Christmas rush

Clue 2 and clue 3 have been posted and I have not done a thing. Bonnie Hunter has posted a myster quilt along, Grand Illusion, at http://quiltville.blogspot.com/p/grand-illusion-mystery.html?m=0. I hoped to participate in the mystery. I completed clue 1 and I have been cutting and drawing lines on clue 2, but that is about all I have got finished.

I have some of clue 2 cut. I am holding on cutting the neutral pieces. I decided I wanted crisp white to off sit the black so I ordered some new fabric last week. I have yet to start cutting clue 3.

Meanwhile, I have been busy working on my granddaughters doll beds for Christmas. I have four granddaughters ages: 12, 7, and 6 months. The two new granddaughters, Emily and Sophia, are starting to watch Minnie Mouse on Disney channel so I thought I would make a bed for them to use with Minnie Mouse. I made the beds red and white. Amy is seven so her doll bed will go with a frozen doll and I made her bed pink and white. Below are the three doll beds. 

Each bed has a fitted and flat sheet. The doll quilt has matching pillow case and dust ruffle. 

Autumn is twelve and a preteen. She doesn't play with dolls anymore. I am working another gift for her that is more age appropriate.

Hoping you find time to sew this holiday season.

A little sunshine

I had an outpatient procedure today and have been taking it easy since I got home. I made some doll beds for my granddaughters for Christmas gifts and I spent this afternoon working on the binding for each bed.

I used my new light to help me see for the close handwork; however, my little dog keeps hoping into my lap.

It is so cute, Wee, thinks he is sitting in the sunshine.

I hope you have swift and sure needle so you can finish you gifts for Christmas. I am almost done with my hand made thing.

Ready for 2nd Clue

I am excited to say the remaining 10 broken dish units along with 80 pink and teal hst are done. I am ready for Clue 2 that Bonnie Hunter will publish this Friday  at http://quiltville.blogspot.com/p/grand-illusion-mystery.html?m=0 . Bonnie is hosting a mystery quilt along. She has designed a quilt and is posting part ofthe instruction each Friday until the entire quilt is revealed. Those participating in the mystery are her beta testers. The week gives us time to complete the instruction and/or as ask questions if we don't understand. There is a Facebook page, Quiltville Open Studio, where the testers chat about the mystery and support one another. It is really cool seeing the fabrics the other participants are using.
