BH Mystery! Clue 3

Finished 139 Clue 1 of Bonnie's new mystery and got about 49 of Clue 3.

Awaiting the fabric for Clue 2 (and I need a Tri Recs ruler, Hummm).

Here is Clue 1 so far:


And here is clue 3. Love the colors! Back to Bonnie's Clue 3

Face plant

Amazing how a face plant on asphalt while running will really stop you in your tracks and send you to the hospital for the day but then you get home and you sew 20 blocks of Clue 1 for Bonnie Hunter's new mystery.

I even FORGOT to check the next clue.

Good grief, Charley Brown!

Oops! Fell of the no-buy wagon

Oops. Had to buy the constant fabric for the new Bonnie Hunter mystery. Also got some Kona Snow and Kona Premium Black which are allowed as they will be for backgrounds and borders!

Cut out and sewed four or five 21" strips of neutral fabrics for the Clue 1. So lovely to touch my fabric and sew something simple.

I don't have to stress about what I haven't done. Sigh.

DS completed his first day of work ever. He is exhausted but so am I from all of the driving. He only has a learner's and no car (obviously).

Now I am facing this driving adventure for three months. Sigh.

That's why I HAD to cut and sew some fabric last night. It's my therapy! (LOL)

I guess you could say that I am already behind on this mystery but I don't care. I love the colors and I am inspired!

Christmas Cleaning

Well, had to move most of my sewing stuff out of the living room because it was time for a Christmas tree. Wow. That was a lot of work.

While moving everything, of course, I had to peruse my fabrics for Bonnie Hunter's new mystery. I found everything except 3 yards of magenta. And I love that color. I couldn't believe that I had almost none of it.

I did find two pieces of fabric in the exact right shade but neither total to 3 yards and she is using that color for control to balance the scrappiness. Humm....

I'm currently working on "NO BUY" but I really want to do this mystery. AND I really really want to do this entirely from stash.

 First, my light lilacs:


Now the dark purple...


My pale yellows. Rather fuzzy. I will have to retake this picture...



And my greens...


No picture of my pieces of magenta yet.

And finally my neutrals...
