Wow, what a fun surprise!
Thank you for hosting, Iceblossom, and for the excellent introductory post.
I had pegged some batiks for the mystery this year, but in the meantime, Bonnie came out with another pattern recently, based on her trip to Ireland, called Lahinch. That had the right number of colors, so unless the mystery also has five colors (that includes the neutrals), I'm back to the starting line. My plan is not to abandon Indigo Way, but possibly to cut the clues and use as a leader ender project. We'll see.
Now to catch up things at Bonnie's blog.
