New Year's Weekend Virtual Quilting
#33
Count me in. I have all the instructions printed out for BHMQ, but maybe 10-15% of each clue done. I've got 12 UFOs on the list. Everytime I open a drawer, I find another one. Only got one done.
I ordered a three pack of a sorting box for all my patterns. Maybe I can organize them and get foot hold in the new year. The only other thing that is organized is my collection of Australian Patchwork magazines.
Hats off to tscweaves for keeping the weaving craft alive. I'm still using all the hand towels that I made for an order that was never picked up. They were yellow, so now I have a yellow kitchen.

I'm in. I plan to stay home until Monday morning as it's going to be below zero for highs and windy at least through Sunday.
1. Bonnie Hunter mystery clues 5 & 6
2. Iron, measure, and sort more blue scraps in general sizes- less than 2" and 2-10" and a bigger than 11" bags. I get smaller pieces of fabric (generally 2" - 8" width) from 2 groups where I volunteer. I have been putting them in bins and rummaging around to find sizes I want to use. Needless to say, the scraps are super wrinkled and some are tangled! So my goal is to get through the blue bin scraps by the end of January.
3. Finish the remaining blocks in my Amy Gibson book
4. Try to find a remedy to alleviate my off and on sore throat----Uggg!
Happy sewing everyone and, for those of you dealing with the elements of weather, stay warm and safe.

I'm going to sandwich a patriotic quilt I completed today so I can take to quilter next week; work on my swap blocks for Summertime swap; and cut out my next quilt...hopefully, if time, I'm going to get myself organized to begin a Baltimore album quilt...my big project for 2018

Cut out the triangles for clue 6 of the BHMQ, or about 1/3 of them, out of fabric, went to Dunedein, bought 1/2 yard, plus 1/2 yard of two more neutrals because I am tired of some of the ones I am using, came home, cut the redt of the triangles, sewed 1/2 of them. Will finish the rest tomorrow, then press and trim units 5 and 6. Maybe finish quilting and binding a wall hanging. Maybe sandwich a quilt for DH. Depends on how much football interferes.

I'll be working on the BHMQ. I'm way behind (about 25% of Clue 2 done) and Clue 6 came out today. Also making place mats for my daughter. I'm hoping to get them pieced and quilted before Tuesday. I'd like to not leave the house until then. :-)

Having just finished a massive project just in time for Christmas, it's time to look at some of the loose blocks I've made and work out what to do with them. Maybe I'll start something for my bed, maybe more charity quilts.

My clue #6 is finished, that was one of my goals for today. My curtain yardage is tumbling in the dryer right now, so I hope to get that cut into 4 panels and start sewing in the morning.
