MERRY CHRISTMAS

The last of the Christmas presents made this week, can only show you what one that has already been gifted.

The next few weeks I'll be cooking (not a lot) and sewing. I'll be binge watching a lot of TV and waiting for family to return from their holidays.

This will be my last blog this year. I'll be back mid January. 

I hope you all have a wonderful 

Christmas / holiday season.

In My Sewing Room This Week

This past week I finished not only part 3 of Old Town Mystery (above), but also part 4 - that's why I am a day late posting this week.

So just recapping - for my benefit :-

Part 1 - flying geese units

Part 2 - 4 patch units

Part 3 - hour glass units 

Part 4 - half square triangle units

I used the 2 squares on fabric to make 2 half square triangles. I cut all the pieces for the size I'm making before I started sewing.

I then chain pieced each pair of squares - twice

Took me longer to iron and trim than it did to sew, but yay I'm all caught up

Except for the two bottom left blocks that need to have attention by 'jack' - I put the wrong sides together instead of the right sides - OOPS!

Christmas Sewing???

Not this year, I haven't even got out my Christmas fabric box yet. I do want to make a new Christmas wall hanging, but that might be a project for next year. I did finish the next row of 'Between the Lines' sew-along. Row 1 is called Zig Zag Stack.

Last weeks Bonnie Hunter's mystery 'Old Town' clue was a four patch using red and white. I already had a bunch of red and white four patches left over from a previous project and luckily they were the correct size. They were probably from a previous Bonnie mystery. After counting I had almost half the number needed, so I am making more four patch this coming week as well as starting the next clue.
