And here is the Allietare Quilt Clue 5!

And those VERY LARGE PIECES are finally being used. On the top are my Allietare pieces and on the bottom are my Christmas Allietare pieces!

I would LIKE to say that I am finished but other projects intervened!

And then there were three scarves and a face cloth (knitted – not quilted!!)

Oh , and did I mention that in addition to all of the Christmas activities, I enjoyed a VERY EXCITING MOVIE! Can you guess which one? The photo below is a hint – from the FAR AWAY PAST!

Allietare Clue 4 Bonnie K. Hunter Quiltville Mystery 2015

Posted By drsao on December 21, 2015

Another week of fun includes working on Clue 4 of Bonnie K. Hunter’s Quiltville Mystery 2015. It took me TWO ENTIRE DAYS to cut out the pieces needed for Clue 4 of this quilt (remember I am making two – the Allietare and Christmas Allietare.)

Here are just a few photos of my progress on Clue 4. I love my variety of red and black fabrics – my neutrals are very plain – mostly cream colored with some white on white or cream on cream detail. The excitement mounts as we wonder, dream, and imagine how these pieces are going to fit together to become another Bonnie masterpiece!

Allietare Clue 3 Bonnie K. Hunter Quiltville Mystery 2015

Posted By drsao on December 14, 2015

Another wonderful group of blocks are made and are just waiting patiently to find their special place in this year’s Quiltville Mystery!

I am making two mystery quilts – Allietare and Christmas Allietare. In the Christmas Allietare I have substituted green for the gray in Bonnie’s suggested color scheme. However in BOTH of my quilts there is the antique gold and scrappy neutrals. So I did what you might call DOUBLING YOUR PLEASURE THIS WEEK….I made not 120 four patches but 240….and I cut not 36 big rectangles – but 72. COLOR ME HAPPY!

So here are my photos of this week’s happenings!

Clue 3 Allietare and Christmas Allietare

Clue 3 Allietare and Christmas Allietare (More four patches!)

And finally – here are my 72 neutral rectangles! I am wondering where these will be placed in the quilt…..could they be a border? We will just have to wait and see. This is why mysteries are SO MUCH FUN.

Allietare Clue 2 Bonnie K. Hunter Quiltville Mystery 2015

Posted By drsao on December 6, 2015

Here we go – Clue 2 for the Allietare Mystery Quilt! I think I must have set a NEW RECORD because while working on Clue 2 I had NOT ONE – but TWO Featherweights bite the dust. Hopefully it is not a terminally thing but it did require moving on to a third machine to accomplish this clue! Here is part of Clue 2! I am at a loss for why the photo is sideways or why the entire photo didn’t load – but I suspect it is because I switched to Windows 10 because this has NEVER happened before. Don’t you love it when new things HAPPEN!

Allietare Clue 2

And since I am making two of Bonnie’s mystery, here is clue 2 of my Allietare Christmas.

Clue 2 Christmas Allietare

And finally here are a couple of my Christmas Allietare Clue 1 that I didn’t include in my post last week!

Clue 1 Christmas Allietare

I know you will want to see what other people – all over the world – are doing – so here is the link to view CLUE 2!

Allietare Clue 1 Bonnie K. Hunter Quiltville Mystery 2015

Posted By drsao on November 30, 2015

Bonnie K Hunter has launched her yearly Quiltville winter mystery 2015 – Allietare! This design is inspired by her recent quilt trip Italy. Allietare means to become cheerful or to gladden – so I am sure this is going to be a good one!

As always I am making two – one to keep and one to gift. Here are my color choices! The first photo is of my Christmas Allietare and the second one is my Allietare. THANKS BONNIE HUNTER FOR THIS WONDERFUL GIFT.

Allietare – Winter Mystery 2015

Clue 1 is now finished for my Allietare! Clue 1 for my Christmas Allietare 1 is cut out but not yet finished. It will be finished by the time that Clue 2 comes out Friday!
