Raising Cane Finished!

We got the final clue to Raising Cane last night so I was able to finish it today.
It was a fun mystery and Dorthy gives great directions so it was quick and easy.


I am wondering where some of you take your pictures for your blogs? I just don't seem to have any place in my home that is suitable..I am never satisfied with the pictures I take.

Raising Cane

I had decided I wouldn't do any mystery quilts this year because of time limits....but I was bored today and needed to do some sewing.
I have been saving the steps to Raising Cane a Dorothy Young Mystery so I started today.
I used Christmas fabrics since I have collected so many.


I was able to get finished with clue 11 and have no idea what the quilt will look like when the blocks are put together..

We were supposed to choose a focus fabric and three other fabrics that went with it.
I am not so sure my choices were the best...they look better in person the colors are better.

I guess I will find out when it's all together.

Snow in Virginia


I was in Virginia helping my Daughter with the new baby and on the day I was supposed to come home they had a huge snow storm..
I am from Georgia and I think this is the most snow I had ever seen.
We measured 20 inches.
It was beautiful but delayed my trip home a few days.

Chez Moi Birthday Quilt




I just finished this quilt for my Daughter's Birthday. It's a free pattern from Moda called Chez Moi. I was a little disappointed in the weight of the quilt.. I used Minkee for the backing and the batting I choose was a little too heavy. I never know what kind of batting to use with Minkee.
Anyway it's finished... in the mail and I hope she likes it.
