It's that time of year again, when all of the Quiltville followers look forward to stitching. The day after Thanksgiving.........where we all stay home from the "Black Friday" madness, dig into our fabric stash, and start the annual quest to make Bonnie's mystery design.
The details for the "Good Fortune" mystery quilt can be found at

Whether you're an old veteran stitcher, like me, or a newbie, Bonnie's instructions are golden!
I'm participating in the "Mystery Monday Link-Up", which can be found at

Yes, I know it's Thursday, but I'm taking the slow lane for stitching.
I completed clue one, this morning. All the fabric has been pulled from my STASH!!!
My leader-ender project is a braid from Victoria Findlay Wolfe's "Modern Quilt Magic." The fabric is the Black & Tan collection from Camelot Design Studio.
My listening/dancing around from sewing machine, to cutting table, to the ironing board pleasure is Spectrum Channel 941, sounds of the season. "Christmas with the Chipmunks" has a special place in my heart. I still have my long play album! During the holiday season of my freshman year at The University of Kentucky in Patterson Hall, I would put Alvin and his comrades on the record player. We swept the winning room for the whole holiday season! 😃 Fun times!
My favorite tool is a clover thread cutter attached to blocks of wood! SPEEDY! You can also hear Alvin and the Chipmunks in the video.
I'm looking forward to clue two tomorrow!
AN OPEN INVITATION: If you're in the Beavercreek, Ohio area and want to come stitch and join me for some dancing and singing stitching merriment, drop me a message!
Your leader-ender project is interesting. I love braid designs but haven't made one.
ReplyDeleteYour sewing, dancing and singing area sounds like fun - I'd love to join you, but I'm a bit far away (Australia).
Thank you! And yes, Australia is a bit of a long commute. :)
DeleteLove your photo with the grand-baby! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could come to Ohio and sew with you.
Glad you're doing the mystery too!
We are over the moon crazy about our grandson. Thank you! Wish you were closer.
