What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

For Christmas Becky sent me a Halloween table runner.  It arrived in early February I think, but accidentally went to our old Milwaukee address.  The people there took it in their house and their dog got to the package.  They thought it was not damaged, but one green square was ripped apart.  I did not want to mention it ...

Here is the last clue for the Secret Agent Mystery Quiltalong  We had to cut things apart and do a bit of sewing before putting our top together.
I ironed most of my seams open since I had to pin like never before to make things line up just so.  I redid several blocks if they were off by more than a 16th of an inch.  
I did press all along, but it still needs another good press before quilting.  Here is my completed top.  I had no trouble with the first half of this, but the second half (the ...

 Today BJ and I sewed online (and Andrea popped in).  She was working on her Cuts and Bolts mystery, and I was working on my surprise clue seven from Indigo Way.  As usual I did the math wrong and this time instead of cutting half the units, I cut double the units.  I have many leftover that I can sew or bag up for future.  I need to put these hourglass blocks into the blocks, but that is for tomorrow maybe.

This is the bonus Eye Spy quilt I managed to get sewed while working on the mysteries this year ...

Here is clue 5 of Indigo Way.  I chose this brown fabric with other colors for my "special" fabric last minute.  It has several of the colors from the quilt so it should work.

                                        

                                        

Here is clue 6 which I finished yesterday.  Very excited to be keeping up with Indigo Way!

Here is the completed cutting for tomorrow's Merry Mayhem Case # 148 Twist and Shout!
While Becky and Barb were sewing (and I was all caught up), I needed something to sew, so finally got around to this paper pieced snowman! Pretty sure I first saw it on Kathy ...

I participated in the game exchange this year in one of my facebook groups (I missed it last year) and am thrilled to finally own Wingspan!  I cannot wait to play it.  Thanks Secret Santa!

                                      
Kathy hung a clothesline up high in my sewing room!  Super excited to have some of my little quilts on display.  I have two drape rods hung (one in bedroom and one in living room) and I change out the table topper size quilts by season on both of those.  I also use seasonal table runners and table toppers, but I still have many small ...

I made a cute little bag for Coleman's family for Christmas.  I put a large travelling checker game in there for them to take camping.
Here is my oops from En Provence (I think) that could possibly wind up in a second colorway of Indigo Way.  Since I made the first clue in the wrong color and already have this one, I am practically halfway there.  Doubt it will happen, but you never know.
Here is clue three of Indigo Way complete.  I have one extra set I think.

I changed my mind about my colors for Indigo Way several times, but in the end I wound up with brown, cheddar, and indigo.  The first clue had Bonnie using indigo, and I followed suit.  Made about two thirds of the parts before I realized her indigo is my brown!  Oops, so I then started over and made all of the clue in brown.  You may remember I did this once before with a clue in En Provence!  

                                                     

                                           

I made two more Christmas stockings.  These are for Wren and Chava, I think!

Hazel wore my daughter's Little Red Riding Hood costume for some of her Halloween activities this year (she was Wonder Woman too).  So fun to see her in it.  Hannah wore this one when we lived in Maryland and she was almost three.  This year we stayed home and passed out leftover Halloween goodies from when I was teaching.  We had quite a few kids.  
I cleaned through a bunch of Kathy's sewing stuff and since she is not sewing much these days, I added the fabric to my sewing stuff and sewed up her partially done top ...
