Limbania55 OFFLINE Posts: 673 Thank you received: 7	So good to see your smiley face Marilyn! Hot potato : that's good Renata! Ay ay ay! If you ladies could see the gorgeous photo I received, as a sneak pick, of the marvelous piece coming in the mail... Can you see the gears turning and some smoke starting to appear? Lots of thinking and planning here. I was even dreaming about it last night :shock: :shock: :shock:

Go on, Marilyn when isn't it quilt season?

Great new photo, is it for DH to remember what you look like from the front

Reminds me of a story I was told about Huntin' Duck. (in a laid back hill-billy american accent)

Some 'Good 'ole Boys' go to their sheriff and say
'Look Sheriff, we here have been duputised to come to you to ask for another month to shoot duck'
'Another month to shoot duck you say'
'Yep, me and the boys we want another month to shoot duck!'
'What-chou gonna call it?'
'Pardon?'
'Well boys, seeing as you already shoot duck 12 months of the year, if you wants another month to shoot duck, what-chou gonna call it?'

Well...I prob'ly shouldn't have started the mystery quilt but had tripped over some stash that would work... and couldn't resist ! That's why my UFO pile is so high ! Spools are staring at me , too. And the batik one, half quilted ! This IS quilting season for me !! And Thanks, everybody !

Congratulations Marilyn! Is the new profile to suggest that you don't know whether you are coming or going after coming up for air?

So glad you are done and on to Easy Street - not much of a mystery about that one now.

I hope you enjoy doing it. I have downloaded all the instructions but with the TQS BOM still not done and an avalanche of applique to do on my WotRott quilt, to name but two, I don't know if I will ever get around to it. But I do love Bonnie Hunter's method of making flying geese using the easy angle and companion rulers. Brilliant!

Renata OFFLINE Posts: 2673 Thank you received: 260	Marilyn, what a great photo--you look so relaxed and happy! You know, flannel and mulled wine are quite fashionable in cold weather, especially now that you shipped the hot potato off to Limbania!

idaho OFFLINE Posts: 2531 Thank you received: 183	Well, Wendy..not really early..but on time ! Let's say that is the door to my sewing room and I'm on my way to" Easy Street" ( that is the Quiltville Mystery Quilt ) !! In this weather, flannel and fleece are the order of the day for not-so-fashionable wear ! Now I wait ! for 2014 !

OK all you Whisperers out there !! I've made it !! My quilt is done and will go out to Limbania today !!

What a process it has been ! Trepidation and panic , followed by thoughtful hours :shock: and finally some inspiration...
And then...seeing if I could execute the plan !

and by my deadline ! :shock: I have enjoyed every minute of
it, too !

Now I get to listen to the rest of you and wait and wait and wait !

On another note..wow is it cold ! -13 F ( Oh, sure ! others may be colder ! ) but I'm just glad we can keep the H20 running!
May get a change next week ! I'm thinkin' even Limbania had some uncommon cold last couple of weeks ...guess
it's all relative ! Now on to the projects-in-waiting !!!!

I love your new picture as well Marilyn, very relaxed. Was this after the quilt was finished
