Bonnie Hunter's Quiltville Mystery, Good Fortune

I have finished the first clue to this years mystery quilt. I'm not sure I will keep up but I'm going to try.

Last week I purchased a new-to-me 1948 Featherweight from a friend who's husband got it at a sale. Dan did a once-over on it and it sews like a dream.

Here's my Clue 1 pieces:

The whole bunch of them:

Look at these cute neutral fabrics:

A martini and potato chips! How fun!

Happy New Year

Let's see if I can get back into the blogging world.

This has been a busy holiday season, lots of family fun, but I'm ready to get back to a quiet house and lots of quality time with Mabel. Dan goes back to work on Tuesday, so Wednesday I'll get back in the groove. Not for long though, I may have jury duty on Thursday and Friday I'm going to a short quilt retreat in Perrysville, IN with my Spring Break committee. We'll do some planning for the retreat in March and get some sewing done too.

One of the Facebook groups I belong to is having a UFO challenge in January.  We are to work on our oldest one. This one is pretty old....started in 2009.

 Then it got put away for over 2 years. I finally took it to a retreat to do something with it.

Yesterday, I chose a backing and today I quilted it with Becker's Shooting Star. One of the local groups I quilt with are collecting 53+ quilts for children in a particular school corporation who are homeless. This is my 5th quilt for this drive.

 

I hope to get the binding finished before Tuesday.
