So many things over the past two weeks have caused us to interrupt our plans and adjust our schedule. Suffice it to say that not much quilting has happened here. I have the first two steps of Celtic Solstice sewn and stopped halfway through the clue three’s pinwheels.
Truly it is a pressing pause. I need to finish Christmas preparations and I have a pile of patchwork waiting on the ironing board including the strip sets for clue four.
Here is a sample of my first two clues. I still need to finish pressing clue two and do a parts count. I have a feeling that I am short a few, which is not a problem as I can build them as leader/enders next week.
. More quilters are showing off their progress at Quiltville’s link up.
Christmas festivities lead to more travel time so Little Miss has helped me to pack up my hexies. She is becoming an expert at inspecting my work. I have two more flowers done for row seven bringing the total to four.
Part of our personal pause is a result of funerals in our circle. And I’m missing my grandmother. So for those who are grieving, I’m right with you. As Christmas is a few days away let me share this encouragement – look to the Light.
Matthew 4:16
the people who sat in darkness
have seen a great light.
And for those who lived in the land where death casts its shadow,
a light has shined.”
Merry Christmas.
Grandmas live forever in our hearts…lost mine 26 years ago and still remember everything about her and miss her! Your mystery is looking good too!
That little one looks like a future quilter!
I hope you have had a lovely Christmas with the upcoming generations, while mourning the passing of the previous ones.
Your units look great. Looks like you got a good little helper. Sorry for your loss.
