January OMG 2018 Update

Posted on January 26, 2018 | 14 comments

True to myself, I am sewing ever so slowly.

I thought my day job was going to cut my work hours, but, alas, not so.  That means no blissfully sewing my days away.

My January goal  was to work on my version of Bonnie Hunter’s On Ringo Lake mystery quilt.

I have completed all of the components, so I am a happy girl.

All 50 blocks are sewn!

The sashing is also done!

And the setting side and corner triangles are completed.

I have even managed to begin piecing the top!

RSC18 and ORL

Posted on January 10, 2018 | 3 comments

When I saw the Squared Away Sampler project for  RSC18 at So Scrappy, I knew that I wanted to participate.

The rainbow scrap color for January is light to medium blue.  I am using my 1-1/2″ fabric strips to create my sampler block.  I am making three 5″ blocks.

Here they are, laid out and ready to sew:

What’s that under the sampler blocks?

Oh yeah…it is Bonnie Hunter’s ORL (On Ringo Lake) mystery.  I have been working on it slow and steady.

Clues 1 to 6 are finished.  I am loving this project!

January OMG 2018

Posted on January 2, 2018 | 10 comments

I let myself get distracted by Bonnie Hunter’s On Ringo Lake mystery.  It is a good distraction!

Bonnie helps me to overcome my fondness to pet my fabric and actually use it!

She also helps me to look at color/value in new ways!

And I learn new-to-me methods for rotary cutting.

I enjoy the social media fellowship of many, many other quilters working Bonnie’s mystery, too!

Win-win!

I am also happy that Patty, at Elm Street Quilts, is continuing OMG (One Monthly Goal) in 2018.

OMG provides me with accountability and motivation to make progress on projects, and sometimes I even have a finish!

My work hours should be less in January, so my goal is to turn On Ringo Lake into a flimsy.

I have clues 1 & 2 done, as well as 3 & 4.

Clue 5 is in progress.
