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.

One of them is doing the mystery this year. Another of my sisters is making two! Here are a few pics from today...
