Easy Street Part 4

Bonnie published clue #4 early this morning!  It was about 2:00am at my house when it showed up.  I read the entire post twice before I finally called it a night. After I got up and made a pot of coffee, I got out my stack of purple and aqua fabrics and went to work on them.  I enjoyed the flying geese we had in part 2,  and was glad to be able to do some in different colors.  I really appreciated the demo that Bonnie did for showing us how to use the Easy Angle and Companion rulers to make them real easy.  The other thing I like is there is no wasted fabric!



Quilt Cam was a nice session tonight.  Bonnie introduced us to her newest baby, Freckles.  She drove 80 miles north to Virginia to bring home what she called "the fastest, most smooth sewing 301 I have ever come across!"  It was miss-listed as a 1970 vintage Singer model 756 and they only wanted $29 for it. Freckles is a very fast machine.  She's got a beautiful voice and was fun to listen to!  Anyway, back to my work on Clue #4.  I finished up the purple & aqua flying geese units and have started combining them with some of purple & black on white units.


I had finished up combining the geese and was working on cutting the 145 3-1/2” squares from my green fabric when my helper, Popeye, decided it was time for me to take a break and give him some tummy rubs.


So, I took a short break and spent some time enticing him off of my sewing area by giving him just what he wanted. He just loves walking all over whatever I happen to be working on.  I got back to cutting my greens and I've finished with the tasks for Clue #4!

  7. They all look great Tami! It feels good to be keeping up with the pace. I'm loving the 3 1/2" consistent block, I hope that pays off in the completion steps.

  8. Tami, thanks for stopping by and visiting my blog :)
    I think it was your blog post/picture that made me sit up and notice that you had "green" in the picture. I had one of thos UH OH moments and yanked my instructions out read and re read them and then finally found the instructions to cut the green squares.
    I am working on my Designer Mystery block tonight and then I'll start cutting :)
    Can't wait for Friday :)
    I'm obsessed :)
