I was up early this morning (before six) but I got quite a bit done before it was time to head out to the bee. It didn’t go unnoticed by the group that I was sewing with my machine today; for the past several weeks (or maybe months) I’ve been hand stitching my Farmer’s Daughter blocks. There are a few birthdays (and cards) due in December so I made a start on them.

While I was stitching I made the comment that you knew it was a good day when the ripper didn’t need to come out of my toolbox until after lunch. And once it came out it seemed to be in use for the rest of the afternoon. I have three card tops finished and I moved on to a bonus Splendid Sampler block before things went so wrong I wasn’t able to recover from the error even with my ripper in hand. Only a couple of blocks will need to be redone but I didn’t have any spare fabric with me.

From there I moved on to my Medallion Mystery project. When I was at the retreat I was missing some fabric so I now have the final row done for the first week of clues. I made a start on clue two of my Christmas mystery but the day was over before I finished. I’m making 68 three-inch nine patches so it’s going to take awhile. Both mysteries are on the same schedule, currently at week four.

I picked up a deposit from this past weekend’s Cranberry Hall event. I have a showing at the Hall tomorrow so before supper I’ll get a deposit ready.
