Slow and Steady Wins The Race

Hello to all. I am still working on Easy Street Mystery being hosted by Bonnie Hunter. I have recently been obsessed with her Quiltcam session, vintage machines and scrappy patterns. I don't know what's happening to me. I am finishing up clue #3, ready to start #4, and #5 will be released tomorrow. Remember, slow and steady wins the race or NOT. Be sure to watch Quiltcam tonight @ 9:00 pm EST. It usually last about 2 hours. If you are like me, it's nice to have someone to sew with, even if it is virtually! It has a quilt retreat feel. is a pic of my progress!

I have also put four "pillowcases" in the mail to support the Sandy Hook, CT tragedy. The post I got the information from was Bonnie Hunter's. You can read about it, here's the link: http://quiltville.blogspot.com/2012/12/pillowcase-drive-for-sandy-hook-ct.html Here is a pic of what I sent.

An update on Lady G. I am still practicing my ruler work. Right now, I am just using straight edge rulers. I have also done some FMQ on my quilt using a design by Angela Walters. Here's a pic.

That's what I am up to!

Until next time.......

Moving Slow on "Easy Street"

A quick update on my Easy Street progress. Well, as the title suggest, it's going slow. I wanted to post the bits that I have accomplished. First off,  my purple bucket is full of the colors I have chosen. My constant is "Kona Snow", my gray is a yellowish green batik. Here is my bucket:

So, I have 80 4patches and an unknown amount of purple geese. I hope to have at least part one complete by Friday. If you want to shop from your stash, join Bonnie and her cast of characters on "Easy Street".

I have done a lot, but proud of what I have accomplished. As Bonnie says, "it's not a race". For those of you that have completed parts 1&2, rock on! Just a few more before I went to bed.

A Few More Pieces

BTW, if you are up for a treat, join Bonnie on her Quiltcam tomorrow night. Be sure to check her blog for the time!

Until next time...
