Clue #3 of our Frolic Mystery is already HERE!

It's HERE!  We're actually up to Clue #3 of our "Frolic Mystery".

Clue #3 - Complete!

This Clue took a bit longer, since there are almost two-hundred HSTs ;-)  I decided to use one of my GO! dies to make some quick work of cutting - worked great!

Clue #3 - ALL cut out and ready to sew

The sewing was nice and steady while listening to 'Scrooged'.  One of my fav times in chain sewing is arriving at the very last unit...ahhhhh

The very last unit is stitched...Yeah!

Final confirmation - NO more HSTs left in the 'neutral' basket...Yes!

Empty basket of neutrals is Good!  (Cut a few extra blues for another project)

ALL complete and stored away 'until' time for them to come out for final assembly

Frolic - Clue #3

In between cutting & sewing, managed to finally get our family's Christmas tree up - just need a few elves to help finish hanging the ornaments & candy canes, Christmas train, and we're Golden

2019 Family Christmas Tree

Time for one last Dark Chocolate covered cherry...Mmmmm.

Secret weapons

...and now, it's snowing...Perfect!

Clue #2 - Frolic Mystery

This week offered a somewhat easy/Fast clue for our Frolic Mystery...Thanks, Bonnie!  For those who needed to play a little catch-up from last week's frolic-ing start ;-). this week's clue provided a wonderful opportunity.  For me, will give me some much needed time to catch-up on a few of my other holiday projects and activities!

Clue #2 of Frolic

This clue went together quickly = Fast & FUN!

Sewing those strips

Pile of strips ready to sew together

Time to cut to size:

Cutting strips to size in sets cuts cutting time in half

Bagged & tagged:

Clue #2 - bagged/tagged, ready & waiting

Next!  Dancing in the Moonlight still needs its binding/labeling, and two Veteran quilts need finished up in time to be quilted, while three Christmas quilts and two baby quilts are waiting in the wings to be quilted/bound/labeled...time to sew, Mama, sew ;-)

Later,

4+ Calling Birds and...a Frolic Mystery!

The annual Bonnie Hunter Mystery, "Frolic" is underway w/first Clue, which includes 4+ calling birds - at least mine does...see for yourself ;-)

Clue #1 - w/4+ Calling Birds ;-)

They could be bluebirds but...because it's the Christmas Season, I'm sticking with 'Calling Birds'.

A few of my fabrics for this Mystery - more will be added as they are 'found' during the latest 'Organization' of the fabric inventory:

"Frolic" Mystery fabrics

And while sewing, don't forget to 'twist & shout' those center intersecting seams - makes for a much flatter unit and so much easier to quilt:

Twist & Shout those center seams!
