Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all!!  Of course, my main quilting mission at this time every year is Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt. Annie, Cheryl, Kathy are some of the quilters I know are working on this quilt...are you working on this quilt as well?   I am on track to finish strong! Each bin is a clue.  These are saline syringe cartons from the hospital, which are thrown away each day.  Why not recycle them?  I have yet to finish the fifth clue, but I do have my fabric at the ready.  Just need that ever-elusive thing...time!  Lucky the kitty is helping with inspection. Quality control, you see!

I finished another pink block for Block heads five.  Great fun! 

After all this quilting...we just MUST rest!!!
My iris is blooming in December.  Hmmmm.  why???



I have been playing with plaid log cabin blocks.  Stay tuned!  They are such great fun!!!  I did have a picture but darling kitty helped with the touch screen...and poof!!  Picture deleted!!!  Next time, hopefully, I will have a quilt made of them.  



Hope you have a wonderful day.  I am working a 12-hour shift in hospice today.  Hope all goes really well.


Julie

Merry Christmas Julie! I enjoy your blog but rarely comment. I will do better in the new year.

Merry Christmas! I am working on Bonnie’s mystery quilt too but I am a little behind- lots of blocks in each clue! I have to laugh at your syringe boxes. I am using the tubs that Butterballground turkey comes in for my clues- look just like yours!
Thanks for sharing!

Merry Christmas, Julie! Bless those patients today. And thank you for all the inspiration through out the year. You are a dear one :-)

So wonderful that you are working with those in hospice. I know you are good with all your patients but hospice has got to be some of the most difficult. That little puddy tat isn't so little anymore! CUTE! I'm still saving the clues but am about 98% certain that's one mystery I won't make..can't wait to see yours though; you are SO FAST even with all you do!!

Pretty cute QA expert at your house. I love to work with plaids, can't wait to see your LC blocks! Merry Christmas, Julie!

I'm almost done with clue #5. Holiday's are a hard time to lose a family member.

A large tree fell over with a mighty crash, half a block from our home.  We are all grateful that it fell toward the street!  If you can zoo...
