Good Minus 31 Celsius Sunday Morning.

Woke up early because I have been sleeping on the couch since Christmas Eve and my hip is protesting.  DS may have found an apartment and occupancy is immediate so hopefully I will have my bed back sooner than expected.  I am also going to buy new girly print sheets for my bed to celebrate.  I hope it sticks this time.

I am waiting to see if DH wants to brave the cold and go to church this morning.  If not I plan to go downstairs and work on CS.  Yesterday we had blizzard like conditions with wind chill warnings so I worked on CS for most of the day.  The colours of parts 3 and 4 can't help but cheer a person up.  

Here is a photo of what I have been up to.

 

I feel like doing something quiet right now, as it is 8:06 a.m., so I think I will cut out the pieces for clue 5 then I just can sit and sew when the mood strikes.  Oh boy is my sewing room a mess.

A photo of the mess on my cutting table.    My plan is to get all my scraps cut and sorted before I start any new projects.  I do need to finish Winter's Song for the quilt show and The Thelma Wynn project should be starting up again in the new year.  Busy, busy.

Back at it,

Happy stitching.

Working on clue #3 of the mystery.

Testing my new iPad to see if I can post pictures right to my blog entries.  Here goes.

These are bits and pieces of clue 3.

It will take some getting used to, I can tell right now, but how great is that to be able to post photos right away instead of pulling from camera downloads.  This is the best Christmas gift ever!!!!!

Clues 1 and 2 above waiting to be sewn into the quilt.  I should be finished clue 3 this afternoon, 100 of the squares are sewn into clue 5 and 100 are sewn into pinwheel blocks.  I need to start the four patches today or tomorrow, then I will start clue 5.  Yeah! I am catching up.

Better get back to it.

Happy stitching.

Boxing Day Coma

We are having a nice Christmas so far.  Our DS stayed over Christmas Eve and Christmas night and may be coming here again after work tonight.  It has been great to have him here.  He is not getting along with his roommate and is finding things difficult.  He is welcome to stay here until he can find somewhere else to live which I hope will be by Feb 1.    

Leftovers for supper and soup started simmering for supper tomorrow (with homemade noodles).  Yum.

On a quilty note, I finished up Clue 2 and started Clue 3. I am mixing up the methods for construction of the hst's.  I am making some using the magic 8 method and some by using the easy angle ruler.  Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to finish them up and start on the four patches.  Clue 5 should be posted tomorrow morning so I will still be as behind tomorrow as I was today.  Oh well, it is not a race. I am finding that I do not have much variety left in fabric choices.  I sure do not want to buy any more fabric if I don't have to. 

Photos tomorrow as I am too tired to mess around with trying to add photos tonight.

Happy stitching

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!

I have not posted for some time because I have been crazy busy.  I finished up some client quilts and made a table runner for my mother for her birthday which was yesterday.  I forgot to take a photo, oops.   I have also started the Celtic Solstice mystery quilt offered by Bonnie Hunter.  I will post some photos this week of my progress once the Christmas festivities are over with.  My favourite day of all is Boxing Day as we do not go anywhere, supper is leftovers and we just veg out.

I have to figure out how to add a photo from my iPad to my blog before I post any pictures.

Happy Stitching
