I haven't been on here a lot for the past weeks. Things just always seem to be getting busier and busier. Or maybe my time management needs work, which is definitely half the problem! Anyhow, I shipped my June birthday candies out on the first of the month, but they haven't seemed to arrive. I have been having some trouble with packages and online orders getting lost in the mail system nowadays, so I have my fingers and toes crossed that they all arrive on time!
The mystery quilt is looking exciting! Please keep sharing your pictures as you go!

Yeah, I likely have that many but really!! I plan on getting both parts one and two finished this week-end. I need some sewing time. My work is piling up and I need the mental relaxation so I can plow through the end of the semester with my students. Class will be over in three weeks and I will be free until September or whenever the university decides to open up again with students on campus. .

Parts 1 & 2 of our Mystery Sew Along
Well Swappers, I said that today was the day to get going on the mystery sew along. And I started and finished! Taa-Daa. I dove into my bag of squares and chose pinks and purples. I have plenty and if I need more for a larger quilt, I have stash to supplement.
No king size for me, Barb. I don't have that many squares on hand. I will plan on a throw size for sure, but perhaps a queen. We will see as time passes. I generally use nearly all of my squares each year from the swap. But I typically add hundreds more that I cut from scraps of the years quilt finishes for the year,
