Merry Mayhem Mystery Prep and More! from The Modern Diary

Hannah (and Jeremy) loved the Pine Tree Point RSC quilt they got for Christmas.  Hannah gave me some fun stuff too.  A book and a mug that were on my list--I have read all but four or five of the books on this mug so I plan to read the rest this year.  I just need to get my hands on them.
Yesterday I finished clue four of R Trail.  Lots of counting and recounting happened in order to get to this point, but done!
I completed my book challenge scratch off for the year.
Hannah and Jeremy got me ...

Three Quilt Finishes, a Clue and some Reading! from The Modern Diary


Pine Tree Point made for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge made its way to Arizona to Melissa who quilted it (and the B2 quilt) in a jif and mailed it back to me!  I love how both quilts came out.  This one is for my daughter and her hubby.  It is quilted with stars.  Linking up!

We got our little tree up last weekend and so far the cats and Hazel are leaving it be.
I managed to get clue 3 done for R Trail.  Pretty happy with it so far.  Clue four is out and I just made one test ...

Books, Games, and Pine Tree Point is a Flimsy! from The Modern Diary


I got a surprise package the other day!  You may remember I ordered a second blind date with a book from Book_Bestie's Etsy shop.  Well, it was lost in the mail so when I contacted her she immediately sent me a new book.  Weeks later the lost one arrived.  So I get a bonus Blind date!  I DNF'ed the replacement book "Wolf Hall" as it just was not doing it for me by the half way point.  Excited to try the original second one!


I did the Booktube spin #1 and so my chosen book was Jurassic Park ...

H is for Happy and Pine Tree Point Progress from The Modern Diary

Lots more reading going on.  I do not even think I took pictures of a few of them.  Enjoyed this one, though really weird it kept me turning the pages.  This first half was almost normal and then it took a turn which I expected.
I read this one for a facebook book club I am in.  Have not read John Saul since I was a teen.  Used to love him, but outgrew him.  This one was awful!  Other people in the group seem to have loved it.  I am a snob reader--seriously!
This one was really good!  Will need ...

Reading, Tree Sewing and Hazel Turns One! from The Modern Diary

Hazel turned one last month.  She has been walking and signing and even talking a bit for the past few months.  Really so much fun!  She kept this little hat on for quite a long time during her party too.

I decided to do a blind date with a book.  I found Julia on Etsy (BookBestie) and ordered my first date.  Here is the lovely package I received.  Almost too pretty to open!

The book was "Song of Achilles" which was on my radar to read.  It was a good story and my date was successful!

So I decided I ...

Happy Fall! from The Modern Diary

It has been a month since I blogged and all I sewed since them was the aqua Rainbow Scrap Challenge block!  I am linking up behind schedule and better see what the next color is!  I did not see it posted yet but Angela has a sick kiddo and is a teacher, so no worries if she is behind schedule.  I may have missed it too so will check back.  Only four months left to go!





I read another book box and really enjoyed it.  I should really cancel this but I really LOVE them.  I resell almost all of ...

Grey Trees and the Fourth of July from The Modern Diary



Since this month's color was blue again I decided to go with some greys.  I used my new aqua border sashing since I am low on the one I used for the first six blocks.  This one will blend in enough on the other six.  I am really enjoying the Rainbow Scrap Challenge!
I have also been working on Winter Blues (in greens) and finally got this awesome Stripology ruler which cuts so nicely!

We went up to the lake (Long Lake, Wisc) on July 4th so we could see the family.  Hannah and Jeremy and Hazel came out ...

Mother's Day Surprise and More! from The Modern Diary

The days are warming up and we were able to take Hazel outside for a bit one afternoon.  She loves looking at my quilts and she was pretty happy staying on the quilt for several minutes just checking it out.  She gets all around now with a pull crawl kind of movement and sometimes with a knee/foot combo so far.  She rolls all over and spins too.  Such a personality even so young.  I love this little one!
For Mother's Day we went all out and made more butterfly feet.  One for me, my mom, Jeremy's mom ...

Blue Tree from The Modern Diary

I made my Pine Tree Point tree in bright and light blues yesterday.  Linking up with SoScrappy!  I was watching Miss Hazel so I did it during her first nap, and finished during the second one.  She is cruising all over now--not crawling but she gets where she wants to go.  She loves bubbles, stories, music and me signing to her!

March Progress from The Modern Diary

March is finally here!  I hope that means that the melting snow will lead to green spring, and not more snow.  We finally bought a snow blower and have not used it yet, so guessing there will be no more snow!  Fine with us.  
Here is the third clue for the Kathleen Tracy Small Quilts Mystery.  We made four patches (last two columns) with lights and darks that contrasted with our other clues.  Really love small quilts!
I decided to buy a bunch of fabric from facebook marketplace at a deep discount.  It was about 100 bucks for all of ...

Grassy Creek Center is Together! from The Modern Diary

Hazel and I made her Mama a birthday butterfly with her little feet.  Hannah loved it!  It was a nice surprise. Linking Up with SoScrappy!  
Made my RSC Challenge block for February--Pine Tree Point in yellow.  Hazel was here at the time so it took a long time to sew this one block!
My friend Andrea sent me this handmade card.  So pretty, I had to share it and say Happy Valentine's Day to all of you!
Finally got motivated and worked on Grassy Creek!

The entire center is together and I am happy about the colors.  Next up ...

Mystery Progress Continues--and rejoining the Rainbow Scrap Challenge! from The Modern Diary

Stopped in to see Hazel last week.  She loves her tummy time!  Learned how to play Sylvion and it is my new favorite solo game!  
Grassy Creek's reveal came out....paused from it and....Sewed up the clue for Morewood Mystery, looks like candy.  Next clue in a month so it will be waiting.  
Today I sewed online with Dr. Kathy, Becky, and Barb...had some issues with the Pine Tree Point Quiltville quilt....I decided to make one block a month for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge since I have missed doing it the past few years.  
Lots of ...
