Messy House Catch Up December

I like this time of the year - Christmas and Bonnie Hunter's Mystery. A few years ago we would always have Christmas on the Bellinger River. Being the middle of Summer it would always be a cold yummy lunch - that we would graze on all day. The mystery quilt would be sewn before and after Christmas day, with a view of the river.

This year is different for EVERYONE! We will still have a lovely cold seafood lunch and a hot Christmas Eve chicken dinner, but the sewing view will probably be a view of Netflix 😏.

The last few weeks has been all about Grassy Creek Mystery, although I am not using green, so may have to change the name. Clue one was to be grey and gold - I used grey and aqua.

Clue two was fun and easy to make. It was suppose to be gold, neutral and green. As I had changed my gold to aqua, the greens didn't really go together, so I changed that to purple. I really am trying hard not to use pink - getting out of my comfort zone.

Then along came clue 3 and more neutral with red and orange. What to do. The red is good with the colours I've changed but I wasn't so sure about the orange so had to audition all the different oranges I had with the clues already made. I had used most of my neutrals on clue 2 so a trip to buy more white on white fabric. Of course I bought more than the whites, got some more aquas, reds and some lovely panels. I had to unpick a whole section because I made a mistake - oops! After a few night sleep thinking about whether to use orange or green or a different colour I decided the orange would be okay with what I have.

Now to move onto clue 4 this weekend.

I have been posting each week, but now that we can freely travel the country I'm going to try to keep up with a post twice a month, with my travel blog in between.
