keeping up with projects

Keeping up with the Little Letters project -

and the QOV mystery -

and Judy's Tell it to the Stars quilt along - (I've only made one, just to see what it looks like!) but I have all November to finish ..

 

I'm still on track with Charming Stars, and I want to start the Night Sky quilt along ... I really like star patterns!



Wednesday report

my little letters so far, (new letter  R today!) and wondering what color next...

working on the QOV mystery quilt from Yahoo groups

Saturday finish, my Houndstooth Check quilt

Due to more problems with my Bernina, there was a delay in finishing this.  But $300 and new gears later, my machine runs better than when it was new and that makes me happy.  So this one is finished, just need to bury the threads since I used a slippery thread on top, Glide linen.  I have another quilt pinned and ready to go, should finish it up this next week

my little helper - she jumps up and snuggles in whenever I take a break...

I found some houndstooth check to put on the back, didn't buy enough so filled in with a turquoise sheet!

Also added one more little letter...

Design Wall Monday

I am a week late finishing this 2-color mystery top from Seattle Quilts http://carterquilter.wordpress.com/author/cacarte/ , and I still have the sashing on the bottom and right side to put on.  But was eager to see what it looked like!

and another Little Letter...

Past mysteries

I wanted to do like Kathy did (http://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/2014/10/tracking-mysteries.html) and show my "Bonnie Mysteries."  These are all quilted but I can't find pictures of all completed quilts!
The first one I did was Carolina Crossroads, picture dated January 2008, eventually given to a grandson.  This was all plaid shirts from thrift stores!

2008 Orange Crush, eventually given to a son (after rotating on  my bed!)

2009 Christmas Lights, given to another son.  This was in Quiltmaker magazine, not a mystery

2009, Double Delight, eventually given to my daughter.

2010 Carolina Christmas (I did not do Christmas colors).  This queen/king sized quilt eventually was given as a wedding present for my nephew





2011 Roll Roll Cotton Boll, I have this one.

 2012 Orca Bay, I kept this and use it on my bed, rotated with other favorite quilts.

  

2013 Easy Street, kept (looking for the picture)

2013/14 Celtic Solstice, kept

and the 2014/15 mystery soon to start!



Pinning Big Stars

getting ready to quilt this, now that my Bernina is back from the shop!

 

and Wednesday's little letter...



Tuesday's work

up to date on my Little Letters,

and I joined in on a one-day mystery at Quilt Patterns From Seattle http://carterquilter.wordpress.com/
I had the squares lined up and was starting to sew the columns together when a burst of wind scattered them all over the place - and maybe the cats helped!  So after figuring out where I was, I have this to show.  Some squares are not yet completed, I'm doing this "my" way (as opposed to the instructions!).  easy to get mixed up....
