Lupine mystery clue 2

 I can’t believe I’m caught up on the first two clues. Next clue on Friday   Clue 2. Some of the geese will require creative sewing. I think mine got worse the more I did

I’m also starting the Magnificent Mystery, it started in September so I’m way behind.

Lupine mystery, clue 1

 I’ve done half the clues and the other half is cut out. Then clue 2. Today I needed to rest mostly after an exhausting Thanksgiving…but good. I did make a pumpkin pie and some cranberry jam. The jam is a new recipe   I overcooked the pie and I think maybe cooked the jam too long…oh dear  nothing’s as easy as it used to be!

Coat of many colors

 That’s what this quilt reminds me of…it’s very colorful   The back is a micro fiber sheet, need to take another photo  and I’ve cut our a few of the pieces of Bonnie’s mystery quilt.  There’s no reason why i can’t keep up with the clues!

It’s quilted

 First quilt I’ve put together and quilted in a long time. Boy it’s harder than it used to be…just need to bind it then can start on Bonnie Hunter’s mystery quilt.  I haven’t done the last two mysteries but I intend to since I have the fabric. I miss my quilting buddy, my sister, we always did these together.  I have a couple projects lined up. It feels good to be back in the sewing room , poor thing has no name…

My Christmas cactus is blooming for thanksgiving

Donation quilt top

 Time is fast approaching when this is due, better get hustling. This looks different than it did on my design wall due to my errors transferring from the wall to the sawing machine!  But I’m not fiddling with it any more…

Progress is happening

I finished the apron, it is huge but still works, maybe I’m not wearing it correctly!


Next is the quilt for donation to Sub for Santa.  I think it is ugly but these are what the quilt shop gave me

On the knitting front it’s always slower going than is wanted,  here is the blanket so far. 6 inches!
