A Mystery on Thanksgiving?

-
Well our Thanksgiving time is not the same in Canada as in the US but I believe this should be interesting.  There's a Mystery quilt
from (see above...).  And it should be very interesting.  The fabric requirements are the following

Greens: 1 1/4 yards
Blues: 2 yards.
Reds: 1 3/4 yards
Oranges: 3 2/3 yards
Neutrals: 6 yards

It can be scraps, or plain colors, or a very small pattern.

According to the designers the seams take up a LOT of fabric, up to 30% when the piecing is small.  Don’t be alarmed at the yardage requirements given.

The more pieces per block, the more fabric is in the seams. Plan accordingly and know that individual yardage requirements may vary depending on width/length and sizes of scraps used. You may need more or less fabric depending on the method you choose for each unit I present. I believe I have given ample yardage for even the methods that would use the most fabric.

Clues will come every Friday with the first clue going live on Black Friday, November 23rd.  No set time of release of the clue is given, but generally before 9am eastern time. 

I don't know if I have time for this quilt but I do know that it looks very interesting, you need to be accurate with your cutting and sewing, because there seems to be a lot of triangles so if you're game...  The address is below.  Have fun.

One I missed and another done

 I’ve been cleaning my sewing office and I have been noticing how any UFOs I have but that’s ok because I’m retiring soon and all of the projects will keep me busy.  The kits are all together except for batting and backing.  So it’s a win win.  But I’m getting an overflow, too much stuff around to the point  that it's overwhelming me.  Like everyone else in the quilting world I can’t resist a new BOM or a bargain so I keep on starting new ones but I’m resisting ladies (hello my name is Nicole and I’m a fabricaholic.).  This past month I’ve been finishing off a lot of quilts (see last couple of blogs) but today I’m showing you one I did this month and another BOM from this year so it doesn’t become a ufo.  Here she be…. End of bed quilt. This pattern is free at Riley Blake Design, on this link.     The squares are 10 and a half in size.  Their pattern did not include the blue line I put in, a 1 1/2 inch fold.  Stitched between the blocks, a 2” piece and the side borders.  It made th

 And I’ve been able to get some painting and sewing in.  I have completed some baby quilts, made some gifts and cleaned my room after my bookcase collapsed.  Yeah you heard right, my IKEA bookcase (with drawers) stretched out and the shelves came tumbling down.  Too many sewing/painting/quilting books and paints in it.  Out with that old and in with a used steamer trunk that I redid.  Final product are the 1st couple of pictures.  Even used wood glue for cracks. Redid with restick wall paper that is waterproof.   All my supplies The crack that I wood glued. The start that took about 2hours. The finish product that has projects in containers, and fabric for sewing clothes.  It worked well. Then I had some things that are just in a tray that I needed to fix.  So I completed these projects that were small and almost done. The container  Pillow case embroidery  Mug rug, hand stitched.  Tea dyed. Look at the stitching or rather quilting. A dress that needed a hem and to fix neckline A very

 With a few UFOs done.  They are Cat Approved. Both of these have gone to the hospital's children's ward. Yes they are identical.  The material was given to me two years ago, with the blocks already done. I just finished it off and binded it. This one is a Joanne's Kit from 5 years ago, before Covid.  The kit contained all the material and the pattern, but some of the material had been changed and that's why the discount.  The kit was $20.  For all the top material.  What a steal!!! Simple quilting in the ditch and some echoing. My husband loves the colors.  Perfect for a guy.  I was going to give this away but the hubby said no, it's perfect for our house, so it's staying. I also did one more quilt for a friend that I gave away last week so now I can put it up here.  It's part of the American Quilt UFO challenge.  I found some of the trees premade and in a box while trying to clean my quilting room. Made a couple more, and started the art drawing. A good si
