I’m baaackkk…..

 After a semi retirement, I decided I wanted to get back to quilting.  I have an apron cut out, I signed up for a challenge at a quilt shop to make a strip quilt - they provided the strips, and a 3 rd project, making a jacket out of one of my sisters quilt tops.  On top of that I of course want to do Bonnie hunters mystery quilt.  I missed the last two years and I miss the excitement doing it brought. But there’s one problem:  I gave away my stash and all my other fabric. So I’m slowly purchasing fabric here and there.. love the daily deal at. Missouri star company and the flash sale at fat quarter shop. Now that Bonnie revealed the colors for the mystery quilt, I’m looking to buy those colors.

Here’s a look at the quilted jacket I’m attempting to do, from a pattern on laundry basket quilts , I need to take in the shoulders and make the side seams smaller so the fronts will meet in the center  it has sleeves of course, this is just pinned together .  The quilt top is On Ringo Lake a Bonnie hunter mystery  from 2009 I think, that my sister made but never quilted  search this site to see my On Ringo Lake quilt!
