The lull after the holidays always leaves me feeling a little blah. I have been working on some stuff...
Bonnie Hunter's latest mystery quilt, Celtic Solstice. I chose to use different colors. We'll see how it turns out when it's all said and done!
Bonnie gave directions for 2 different sizes - a smallish full size, or a king size. Originally I was planning to make the smaller version. More recently, I decided to make a queen size, which means I need to make a lot more blocks than originally planned. I will need 81 blocks, for sure. We'll see about borders after I get the 81 blocks done!
Here are 2 of the completed blocks.......
Let's just say that I have a long way to go.......
My friend Julie has enjoyed taking part in Block Lotto. I have decided to give it a try as well. Here are my blocks for this month --
The maximum number of these blocks we can make this month is 6. I think I will make a few more. Oh, and I'm not sure what happened to the bottom of the picture. It was taken with my phone...... on a really cold day. :)
Perhaps you saw the neat tutorial by the Missouri Star Quilt Company on the Disappearing Pinwheels. You can see it here. Jenny always does a fabulous job with tutorials. So easy! I decided to give it a try, even though I didn't have layer cakes I wanted to use, I cut my own 10 inch squares.
I believe this will be on ongoing project!
Today I tried a new recipe - Malted Chocolate Chip Whoppers Cookies - recipe found here. They are fantastic.
I used Brach's Malted Milk balls instead of Whoppers.....I must say, the Brach's are so much better!
And finally, here is a photo of what I haven't been doing......as in, I haven't been taking down the Christmas decorations.......
Oh well, tomorrow is another day, right? :)
