Mosaic Tiles gone to Kathie

At a lunch party I gave the Mosiac Tiles quilt to my friend Kathie for her birthday. This quilt is the result of the New Year's mystery.



And here is the back, pieced out of the left-overs and stash. I would call this a "Nap quilt" as it is a little small for a twin bed.


And here is a Liberated Star (or wonky) I made last night.

Double Delight - Clue 1

These are stacks of 10 each of all the parts needed for 120 blocks of Square-in-a-Square. Bonnie Hunter has started her newest mystery. Blue middle and "shirtings" for three of the corners, "cheddar" for the last corner. Mine don't EXACTLY meet her descriptions, but they are all from my stash!
I have sewn three stacks together, and am trimming the last batch. Each one needs to be 3.5 inches square.

Unfortunately she has moved a head to the second clue while I have a long wayto go on this one. O well, she keeps reminding us that this is NOT a race. Enjoy the process!

Stopped my forward progress in order to have New Yesr's shrimp with my honey and watch most of the Rose Bowl game.

Christmas and Christmas Mystery

We decorated sugar cookies on the 24th(Charlie, my daughter Martha, grandson John) ,











sledding was TRIED,












fantastic dinner and dessert on the 25th,














played "Follow the Star" , a homemade family board game about 35 years old (DIL Lynne, DGD Samantha, Charlie, DGD SaraRachel, son Peter),








and I began a Christmas mystery from Dorothy of pocketfullofmysteries. Most of the blocks finished by Christmas bedtime.













Today I began sewing the rows.
