LQS for more background

Carolina Christmas

~A Quiltville Mystery!~

Part 3

Well, I started the day off cutting out my next part of the Mystery Quilt, while it rained outside. Found out that I am going to need more background...so off to the LQS to see if they by chance had some of the fabric that I purchased in Columbia......No, but they did have Moda scrap bags.

And they also had the fabric that matched what was in the scrap bag....got some of it & some background. I also picked up a EZ-dresden wedge ruler.

Also found a piece of striped batik to use for binding on the mystery quilt. Alas I will have to make a trip to Columbia tomorrow to see if I can get some more background fabric for the mystery quilt. If I am lucky the rain will stop by morning and they will still have some of the fabric I need........Marj

Part 2 Sewing complete!

Part 2

It took me most of the afternoon, but I have finished part 2. I think that so far I am really liking my fabric choices. Now I will wait patiently for part 3.......Marj

Clue ONE done

I was up late last night, as I am a night owl......so I went over to Bonnie's blog and there was the link to the first clue to "Carolina Christmas"

I just had to start, I love to piece and with Bonnie giving instructions all I have to do is piece. It will be a lot of fun. I hope that everyone else is sewing along and shareing pictures on their blogs.

Now I am off to spend quality time with family members that have come from CA to visit, see you later.........Marj

Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all who stop by. I am missing my parents, but I will be fixing Thanksgiving dinner for my Husband, daughters, MIL and SIL.

This is a picture taken this past July and it holds good memories. I am thankful that everyone is in good health, but also miss the ones that passed this year.
Hope that all of you Bloggers have a blessed day tomorrow enjoying the company of your families.........Hugs Marj

I have a Winner

The winner of the guessing game is Arlette. I also have a second winner Carolyn (she is a nonblogger).

The box contained a Singer Featherweight Sewing Machine, made in April 1954. It is even older than me which I find amazing. I had to get a few things fixed on it, but now it is as good as new. Thanks for participating in my guessing game.
Now I must get back to quilting......Marj
