Almost there!

Hello again my friends!
I am really glad you're back!

I just want to give a quick update about what I've been sewing the last few days while on vacation. It's Sunday night now and yesterday was the first day I left our house since Monday's grocery run. Does that say something? Also on Thursday we had a snow storm with 10" of snow so I thought it was appropriate if I were sewing all day for a few days. I had lots of food made before the snow hit and since it's freezing cold outside, I have a second fridge on our covered porch.


Stuffed cabbage, chicken soup, and lentils, all snowed in now :)))

Everything is white! Too bad it was a windy storm and not all the snow stayed on the trees :( It's not as pretty as it is usually.


I've been working away on the Celtic Solstice Mystery quilt. Since my last blog post I completed Clue #3 and Clue #4. While making all the small pieces I was thinking maybe next year I'll try to make the units twice the size and make less of them to see how that works out? Or after I see the reveal for this one I can decide if it would work with bigger units.

Clue #3 in the trimming progress:

And all the 25 pretty pinwheels:

Don't you just love yellow and orange together? I certainly do!

Now here are 120 4 patches for clue #4 before trimming:


I still have Clue #5 left which I am eager to finish as the next step is the reveal and I don't want to see it until all my units are done.

'Til we blog again! :)

  1. I love seeing the different version of the Celtic Solstice Mystery quilt in progress. Yours looks great; love your colour choices. Wow, you do have lots of snow, where as I'm still waiting here in Switzerland and it looks like we'll be gone before it finally comes. Oh well. Happy New Year Kati.
