Friday ??? no finishes
On this first Friday of 2023, I don’t have any finishes … however, I do have many things partially done …

My Stay at Home Round Robin is close to being finished … but of course, I can’t show you until March … but you can watch my progress, starting January 16!
Would you be interested to know that we have several awesome sponsors and will be giving away prizes when the SAHRR is over??? So make sure you join us for the fun!
Bonnie Hunter Mystery
This is her latest mystery quilt. Chilhowie with Island Batik fabrics! I’m all caught up except for the clue and reveal that came out today. If you’ve ever done a Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt, you know that it involves a LOT of little pieces and can be quite time consuming. The first picture is the blocks in progress and the 2nd picture is the blocks as they are today. Now, I just need to do the final steps!


One who sleeps under a quilt is covered by LOVE!
Happy Quilting!
Gail

Hi Gail, your Bonnie Hunter Mystery quilt is looking great – love those fabrics! Congrats on being an Island Batik Ambassador. You are going to be busier than ever. Thanks for linking up to Free Motion Mavericks and the best of luck with your 2023 projects (including your SAHRR- I may be participating if I can come up with a small centre block!) Take care.

Oh Andrée, I’m always busy!! I hope you can come up with a centre block! Do you have any orphan blocks? Some people use them as their starting point!
Happy Quilting! 🙂
