Clue 3 and plugging away....
I tried 3 times drawing, measuring, sewing, and cutting before obtaining the bonus half square triangle to measure as Bonnie suggested. I got it now, I just have to cut out a bit more to make up for the smaller pieces. Just 3 sets, not too bad if I say so myself.
I traded out my Singer 201 and brought out another Singer vintage machine out to play...she is lovely and just like the 201, she sews a beautiful straight stitch and also many built in decorative stitches and cams. I purchased her from a local quilt shop in New Mexico along with her cabinet and chair for $125! What a bargain! Inside, I found many bobbins, needles, oil, lamps, and extra pressure feet. I did make a change and removed the light and replaced her with the 'chipped' led light.
Here are my pieces of green, green, and green. I am loving the color selection.
I am still working on this clue set. I have about 1/3 of the way to go. I do have to admit that I am still working on clue 1, but I did finish clue 2!
Come and join me here at Bonnie's Quiltville. Here's where you can open and upload your set of clues. https://quiltville.blogspot.com/2018/12/mystery-monday-link-up-part-3.html
I am dividing my time between knitting a sweater on my 'incredible sweater machine' and the Good Fortune clues. I am on the second sleeve of the sweater and should be finished this week, possibly another evening should do it. Using the knitting machine makes it quicker. I am struggling with using the knitting plate as it doesn't glide as fluid as the original Bond knitting machine (in storage in New Mexico), but I am learning to work with its quirkiness.
