Good morning! Iceblossom is traveling and in another time zone, so I am posting the links for today. The first link is to the blog post for today (the clue), and the second is for the mystery tab at the top of the blog page (last gray tab), where the live links for all the clues can be found at any time.

Yikes! I'm gonna have some catch up of tiny parts to do!
The plane hit a bird and had to be checked out before we left so got in around midnight. Was up in time to post the clue but forgot to get the internet password.
Happily in Phoenix for the week.

Iceblossom - enjoy your time in Phoenix. What a treat to spend a week with a friend!
I was kinda excited about the clue. I think it will be fun and will make the quilt more interesting. I mean, It's Bonnie! and it's what we waited for all year - the anticipation, the excitement, the tiny parts, and yes, the gazillions of them. It's why we do Bonnie. I've got a good start this morning. Looking forward to hearing about others' progress.

Yes, you are not alone. There are a number of us lurkers who will not be joining in until later. You're not the only one who must press pause until after the holidays..

Thank you, joe'smom for posting the clue links today! I'm just winding down from a full work week and household chores. I'm hoping to get a start on Clue 3 tomorrow. Provided I finish up a few more trim-ups from Clue 2 -will try to do that tonight, but we'll see. I may just poke around to see if I have any more "leftovers" aka prior Accuquilt cuts from other projects. I know there a treasures in that leftovers bin that need to wake up and be useful! IceBlossom – I like your B/W/G monochrome-has a simplistic calm feel to it. Enjoy Phoenix! I drove through Arizona twice, stopped at the Grand Canyon on one of those trips -it was actually my honeymoon! Thank you for the breast cancer awareness post, BTW.
Happy weekend quilting, everyone!

I cut my pink/purple units today. Considering what to use for neutrals on the pink/neutral. I'm going to have so many cardboards full of little pieces by the time we're through. This could well last me all year as a leader/ender!

First off, thanks so much for Joesmom posting the clue. Sorry I missed that yesterday.
We had such fun yesterday! Part of why I'm here is to help with some stash organization stuff, so a week of playing with fabric is my idea of a good time.
Barb and I met when we were still young In Alaska around 1980 -- we would have been 21 and 19. I am 2 years older and our birthdays are about 2 weeks apart so we'd celebrate in-between. I was already quilting and wow Barb could knit. She tried some quilting but it took her a few years to find batiks and her happy place. She is using batiks but Bonnie's colors (for Barb to not change colors is a big deal). She had a nice start before I got here, but should be done pulling now, and she probably won't start the Mystery until after I leave. We are also pulling another Bonnie project for her -- for that one she is definitely changing colors.
Today we have more fabric play to do. She likes to use the comic book boards but has gotten a bit behind. Today I will make a couple trips up and down the stairs so she can keep working on the dining room table downstairs.
Yesterday I wasn't paying attention and took a couple water bottles out to the recycle, and bang stopped the gate with my face. Woke up this morning to check, and I'm not largely bruised but it does look like I've been hit in the face. Because I was...
Let's be careful out there!

The fabric arrived. Washed and ready to go. Got Clue 1 WOF cut.
Want twin size. Does anyone know the finished measurements?
Decided to make the size of BH directions and adjust at the end. Maybe more squares or maybe an extra border. TBD.
