Everyone is so industrious this weekend!
I'm late to this party, but am finishing up the final touches on three Christmas table runners and working on clues 3 & 4 of the Bonnie Hunter mystery. Will be back when I have something to show. I also want to make a batch of cheese wafers and Chex mix to hand out to neighbours over the next couple of days.

Yesterday I prepped the backing for my Chain of Stars quilt and put the sandwich together (my least favorite part of quilting, even with spray basting).
I hope to start quilting it tomorrow. It's the largest I've ever done and going to be a challenge. Maybe I should start and the center and get the hardest part done first...

I know I've been over-sharing this, but I'm so excited and you all are the only ones who will appreciate it!
I cut out my horse like a giant applique and fused it to the background fabric and it worked! Hooray!
Now, on to sandwiching and quilting. Promise not to post again until it's finished!

Simply stunning, Watson! Please keep sharing!
My DH and I put up the Christmas tree today (we always do the week before Christmas, and then keep it up all of January), so I didn't get to my sewing desk until the afternoon. I cut all the pieces for Bonnie Hunters MQ clue 4 and started chain piecing. I got a quarter of the way through when I found out that the triangles weren't going to line up... So out came the seam ripper! Such is life

I did not post that I was sewing this week-end but I am. Trying to catch up on the 365 challenge. Will post blocks tomorrow, but I am caught up thru 12/11. I might actually finish this by year end. Family had Christmas at Thankgiving. "Thanksmas".
