Bonnie Hunter's Good Fortune! Mystery is HERE ;-)

It's HERE!  The annual Bonnie Hunter Mystery is FINALLY HERE!  This year's BH Mystery has been aptly coined, "Good Fortune!"

Got a bit of a late start on this year's Good Fortune! Mystery.  Had to work on our washer after it decided to leak water ALL over our hardwood, while trying to wash Thanksgiving linens!  After 6 hours on Friday and an additional 2 on Saturday, got it back to running in time to finish all the backlog of laundry and get started on this mystery.  Got some cutting in while the first load was washing.  What a Welcome sight - a properly working machine!





And now, for Clue #1!  First we cut and start to sew:

Starting to sew our cut strips

Strips sewn and cut into 2-patches - ALL ready to be sewn into 4-patches!


2-patches ready to be sewn into 4-patches

We have 4-patches!!  Spun:

Center intersections ALL spun & pressed


...and Done!

4-patches complete for Clue #1
Clue #1 stored, ready & waiting to be called up and added to our Good Fortune Mystery Quilt!

Clue #1 safely stored away for 'later'


Alrighty then - time to get back to sewing our family's Christmas Surprise quilts!

Hope you and yours had a Wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday ;-)

Later,

We Remember - Veteran's Day Today, Armistice Day 100 Years Ago

In Memory of those who fell:


Because of those who sacrificed their ALL, so we may enjoy the very Freedoms we have Today...

Thank YOU.
