Ready, set ....

I have been quiet on the blog-front because I've been busy sewing plus prepping for a family visit this weekend.  One of the reasons I had to pass on the race was that my family planned to visit sometime this winter and the dates were still up in the air.  The time has come.


Here's what I've been up to, sewing-wise.  Nearly all of the blocks for last year's Quiltville mystery are finished.

I would be ready to put the top together but I've decided to make it bigger.  I've been pre-cutting and kitting up parts for the additional blocks.  There are also HST parts for a new office runner/quilt since I have new furniture in that room.

As sew-offs in between the mystery blocks, I've been making piano key border sections for the Friendship pinwheels.

I have one more set of blocks to precut and then I will be ready to pack for Amishland.  The trip is right around the corner.  Can't wait!


Here are a couple of sunset photos from last week.  We are treated nearly every morning and evening with incredible displays.
