One of my
quilting weaknesses is choosing color so I am using Bonnie’s suggested
pallet for the "Grand Illusion" mystery. I shopped my stash as much as I
could. I did not have anything in teal so I had to really shop. I had
trouble there also but I found one that I like.
It is more aqua.
I am starting
slow and think these first units will be great leader/ender units as I work on
other projects.
I’m linking up
with Bonnie Hunter’s Grand Illusion link-up party. Check out what others
are doing.
Baking gingerbread
For years I have
had sets of cutters for 2 sizes of gingerbread houses. Saturday I was able to cut pieces for both
sizes from one patch of dough. I hope my
granddaughters will work on one and the other will be good to decorate at the
guild holiday party.
Pincushion
At the GCQ
holiday party Tuesday, Dec. 9 we can bring a handmade pincushion to
exchange. Sat. I made this Cathedral
Window type pincushion. For our Nov.
program Sharon Golden shared her collection
of pincushions and Sandra shared several links for patterns. I used directions at http://diaryofaquiltmaven.blogspot.com/2013/01/faux-cathedral-windows-pincushion.html
Sandra sold small bags of crushed walnut shells for
stuffing. I added a few scrap pieces of
cotton batting to help fill.
Very pretty mystery blocks!
