Merry Christmas to you!

P.S. If you are working on Monday Mystery #2....I have changed the date for when you must submit your photo to be entered in the prize drawing. Please send me a picture of your finished runner by December 29th. Alot of people have said that they are crazy busy with spreading holiday cheer and don't have much time to relax and sew but they have time between Christmas and New Years. So send in your photo by December 29th and be sure to mark your calendar for January 2nd. We will be starting a new mystery that day!

 

 

 

Mystery Mondays...finishing up

So today is tuesday and this blog post is finally going being posted. I must apologize....I have been out of town since early last week and thought I had put the timer on this post but I guess I forgot that part. Very sorry about that!

Today is the final steps for Mystery #2. Click here to download Blog Mystery # 2 part 6

This mystery is now done and I am wondering if we should start a new one next week or maybe start a new mystery after the holidays? What do you think? I can start a new mystery next week but I want people to have the time to join in and I know how crazy things are with all that we all do during the holiday season. So let me know what you think and I will go with the majority vote.

Since this is the last clue to this mystery, I think it would be fun for everyone to share with each other your finished projects. So, if you would like to share with us, just e-mail me picture of your project and I will do a blog post with all the pictures again, another great mini quilt parade!

Let's shot for December 17th as the last day for sending me your pictures. Here is another fun extra.....those of you that send me your picture by December 17th, you will be entered in a drawing for a free Layer Cake from Moda fabrics and my 11 new patterns that will be ready shortly......wait until you see them...I think you will like them!  I will draw a name from the submissions and announce the winner on December 19th.

Don't forget to let me know if you want a new mystery next week or if we should wait until after the holidays.

P.S. I did add fusible web to the supplies you need to finish this mystery....you will need it for the holly and berries so be sure to pick some up!
