Mystery Monday Link Up and Design Wall Monday

What do you do after Christmas?

I sew. And sew and sew.

Did you know neutrals are my favorite color? 

How fun to spot my picture as part of Bonnie's collage!!

First I needed to finished clue #5 for Good Fortune.

I really like making this block.

I can't wait to see where it lives in this quilt.

I learned something while removing pages from my phone book.

I didn't knew there was a reverse directory in it. 

I had to look for my own phone number.

Bonnie suggests only working on 2 pages at a time.

I wanted to try 3 just for the heck of it.

It blew up in my face pretty fast.

2 pages sewn together meant the tape and the scalpel seam ripper came out.

That blade wouldn't cut melted butter so it had to be changed.

I love the removable Scotch tape for paper repair.

It doesn't get sticky and gunky when it's ironed.

Of course I don't apply the iron to the tape, 

only to the fabric.  

Like everyone else that is working on Good Fortune,

I cannot wait for the next clue. 

Next up this week will be cutting into some of these lovely sweater knits. 

I figure if I cut it out, it will get sewn up faster.

Pieces have been matched to the patterns.

Crossing my fingers for a new top or 2 this week.
