It time for a little show-and-tell for the Mystery #3.

Here we have Elaine T~

Great job ladies! I love to see the different colors and fabrics that people choose. I am so glad you have joined me on Mondays and I hope you have had a chance to find a little more time sew each week. There is nothing more relaxing or rejuvenating to me than to find a few minutes to myself to create something for my home or as gift.

 And now...the winner of the 11 new This & That Patterns and Moda Jelly Roll is.....Joyce! So Joyce, please email me your snail mail address and I will pop your prizes in the mail to you.

I have received another beautiful picture of Mystery #2~

Here is Roslyn's runner~

I also got a wonderful picture from Teresa. She calls it Safe Passage~

Teresa did the lighthouses using machine embroidery.

She used my Season's of Migration pattern~

I think Teresa did a great job and so glad she shared with me....thank you Teresa!

I love seeing the finished projects that you make with my patterns. Please feel free to send me your pictures and I will share them on the blog. Your projects will inspire others to find a little time to create.

I will be starting a new Mystery in a few weeks and I hope you will join me! I have been working like a crazy woman finishing things up for Spring Market and I will be sharing them with you soon. So as soon as I am done with that, I will be back at the Mysterys. This will also give you some time to finish up the previous Mystery's that we have done...then send in those pictures!

 

Mystery Monday #3 Finale

This is it! We are finishing up Mystery #3 today.

I would love to see your finished wall hangings. E-mail me a picture of your project by April 7th and you will then be entered to win a fabulous Layer Cake by Moda fabrics and a collection of my 11 newest patterns! (You don't have to have the project quilted or bound to send the picture.)

Can't wait to see it!

I did set up a Flickr page HERE for the Mystery Monday projects. If you would like to join the group and post your picture on that page you will also be entered to win. (I just hope I set up the group correctly....if I didn't let me know and I will try to fix it.)

P.S. If you would like to post your past Mystery projects on the Flickr page that would be great too. It would be fun to see them all together.

 

Mystery Monday's....border time!

Did you get your blocks sewn together or have you been outside enjoying the wonderful weather? I can't belive how nice the weather is this week. It sure seems like May not March around here.

It's time to start the borders.

Next week we finish up Mystery #3!

P.S. The points on the blocks in the diagram from part 11 don't match up as the ACTUAL blocks.....just go with the blocks as you have sewn them. Don't worry...it will look great!

Mystery Monday....starting to assemble~yay!

This week we are starting to assemble the wall hanging. I love to see a project come together!

If you live up north like I do, I hope you have had a chance to enjoy the weather this weekend. We never had much a winter and I'm kind of tired to hoping for it to come so now I am ready for spring. Bring on the flowers!

Things have been really crazy around here lately. I have been trying to finish up my Christmas book that uses the Holly Taylor  "Christmas Spirit" fabric by Moda. More to come on that soon....... What have you been working on?

Mystery Monday's....more sewing

Time to sew a bit more on the lastest block......

Have you been able to keep up with the mystery? We have a few weeks left until we are done with this Mystery #3. I have to start working on the next Mystery for you so here is a question.....should we do a bit of embroidery on the next one? What do you think?

Mystery Monday's...another block

It's time to start another block for Mystery #3. I love the look of several different blocks stitched up together to form a quilt, wall hanging or table runner. Yes, it takes a bit more time but I really think it's worth it. And since we are taking it a little bit slower by doing the Mystery, I figured we should do a few different blocks. I love the look of the finished Mystery and I hope you will too!

Hope you have a happy President's day!

Mystery Monday's....sewing up a block

This week we are stitching up one set of the blocks. When I am finished with my blocks and before I stitch them all together, I store them in a 12" box that is used for scrap booking paper.

They come is many cute colors and they are the perfect size to store my unfinished project in so that everything stays together and doesn't get wrinkled. Some local quilt shops carry the storage boxes and they can also be found at craft store. How do you store your mystery pieces/blocks?

Now on to the clue.....
