I put aside my other projects to get started with the 2017 Flower Block of the Month with Leah Day.  A lot of quilters have finished their version and I'm getting started with mine.  I purchased the patterns each month, but I didn't get the chance to work and start piecing.  I like how the blocks are coming together. 
I have to work on quilting the sashing which are quilted blocks and also the quilted cornerstones. 

I've been trying to catch up with my quilting.   I joined the Christmas Goose block of the month and stitched and pieced together the first set.  These are 6".  I really like the colors.  I'm glad I selected this colorway. 

I've been sewing round the clock to catch up on Bonnie Hunter's latest mystery quilt, the 'On Ringo Lake' mystery.  I sure love the colors and worked alongside my sister-in-law while she sewed on her modified log cabin bag.  She finished it and just to see that look of satisfaction; it warms my heart that the quilting bug has struck again.  She did an awesome job.
For Christmas, we gave her the fabrics and pattern along with lessons.  The pattern is a great one from Lynn.  (The pattern can be found at Quilted Dragon in Pahrump, NV)

Here are my pictures of the pieces for 'on ringo lake' mystery.  I used my Singer 401a and boy, does she sew like a dream.  I also used my Viking Designer 1 and also my Singer 201.

 

I have two blocks finished!  Whoo hoo!  Aren't they so colorful?  I love this mystery.
