"Peacock bowl and crop circles."

Hello,

Today I wish to share with you my Peacock bowl. I received this a couple of years ago for a Christmas present.


It has been known to hold a few lollies.


The good thing about it is if you turn it upside down it makes a great template for my "crop circles" I'm presently hand quilting.

Linking this post to Melody's blog for Tuesday's Treasures.

Happy days.

I love that peacock bowl, very precious for a crop circle template. I would be terrified, in my clumsiness, of dropping it. Eeeeeeeek!

One way of getting the most out of our bowls. The colors in the bowl are very pretty. A great color pallet to work with.
Happy Days to you! It is the first day of Spring here and I am ready for it.

Way to go. I often head into the kitchen to look for just the right circle. Your bowl is lovely.
Have fun hand quilting.

That is a cool looking bowl, multi-functional too. Fun way to make crop circles on your quilt project, which is gorgeous. Love all the rich colors, and the dimension the circles are going to add.
