If I find anymore available I will let you know...I'm also following a couple of mysteries through my yahoo groups, but unfortunately they have closed their acceptance for new members during this time.

Well have fun, be safe, quilt lots, love much!!!!!!!!

The count down is on....

Well, my house is slowly getting some order in it after a marathon of quilting, and having company for Christmas...All my fun in the sun clothing is ready to pack and I'm counting the days/hours/minutes....lets see 9 days, 21 hours until I'm in the big ole bird flying to Hawaii....whooooo hooooo.....at this point, I don't even care if I get my fiance' wallhanging done...I will take a picture and give him a box of chocolates...hehehehe I know me bad, but at this stage I'm feeling really burnt out....
I have lots to get done between now and when we go...I'm off to my home town next week Tuesday, to clean my father's house and freshen up all his quilts and stuff...will probably have both my boys come out and help me and then make a supper for them all...which means, I will be away from home for 2 days....and since my hairdresser is there, I will also do my hair and all the waxing required to be on the beach...ouch sound painful to me...anyhows, I go now so I can get more stuff done around here, maybe even sneak in some sewing time.....

Bonnie Hunters Mystery has been revealed

Well the mystery has been revealed. I added a side button on the left for the Roll Roll Cotton Boll mystery....I really like it and will have to put it on the to do list.... It's the 600 hst that is a bit scarey lol.....

Are you keeping up

So are any of my wonderful followers doing Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt....What 600 HST OMG are you kidding me....I wish I was doing it but no time at the moment so am just saving the clues for another time...The rush is on now to do a million things around the farm before we fly away to Kauai, Hawaii for 5 glorious weeks of fun in the sun...whoooooo hoooooo.
So I believe that Bonnie is up to Clue #6 so if you haven't checked it out yet go on over to http://quiltville.blogspot.com/p/roll-roll-cotton-boll.html. Bonnie is also running her mystery that she ran in Quiltmaker last year called Christmas Lights, it's a 3 part mystery....                        http://quiltville.blogspot.com/p/christmas-lights.html

Oh come on guys and gals you know you want to start yet another project lol....

Well thats it for me for now, I'm off to my quilting room to sew more as I have a Valentine gift I designed for my Fiance' and need to have it at least sewn together before we leave so I can pack it as we will be in Hawaii for Valentine's day...oops hope he doesn't read this...he looked at me like I was off my rocker wanting to go sew after the marathon I've been on...oh my what was I going to say...so like any good lil white lie would do, I said this was for pleasure and relaxation....hummm wonder if he fell for it...besides I will be saved by all the football he will be watching.....

Until next time, stay safe, quilt lots, love much........
