Mystery Step 5!

This new Bonnie Hunter mystery is just SO much fun! I love her color choices, can't wait to see what the next few weeks' reveal! I have been keeping up with the clues too, so that is always a plus :)

So without further ado, here are my step 5 pieces and my entire Box o' Bonnie so far!




 Can you believe that Christmas is almost here???? My Gosh! We are going to a family gathering in a few hours but I did sneak in some time to sew earlier today. I will have a bit of time tomorrow morning as well. 

Wishing you all the very Merriest of Christmases and Happy Holidays!

Sallie was chosen using a random number generator set from 1-82.

 I have notified her via email and as soon as she replies with her address, I will mail that bunny out to her!!

It's been a little hectic this past week with social engagements and our last week of work before the holidays, but as of 4:30 today I am on vacation so I will have plenty of time to sew! Check back often for updates of my vacation projects, and have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Years!

Mystery Update and a Bit More!

I've finished Part 2 of Bonnie Hunter's Mystery Quilt! I'm really loving the units we've put together so far! 

Here's an "in process" pic


and here's my finished set of geese! Love 'em!




I've also finished 2 lap quilts within the last 2 weeks, both from free patterns available online! The first one is a Twisted 9 Patch from Mary Quilts and it was SO much fun to do! I have a large one planned for my own bed, as this one is a gift :)




This second quilt is also a free pattern from All People Quilt and is called Simple Sashing and Rectangles. I've previously made this same quilt with a white background and it looks totally different! My friend Michelle made one with a black background and I loved how it looked so much I had to make it again! This pattern is a keeper and I plan on making it several more times! This one is also a gift :)


Hope you are all enjoying the current Bonnie Mystery! I love her color choices for this one and am so excited to see how they all fit together into the finished quilt! I don't like to wish the week away, but IS IT FRIDAY YET??? lol
