It's been a very quiet holiday weekend with the family. The Scientist in Training has been home and we've been hanging out together. She and My Guy spent most of Sunday working in the kitchen together. As a result dinner was topped off with homemade butterscotch bourbon ice cream (it's definitely adult ice cream) and I get home made cinnamon rolls for breakfast this morning. While they played in the kitchen, I got to play in the sewing room.
I've been doing some clean up and put away in addition to stitching, so not as much progress on the sewing front. But the sewing room really did need a bit of a straighten up. There has been progress on Daisy Chain, but I didn't get a picture of it. There's been visible progress on Unity.

The first step 4 border is finished and sewn on. The second border is almost half way constructed. These bigger blocks are much faster to make then those little ones in step 3.
Clue 3 came out for the Morewood Mystery quilt last Thursday. Clue 1 and Clue 2 were the fabric requirements and the cutting instructions respectively. I'm a cut as you go kinda gal, so I didn't cut the fabrics for clue 3 till Friday. But before cutting I needed to decide which fabrics were A, B, C and D.

I've got all month to finish this clue, so I'm working in a couple HSTs with the stitching on Unity and Daisy Chain.
I'm hoping for one more day of pretty much nothing but stitching today. We'll see. My Guy is already off for a bike ride and the SIT is still sleeping. She said last night she planned to work on a lab report and finish reading a chapter for one of her classes today before she heads back to school late this afternoon. She won't get another break till Thanksgiving. So there should be some time for stitching today.
Linking up with Monday Making and Design Wall Monday.
Unity is looking great! The friendship stars really add a lot. Love your fabrics for the Morewood Mystery!
ReplyDeleteYour latest border for Unity is wonderful! The ice cream and cinnamon rolls sound yummy! Enjoy your day off, Kate.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on Unity... I must get back to mine!
ReplyDeleteYour fabrics for the mystery are pretty. It should be another fun mystery project.
It sounds like a very cozy way to spend the weekend and day with family. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteUnity is very striking. I think the friendship star is one of my favorite quilt blocks.
ReplyDeleteIt's actually restful to see a Bonnie-quilt done in less-than-scrappy style. Nice colorway! The ice cream sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteHappy Labor(less) Day! DH and I make Harvey's Surprise, a chocolate ice cream laced liberally with Irish Cream. I don't remember why we didn't call it Bailey's Surprise. We served it at a church crankin' and said "ID required."
ReplyDeleteYour Unity is so striking! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThey are both looking good.... cinnamon rolls...., yummmmm
ReplyDeleteLucky you to have cooks' assume the dinner, dessert, breakfast preparations. I like your choices for the Morewood Mystery. It's cooled off somewhat, so I finally got started on sandwiching a baby quilt that is long overdue. Baby is 9 months old and I've been feeling very guilty.

Nice progress, Kate!
ReplyDeleteUnity is making great progress. I finally decided there was no way I should add another quilt to my plate. So, I'll save Morewood and if I need a pattern consider it then. I'm looking forward to your progress on that. Hope all is well with you all. Are fires close to you? And, why do I think you live in CA?
ReplyDeleteI missed making the Unity quilt but bought the pattern and plan to make it "one of these days". Love your color combo.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful weekend - glad you had family time, sewing time, and clean up time - all good for the soul!
