Winter.

Winter is here, it is cold, snowy, rainy, icy and super windy. Sitting indoors is only a small option, we have to go out to run errands and so much more. Walking with icers on our boots helps us to not slip on the ice!
Monday while waiting at an appointment, some knitting got done. February RSC25 colour is blue, so perfect for this sock.
Mystery quilts is the stash busting effort for this year, one blue one and one scrappy one. Need to add a dark blue for the blue one. All the other scraps are in a rubbermaid, larger leftover pieces from Bargello quilts over the years.
The oops (made it the wrong size for Old Town Mystery) blocks with the green square in a square, the flying geese trimmed pieces was used to create triangle squares. Also had too many squares for the four patch units. What to do with them? Played a bit and then created two block units. They need to be assembled, before they can be sewn into a new design.
More hand quilting has happened on the quilt currently in the hoop.
A belated Christmas present arrived in the mail this past week.

    1. No, but I am going to do Cory Yoder 2025 Mystery quilt along with those scraps. The blue one is on the Cape of Good Hope Quilters website. Superbowl mystery?

  2. Yikes! I live in the southwestern part of the U.S., so I’ve never heard of icers on boots, but I’m glad you are able to use something to be safe in the snow! Your snow-people are precious! Love how you framed them. Such pretty yarn! Looks like you’re well on your way to stash busting for sure! How pretty is that bunny and her fabric! Happy stitching!
