My PQ Mini Mystery Quilt Top Done!

My Mini Mystery Quilt Top is done in time to enter it into the Linky Party at

Persimmon Dream

Here is the

Final Clue & Linky Party



I started with These Fabrics 
which I pulled for another project
to see how they would play together in a larger quilt.



I started sewing My Clue 1 Block Here on Thursday.

 I completed my top just in time to add it to the Linky Party

This was an interesting mystery.
I will sew more of these fabrics and have this cute mini quilt to coordinate with it.

There are lots of pretty quilts in the links.

Thanks to  Kim @ Persimmon Dreams

for designing and hosting this mystery challenge.

It was a fun way to start the Quilty New Year.

A Mystery Quilt in the Making

These are my blocks for Clues 1-5 for the

 #PQMysteryQAL2

Last week I saw this lovely block for a mini mystery quilt in the making ... 

by Susan @ Farm Quilting

I was intrigued so I followed the thread trail back to the designer:

Kim @ Project Quilting is running this Mini Mystery QAL

To keep it a mystery, I started at Clue 1 and did not peek at the later clues.

I started sewing on Wednesday night and posted

My Clue 1 Block Here on Thursday

I have all the blocks sewed and am working on the setting tonight.

Here are all the Clues:

@ Project Quilting

• Clue 1
• Clue 2
• Clue 3
• Clue 4
• Clue 5 
• Clue 6 (at this link I saw the mystery revealed)

Clue 7 and the Linky Party is Here 

The link up is open.

If you want to try to get in on the prize thing,

you have two days to link up your completed quilt top.

It is quick and easy.

Hope to have my top posted tomorrow. 

Thanks, Farm Quilter Susan 

for posting your pretty blocks and inspiring me to sew along.

Happy Sewing, Everyone! 

EDIT:

After I posted the photo at the top I saw that I had sewed a mistake 

by flipping the geese on the bottom of one of the blocks.

Fortunately this meant I was able to fix it before I put on the block borders.

Good Catch, Me!

The Daily Blog for 2019 ~ Day 365 of 365

Today is the last day of the year,

 a time to reflect, give thanks and look forward.

At the beginning of 2019 I decided to challenge myself:

"I am going to make an effort to post everyday for 365.

Most days may just be a photo or short message.

My plans are to take things one day at a time

and one stitch at a time for 2019.

I have resolved not to make any resolutions 

but to sew and stitch whatever catches my interest at any given time ... 

which is pretty much what I always do in my sewing happy place."

Sewing and stitching whatever caught my interest was an easy resolution.

Finding something to post everyday was not always easy.

I have always been an introvert and 

and have never thought of myself as an interesting person 

with a lot to say that others might actually care to see or read.

I do thank my readers for following along on my small daily endevours.

There has been lots of fabric.

There is always lots of fabric.

So I end as I shall begin again in 2020.

These are the pretties that have landed on my cutting table today,

some old, some very new.

The newest, my last fabric purchase of 2019 ... 

This fabric is 

Land Art by Free Spirit Fabrics

by 

La Petite Boutique d' Odile Bailloeul

"Il y a tellement de choses inspirantes autour de nous!"

Her site is an amazing place of color and wonder.

It is in French, but has a translation button if your need it.

My French, which is the language of my maternal great grandparents,

 is not good, but I was surprised by how much I could comprehend 

without translating.

Odile's wonderful designs speaks for themselves. 

Maestro and I do not know what we are sewing with these yet.

We are dreaming and musing and looking forward 

to all the quilty adventures

that 2020 will bring.

Thank you for following along.

May you and yours have a safe and happy New Year's Eve!
