On Ringo Lake - Part One

This year I have decided to (try and) keep up with Bonny Hunter's latest Mystery.

There has been a lot of sidetracks,
distractions and....
unmovable obstacles
which have kept me from getting started on this new project.

And when I finally sat down to sew,
I found I had to blow the Dust Bunnies out of my 'old faithful' Pfaff Synchrotronic 1229, and give her a much needed Service.

When I need "Little Miss Reliable" this is the one I go to.


NO fancy Computer programming, I can turn her off - go have a cuppa
and when I come back - She is ready to roll!


So today, with the temperature outside hitting 37C (That's 98F), the errands done and Spike hiding in the coolest part of the house,  I buckled down and got the first clues completed.

All the Nine Patch Blocks - DONE!

Looking forward to Part 2.

It's beginning to feel like Christmas . . .

Strasbourg Christmas Market 2017

For many, Christmas Time starts when the decorations come into the stores

Or the Christmas Markets Open

Or when the Christmas Tree

Soaring above the Plaza

Lights up the Night Sky for the first time.

But for our Family the cry of Christmas is Coming happens when we see the First Blossoms burst from the Jacaranda Trees.

A Vision of Purple and Green on the Horizon.

Today I saw the first Colours of Christmas -

Time to Decorate!

Getting back into the Groove. .

Cricket on the Telly

a new Mystery on the Cutting Table 

Happy days!

Now - Will I be able to keep up

with

Bonny Hunter's 

On Ringo Lake

Happy Thanksgiving

For all my Friends and Readers in the USA

I hope you have had a very Happy Day.

When I look at this piece of fabric, 

a remnant of the first ever Quilt material I've bought.

 I am thankful that it took me into a Fellowship that spans the Globe.  

One that cuts through the barriers of Race and Colour and Language

 of Age and Experience.  

And I am thankful for the friends I have made.
