Two Almost Finishes and My Favorite Reads of 2023!

I quilted and bound my three little snowmen on Friday.  Hazel has pinkeye and an ear infection, so they kept her home and Indie was content to watch me sew in the morning.  I am waiting on some tiny black buttons (would you believe I did not have one matched set among all my buttons!) to make their eyes.  

Last night, I quilted my snowflake quilt.  Today I will bind it, I think.  
                                                 

I read 327 books in 2023.  This is a record for me.  My favorites this year (not including rereads) were:

This reading year is off to a good start too!

A Whole Lot of Mysteries Going on!

Here is clue 6 which I finished yesterday.  Very excited to be keeping up with Indigo Way!

Here is the completed cutting for tomorrow's Merry Mayhem Case # 148 Twist and Shout!

While Becky and Barb were sewing (and I was all caught up), I needed something to sew, so finally got around to this paper pieced snowman! Pretty sure I first saw it on Kathy's Quilts in 2008!  It marinated a long time.  The pattern seems to not be available anymore on Wendy's Quilting Place where it originated from.

This is a little bothy house.  Apparently a thing in Scotland.  I had to have one for my bookshelf!  Crazy, but so cute!

 Here is clue two of Cuts and Bolts New Year's Eve 2023 mystery quilt.  Sewing today, so on to clue 3!
