bowl next to my sewing machine to hold feet when they are changed, and a package of needles.

Her little ruby bowl now sits next to my bowl.
Sharon and I used to go to estate sales and tidy up the sewing sections. She had a passion for buying what she called "Dead Women's Notions".
Missing her today and lovingly using her ruby bowl.
Circled Squares
2022
96 by 84 inches
Block finishes 12 inches
I like how this block resembles a Viewmaster reel.
This block is usually made in a nine-patch fashion.
I changed the cutting and piecing so there was a larger uncut center section so it was a less interrupted visual.
Directions for the block are here:

The block variation and the setting directions are mine, use at your pleasure.
