More Beautiful Quilts from Road. 

One of my favorite exhibits was the Anniversary of Route 66 exhibit. Below are just a few of the quilts on display.

I am back to working on the BH Mystery quilt, Lupin and Laughter. All laid out on my floor and ready to sew blocks and rows together.

I am keeping busy in my sewing room, how about you?

My second Block for Lupine and Laughter is in the works this week, along with sewing the border pieces. Hope I can get that far.

Next week, Sandi and I will be off to Road To California Quilt Show.  The quilt above is from one of the classes we will be taking, " When perfect isn't the point". I will be working on cutting out all the pieces for this one.  We are also taking a Tiny Piecing class, which I am looking forward to . We will also participate in Preview Night and have plenty of time for shopping. Looking forward to this trip.

Have a great week!

Clue 7.

Clue 7 of the BH Mystery Quilt, was cut out yesterday and all sewn today while watching some football. It feels good to be all caught up and ready for Friday's Clue. Hopefully we will be putting all the units together and have a quilt top soon. It will be my first finish for 2026.

Clue 7 complete!

My Stash Report will continue for 2026 and I hope to have used a bit more that the 56 yards for 2025. I will need to go on a fabric diet this year, but with R2CA coming up in a few weeks, it is going to be a hard diet to stick to.

Happy first week of 2026!
