New Years Day Mystery Quilt 2013 Finished!

This was a good weekend for finishing another quilt. I finally got the binding on the New Years Day Mystery Quilt 2013. I do like the quilt, I am not thrilled with my quilting work however due to the skipped stitches and constant thread breaking.


I will get better though.


Last night a strong storm came in again. I don't know what the deal is this summer with the thunder and lightning storms.

Emile is the only one in the house that will actually hide, but then he still wants to watch from under the bed because he is sure he is missing something like little birds in puddles.


It is much cooler and rainy out today. This is my last week before another quarter starts so I am making the most of it. I did some more quilting this morning and I am sure Nim and I will take a walk today even if it is rainy.

    I love how your quilt turned out. Enjoy your last week of break. I hope the weather cooperates so you can get out as often as you want.

    We are lucky that so far neither Millie or Walter react at all to thunder storms. It's a good thing I grew up and got over my fear so I don't reflect it to them. When I was a kid I used to be terrified of storms, but now I just find the noise annoying. LOL!

      I have been pretty lucky in the dogs and storms department. Cats can be a different matter. Sometimes the noise is so loud you can't hear the TV or music or something like that...that can be annoying.

      I have been sewing a lot but it is supposed to get nice again for a couple of days here so that will be nice.

    I love the quilt! So what are your plans for this one?

    Poor Emile. My Lucas would be in my closet.

      Hi there! I will contact you to see if you think this is still a quilt your sister would like. It would be a donation quilt probably but I would love it to have someone really want it and enjoy it. :)

    I think it looks fabulous!!! You should be sure to send a copy of it to Janet to put in with the others. I like how the backgrounds on half of the blocks are lighter, as it makes the quilt really pop :)

      Thank you! I will. I had done it last year but I don't know if she ever got it or not. I really liked this one and it ended up getting a good home which makes me even more happy. I feel lucky that both mystery quilts have come out well.
