Merry Mayhem #148 NYD Mystery 2024

 Today BJ and I sewed online (and Andrea popped in).  She was working on her Cuts and Bolts mystery, and I was working on my surprise clue seven from Indigo Way.  As usual I did the math wrong and this time instead of cutting half the units, I cut double the units.  I have many leftover that I can sew or bag up for future.  I need to put these hourglass blocks into the blocks, but that is for tomorrow maybe.

This is the bonus Eye Spy quilt I managed to get sewed while working on the mysteries this year.  I need to add a border to it.
The following pictures are in backwards order of clues for Merry Mayhem.  I am loving how my blocks came out (I have more blocks than what is pictured) and have decided to add the sashing, but to swap out the light colored cornerstones and use either all red, or red, green and dark blue.
I like it okay without the sashing too, but since the sashing is already cut and makes it bigger, I may as well use it.


These blocks are Becky's.  Looking forward to seeing how all three of ours turn out!

Stitching Along :)


 I had a crazy idea that I would sew up the Countdown to Christmas mystery quilt.  The stars above are only two inches!  They aren't supposed to be wonky, but ummm two inch stars aren't my gig!  I am not sure I will be trying to make one each day, but I know I will love the end result on the the blog, lol!  I also made a few more tissue holders.
 Last night Kathy and I organize FLORIBUNDA!  This quilt has been waiting for me to get to it for about three years I think.  I participated in a swap online and some of my local friends also contributed!  Today at the PHXMQG Sew-In I worked on it across from BJ and next to Kelli while gabbing away.
 BJ is finishing up getting her Easy Street blocks together (from Bonnie's mystery last year) so she will be all set for this year's mystery!  She has been eating right and walking and is looking great these days too!
 By the time the sewing was done I had sixteen blocks made myself!
I came home and sewed lots more.  They aren't all into blocks, but the strips are together and the hsts are done.  Hoping I find time tomorrow to iron, subcut and sew some more.

Summer Sewing!

I have not been sewing too much this summer.  Playing lots of games and reading lots of books instead.  Barb keeps on trying to get me in th...
