New Mystery Quilt

Down By the Boardwalk with Pat Sloan.  Free quilt patterns starting in January 2015. There are 2 options.  I am going with the navy colors.  I love the first block 12.5 x 12.5 ".

Sock Monkey Blanket & Mondo Cable Cardi

 Using some of the material from the Fat Quarters grab bag. Noted in previous blog made this sock monkey quilt for Landon

 Evened up the fabric strips.  Navy blue for the boarder and a variety of the decorative stitches for the quilting. Brown Minky for the backing.

 Quilt size: 41 x 51inches. Would have been nice to have a real sock monkey to sit on top of quilt for the photo's.

Knitting Project: Working on

 Completed the 1st Sleeve

Working on Easy Street

I thought at this time last week I would have all the  Easy Street blocks sewn together by Monday, however life got in the way.  One of the reason it's not completed is I stopped quilting  to work on a knitting project all weekend.  See previous blogpost. 

 Placing the blocks  up on the design wall was exciting to get an idea of how it will look finished. Hopefully tomorrow I will have some quilting time.  Here are a few of the photo's of Easy Street on design wall and some of the blocks sewn together.  

Mystery Quilt Easy Street Clue # 6,7,8

I am still busy working on the Easy Street Quilt. This has to be the most piecing I have ever attempted . It's amazing how others have completed their lovely quilts.  I want to know their secret.
 I've decided I could win the prize (if there was one ) for the most extremely slow piecer on this mystery quilt along.  

 The colors are so beautiful together, happy colors.

I have completed all 16 Part A Blocks:With Purple Centers.

Completed All 9 Part B Blocks with the Green Center

 Today I worked on the pieced triangles # 2. At this time I have 6 out of 12 completed. 

 I have  the 4 corners  to piece. Ten more blocks to sew, then assemble rows. 

Mystery Quilt: Easy Street Clue # 5

Over 64 Units completed this weekend for the Bonnie Hunter: Easy Street Mystery Quilt. It is fun to see how  other Easy Street quilters are playing around with their block arrangements. Wonder what the odds are someone gets the quilt pattern correct ?  

 Yesterday, Finally finished a pair of socks I started this summer. The socks were put on back burner during the long hot summer, countless days over 100 degree .

Still Waiting

Still waiting for the fabric to arrive.  According to UPS I need to talk  with online fabric store.  The customer service (online fabric store) was very helpful and with in 5 Minutes had a tracer placed on package. And she wrote up another order for the fabric. They feel the package was lost or address may have come off the package. I am hoping to get the new order within the next couple of days and will only be a week behind on the mystery quilt.
