Monday Link Up

Yesterday I spent the morning sewing on the Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt. She had quilt cam up and so we sewed together. Fun to stitch and listen to her conversation. I managed to finish this weeks clue. I now have Clues 1,4, and 5 finished. Today I will have a little time to work on Clue number 3.

The New To Me.....Green Machine

Once again I was able to sew with friends on Friday last week to work on the current Bonnie Hunter Mystery. I was able to get this step cut using my Christmas gift to my self......a Go cutter. I replaced my Baby with it and boy did it make short time of cutting 2 1/2 inch strips! Here are a few pics.

Grand illusions Clue 2 link up

Yesterday I had to put aside the mystery to work on some Christmas gifts. But I did manage to throw in a HST here and there as leader Enders! Working with friends last Friday did give me a small start. I tell you what tho that was a whole lotta cutting before you even get to making those "precious" chevron units! I think I finally found a method that works for me. Not the template one .....just sayin'



     My tray of Mysterious parts.



    Unit 2 pieces ready to put together.




    Some cute grocery bags for my friends.
