Mystery Monday Link-up at Quiltville- DWM January 8, 2018

Going back to Friday before the Reveal - Part 6
needed to be Trimmed to size,  mostly just de-dog eared.

The Blocks couldn't be laid out to sew until these were done.
No automatic alt text available.

This was my 1st guess, close but wrong color placement on the corners 
and center Flying geese - turned wrong.

My second guess, so close but still NOT it!
Corner units not turned out
Bonnie was so right about there not being many Corals in the fabric library of EQ.
This is from my EQ8 version.

Then it was the Rapid fire clues until the reveal on Monday
 Step 7, 8, 9 and then 
Blocks made after all the Meetings and celebrations.
These 2 photos were on Friday's Blog HERE
Here I am sewing Friday at the LQS.
I love that I could go and use the Big table and sew there.
I think this is my Favorite Picture.
I pack a LOT to get my stuff there.
Upstairs isn't easy, but Josh was there to help! 
The tables have outlets installed under the blocks.

Parts and Blocks made enough to try the layout.
Then it was back to sewing more Part 3 blocks for the sashings
and cutting for the 2nd half so I could scatter the colors around, Part 7.
I had a Lot of running of the Stairs taking down one row of the sashing down to sew then bring it back up to see how it looked. 
Stacked and pinned to Blocks next so I don't mix them all up.
I cut the Brown Corner stones and tiny Triangles (Part 8) on Friday.
I considered using just one fabric for them, then relented and cut up all the fabrics.
The cutting of the Part 9 - the Aqua setting Triangles
The Aqua Triangles are fun to arrange around my half diagonal quilt.
They aren't sewn yet and I need to cut the corners to attach the extra unit 4's in there.

This is how it looked when I had to pick it up for cleaning Saturday night.
The Goal is still to have this corner unit SEWN together at Tuesday Night's Guild Show n Share.
More Quilt Yoga has to happen- - - after my Daughters of Utah Luncheon today.
Linking HERE for Design Wall Monday also.
I told my fellow Quiltvillians to send me a Picture since they weren't able to join me 
Sewing at the LQS.
Here is Sarah B's 1st Block

Jan E is still working on her PARTS.
Slow and steady as she goes.
Becky, Mona and Jessica might have something to show for the next link-up.
That's 6 of us working on the Mystery that I know of here in Walla Walla.
Linking up HERE with Bonnie for the Mystery Monday.

Yes that timestamp is correct- I had to stay up to write this post...
Thanks to all who have commented.
 I have many Blogging Facebook and Instagram friends who are working on this with us.
Imust say, the quilters showing full tops complete and everything, are not sleeping much.
Thanks to Bonnie!
& Thanks to Jane for the new Zazzle button.

Quiltville Mystery Monday Link-Up & DWM

Mystery Friday we met up at the New Walla Walla Sew n Vac.
Here are a few of  my sewing friends who came to play.
Funny thing was we were each working on a different part of the 
2017 "On Ringo Lake" Quiltville Mystery.

Sarah B
She's stitching Part 2 on her vintage Kenmore
Part 1 she got finished while we were together.
 Using her Stash this time for the Mystery
Sarah made last year's "En Provence" Mystery

Jan E

 Jan drew lines and trimmed her Part 2 Flying geese.

Mona H

Long Chains of Part 3 happening under her Needle.
I shared my Gypsy Cutter to help get those chains cut apart for Pressing.

Here is a close-up of her colors.
Fabrics all from her Stash. 

Jan E and Mona H don't have Blogs.
 I'll pass along any comments on thier Mystery progress.
Linking up with Quiltville HERE
I emailed my pictures to Bonnie, you might see them on her BLOG too.

Mona took a picture of me with my long chains of stitching Part 4.
Image may contain: 1 person, smiling, standing
I posted this photo on social Media with the fun Snowflakes.
Let it Snow, We can SEW!! 
Part 4 almost completed.
I loved using the Cute Aqua Print with Scissors on it.

The weather outside was Frightful, first there was Hail,
 freezing rain and then SNOW and freezing Rain again.
We'll get together Weather Permitting again next Friday.

Wow Wednesday - Working on the Mystery & ABC's

Oh the Weather outside is 'Frightful'
Freezing rain and slick roads means it's a stay in my Jammies and SEW DAY!
Parts 2 & 3 are leading and endering under my needle.

Oh, and I FOUND my Essential Triangle tool.
Thanks for the good thoughts everyone.

Monday was DUP and a day to spend with my Sister.
We stopped by the New Sew N Vac after we went to see the Mini Trees at the Marcus Whitman
I just happened to have my paint chips with me, and these fabrics followed me home.

Then we went by the Yard sale at the 'Old' Sew N Vac.
A Matinee showing was Next---"The Man Who Invented Christmas"
I need to use my Popcorn bucket a few more times this year.

My Spelling Bee Saturday had to wait for today also.
Letter Hh is for HERSHEY'S, HAPPY & HASHTAG
No automatic alt text available.

Stitching and CHOCOLATE make me Happy, a perfect pairing for this letter.

I'm still finding more Nativites in my boxes from the Closet...
Looking at them makes me Happy too!

It's been suggested that I make a note of each one- 
Who gave it to me, or where I got it and what year.
Janet O gave me a good idea HERE to make a New TAB on the Blog.  
Julie H shared her Christmas decor on her Blog HERE
That sounds fun too.

13 days until Christmas - 10 until I need to be ALL DONE with the Secret Stitching.
No Pictures of that on the Blog, lol
Wait till you see what I worked on for the Grandchildren between the Meetings and stuff.
