Hello Quilty Friends! Bonnie hit us with an extra clue this week. The clue was sets of matching half square triangles (HST's). After completing the HST's on Christmas morning, it was time to have a little fun and stage all the clues in my Christmas train.
I was like a child with a new toy. Santa was ready to leave the station as his Foxy conductor shouted
"All Aboard to Quiltville"
If you're not familiar with Bonnie, her blog is called Quiltville. The FREE Old Town Mystery Quilt tab can be found near the top of her blog.
Below is the HST's for this week's surprise clue. Of course, I had to use some of the newest low volume fabric acquisitions to this batch of HST's. Can you spy the new fabric? Hint...flowers.
Remember the triangles I saved just in case they could be used in later clues? I could have used some of the larger triangles in this clue. But sorting through them for the ones that were usable was too tedious. All new triangles were cut for this clue.
It's Christmas Day, only fun is allowed! Tedious sorting...not fun. Cutting new cute fabric...FUN! Trains and shiny ornaments...FUN!
I wish there was a place in my sewing room to display this for a few days but there isn't. It was staged on my cutting table, enjoyed for a short while then disassembled. BOOHOO. Oh well it was fun for a while. Maybe next Christmas.
You are doing well keeping up with the clues. The train is really cute, happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I love your Christmas train. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYou've used such pretty colors for this year's mystery. I'm jealous, you'e done so well at keeping up. I'm still way behind!
ReplyDeleteLea Anne, those “low volume” prints are my favorites and that new floral one of yours is sew sweet! ;-). I always love seeing what you’re working on. Happy Holidays!
