A Bit of This and That

Weekends, even three days one, go pretty fast. The Scientist in Training was home for fall break this weekend.  We did some shopping for black and gold party wear for a themed event we attended Saturday night and some shoe shopping. It was a fun weekend of hanging out and just being together.  

I did get in some sewing room time, mainly yesterday after the SIT headed back to college.  The biggest achievement was getting all the rows of Twinkle Star blocks stitched together.

I'm really happy with how this one is going together.  I need to ramp up my efforts if it's going to get done before Christmas. 

The last stitches were put into clue 2 of the Mosaic Mystery.

Now I'm ready for clue 3 when it comes out.  I'm pretty happy with how my fabrics are working out.   

Vintage Dresses is in the process of being bound and the first half of clue 3 for the 2019 Christmas is cut out ready for assembly.  So overall it was a pretty productive weekend.  

Linking up with the usual Monday show and tell linky parties:  Monday Making and Design Wall Monday.  Also linking up over at Meadow Mist Designs for the clue 2 linky party.

You really did get a lot done especially if most of the weekend was enjoyed with family. I love those twinkle stars. I'm postponing working on any of my RSC blocks probably until after Christmas. I seem to be in a bit of a slump although I am down working in the studio several days a week. Sigh. Congratulations on getting so much done.
