Bonnie Hunter Mysteries?

When I was doing a little searching in the sewing room this month, I might have come across 2 started mysteries. My computer that had the directions saved off died, so a little sleuthing and I determined that each was a digital pattern available at Quiltville shop! I got both patterns and now just need to start plugging away at them.

Neither project was added to my UFO list this quarter. I doubt either would get finished this quarter anyway!

On Ringo Lake was from 2017 and Grassy Creek was 2020.

It looks like I got to step 2 of On Ringo Lake. I love the colors in this one - peachy orangey coral, teal and brown with neutrals.

I got to step 4 or 5 on Grassy Creek.! I know I have seen these baggies somewhere in my sewing room recently.

These were my colors from the pull (or shopping pull!) I know I have been using some of them so I might need to restock. Good thing it is a scrappy quilt! I swapped her grey for blue on this one.

The girl has been home sick Wednesday through today with a terrible head cold. Let's just say - about 4-5 boxes of kleenex have been used already. She is a little better today but still coughing and blowing so she stayed home and I got her a Dr. appointment this afternoon to get her note to go back to school next week. If they are out 3 days in a row, a parent note is not sufficient, so we need to pay that Dr. co-pay and get a note! Greg will have to take her as I need to go pick up the boy from school.

Greg has been getting dizzy still in the afternoons so hopefully he will be ok to take her. The Dr is about 5 minutes away from our house, vs the 20 minute drive to the school for pick up. 

Unfortunately, I have a feeling she has shared her germs with us. I'll have to clorox the house down each day this weekend.

*** Update on Emily. Greg took her to the Dr's. It is not Flu (she had her shot a few weeks ago) and it is not COVID. Just one of the many viruses going around. We got the needed Dr note to get her back into school on Monday with an excused absence. I picked up the boy....who sneezed and blew his nose on the way home. Seems everyone at school is sick! Welcome to winter a wee bit early. I guess those 2 years of home and masking got everyone's immunity down a bit this year. 

Tuesday...

After a little working (cleaning day in the office) and then a walk at the trails with the family had me with a little time this afternoon. I snuck away and moved some things around in the sewing area and found some parts for step 2 of On Ringo Lake.

I think this makes about 100 of the 200 flying geese needed for step 2 of the coral and cream. Yes, they need pressing.... and I need to cut more parts to make the next 100. Step 5 has been released and I am way behind but... I am taking this one on my time frame and am saving off all the steps.

Ms. Emily really wants to go to the drive in tonight to see Ferdinand. They saw it last week with Grandma but she said she would go and see it with me too! Not sure if the boy will join us or not - if he does, Dad will have a nice quiet house tonight. Going to get chilly down to 51 tonight so we'll have to bring some quilts to snuggle in..... and if only 2 of us go we can stay in the car to watch!

Monday - On Ringo Lake Mystery progress Week 1

So far so good! I have the  9 patches done for clue 1. One week in and so far I am not behind! I do love how this is looking so far. So fun to work with teal, neutrals and browns this week. I wonder what colors will come out to play on Friday? Linking up with the Quiltville On Ringo Lake Mystery week 1.

RSC Saturday....

I finally took a little time this morning and finished sewing up my black and grey BITA blocks. I only have 12 brown blocks left to make before I can start assembling them into a quilt top.

While I was in there... I started cutting for part 1 of the On Ringo Lake mystery over at quiltville.com. Hey, there was some brown involved so I'm including it!

Linking up with the RSC Challenge. Head on over and see how dark scraps or colorful quilt tops are coming along. I ordered a roll of warm and natural batting yesterday... so I should be able to finish a few more tops in the next few months! Surprisingly the price was cheaper through Amazon than from Joann's. It should arrive early next week!

On Ringo Lake.....

So, this happened today. I had a little bit of time after bowling so stopped at Joann's Fabrics to see what they had in the coral color for fabrics. I got 1/2 yard cuts of these for a starting point. I'll pull from the stash for the rest of it. They were all 50% off! I also got some insulbright to make some pot holders Mom. It might happen this weekend....we will see.

Quiltville Mystery!

Bonnie Hunter has released information on her yearly free mystery quilt that starts on Black Friday. A clue is released each Friday for as long as the mystery lasts. This year's mystery is called 'On Ringo Lake'. I have made a couple in the past but have sat out the last few years. I think it is time to join in the fun again this year.... and I LOVE the colors!

Will you be joining in the mystery this year?

I looked back and I have made 2 of the mysteries.... Easy Street and Celtic Solstice.
