Old Town Mystery is Coming Along!

Old Town clues are getting done each week.
This clue is in progress.  After making the yellow hst's above Bonnie's way I decided to use my Thangles to make the next ones in purple and neutral. 

Here is an earlier clue.

I made two baby quilts with my Rainbow Scrap Challenge BOM blocks made from A Quilting Life's BOM patterns.  Not the best picture since it is winter and the sun goes down early!

 I also decided to whip up this ugly sweater wall hanging too. I need to quilt it, but I love it!  This was from the Missouri Star box last year.

Old Town Quiltville Mystery and More

Just wanted to share the game gifts I crafted for my honorary daughter who lives in Norway.  Rachel is very appreciative of anything I send her but mailing to Norway is EXPENSIVE.  I sent  her a quilt last year and it was almost 90 dollars to mail it (nevermind what it would cost for fabric, time, and longarming if I did the math).  This tiny box had what is pictured along with one books sleeve with "Harris and Me" in it and cost $33.00 to send.  They may have had to pay to pick it up to as they have a new law taxing things coming in.  UGH.  Anyways, my budget is small this year so I chose a game for each member of the family and made it for them.  I like all of these games (band aid match is for the two year old and Rove JR. for the seven ish year old.  Anyway, I hope they really like the games and do not think it is too odd of a gift.  It is the thought that counts right.  
I did the RSC and A Quilting Life BOM in rainbow for November.  The last block and setting instructions came out today.
I started working on this cute mini sweater wallhanging, but now that Bonnie's mystery has started (and prep for NYE/NYD mysteries, it is just in the wings).  The pattern and template and fabric for this came from the Missouri Star box from last year's advent calendar.  I may get it again in the future, but this year's budget just did not allow for it.
I decided to make some more microwave bowls since I had all I needed (Barb gifted me some of the inside stuff since she did not want to make any more).  I made one for Dad, Jay, Kathy, me, Angie (Jay's girlfriend) and some for who knows who.

Barb also gave me two panels with princess capes on them so I made this for Hazel.  She is really into dressing up and has quite a selection. She wears a scarf for the cape though so I think she will love this.  I will make the other one for Indie, but it is way too big for her this year.
I did a book swap with my Retreat Readers online book group. Pam and I got each other.  She spoiled me.  I made her the above book sleeve, but forgot she is also a sewer/quilter.  She made me two!  One is purple and one is Christmas.
Here is clue one in progress for Old Town (Quiltville Mystery).

Here it is complete.  
Here is clue 2 complete.

 I chose colors from someone's quilt block on Quiltville for the Unity quilt.  Hoping I love it when it is done.  

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...
