I enjoy all of the celebrations of December: Eggnog. Mistletoe. The annual Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt.
As soon as the Thanksgiving dishes are put away, I look for Bonnie's first clue. My husband knows this. My children know this. My mother-in-law knows this too and asks, "Are you going to do that thing where you cut fabric into a lot of little pieces again this year?" Why, yes I am!
This week's hint was to make gray and white half-square triangles. Lots and lots of them. Like 294 or something. I have 90 done:
Must. Sew. Faster.
While I am thinking about my Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt, I am remembering last year's mystery, Grand Illusion. What I'm remembering is that I never finished it:
I found these pieces in a basket, but I don't have the pattern. Thankfully, Bonnie sells the digital download on her website. Even more fortunately, it is on sale until December 4.
Must. Buy. Now.
So not only am I starting this year's mystery, I'm now re-starting last year's mystery. By January 1, I will have sewn my fingers to the bone!
