I enjoyed the FB page when it wasn't mystery time. So I'm with you....check out the pictures and make supportive comments. I don't typically post quilt things to FB anyway, because everyone on my feed sees it. It's not that what I post I wouldn't want people to see, but here at least you have to be interested in quilting to come visit the board. Most of my FB friends would never care about my quilting exploits, so I don't need to bother them!!!

I also don't envy Bonnie. It takes alot of guts and courage to be a public personality in whatever trade you are in. My DH has gone through that in the computer industry. You get all the good and the bad from people (and publicity) and somehow people think you should be a God, which of course you are not. Because of his experience, I always try to give Bonnie the benefit of the doubt and recognize that most of us would never be able to pull off being a public persona. I would much rather quilt in the quiet of my home knowing that if I make a mistake its just between me and my seam ripper!

Wow, you all have been busy and talkative, lol. I read the blog post and she is pretty adamant about those link up people abiding by the rules mainly because they are costing her a bunch of time since she has to read everyone's entry. Also the reason she is so adamant about going to her blog for the clues is because people that are doing the quilt are apt to make mistakes when sharing the information and then she hears all about it from maaadd quilters. I can't imagine all the aggravation she has to put up with when thousands of quilters are doing her mystery; and we all know how much havoc one aggravating quilt guild member can reek all by themselves. lol Love all the 9 patches. I hope to get mine done tomorrow. I have been busy with Christmas gift projects. I will be playing catch up.

Well said, Sewbizgirl. I sure hope you heal up quickly. You sound as though you are pretty level-headed about something that would make me collapse in a puddle of tears.

I'm back again, after having done En Provence last year. Just got a few 9 patches done in time to post the linkup this week. Been enjoying reading the posts here for the last week or 2 and seeing pictures and a lot of the same names from last year. I figure I might not got done all the clues timely but I'll at least attempt a few units of each one and then maybe get kicked into high gear once the units start coming together. Here's a picture of what I've done so far.

Sewbiz- hope your finger heals fast!

Macybaby congrats on the En Provence finish- major accomplishment there!


I’ve never done a BH mystery, but have followed along for the last several years and have enjoyed seeing everyone’s progress. I looked through my scrap stash this morning before heading to the barn — I think I’m going to try doing this one. Will try to get fabrics pulled this weekend!

I get BH blog a day late. So this a.m. I read one of the commenters and found my problem. I used the Accuquilt to cut some of the strips and they are dead on accurate. My hand cut ones are like BH tells us to cut: line on the fabric. Well, friends, you should not mix these and I did. I've got a hot mess.

Congrats to Macybaby on her completion.

can I ask what the MM New Years mystery is? I searched the challenge board, but couldn’t find it. I need to take on another project like I need another hole in my head, but i can’t seem to resist a mystery.

The link for the MM Mystery is on post #552 (this thread). I like doing these most when there are others and I can share what I'm up to. One of the main reasons I do the BH mystery.

Oh no Battle Axe! I did the same thing last year and had a huge mess too. Maybe make your quarter inch even less than a quarter.
