Old Town Mystery, Part Three!

Hello, Quiltvillians!

I have written this post ahead so it will post while I am in England.

Please note that I have limited access to wifi and internet connection may not be available for me as we travel place to place on our Craftours adventure.

I return home late on December 9th - so if there are any problems with the PDF or instructions, please know that I will take care of things as I get my feet back under me.

I saved a part with just fewer units for this week so if you need to sit this one out, it will be easy to catch up later.

Are you falling in love with Poland as much as I did on my first visit there? I am so excited that so many of Polish heritage are joining in on this mystery quilt - it means so much to see them here.

What a rich culture, and resilient history even in the face of so much adversity in the past.

Old Town Mystery Part Two!

It's Black Friday!
I hope everyone in the USA (And those outside who celebrate Thanksgiving) had a wonderful day with family, friends, furry favorites.
And even if you were alone by circumstance or choice, I am so glad that you are back here with me again today to move on into Part Two of our Old Town mystery.
We spent the day with our son Jeff and his extended family - and today as this posts I am on the way to New York to begin my Craftours holiday adventure to England.
I'll be keeping tabs on things while I am in England and Part Three will post while I am traveling.
If there are any hiccups, I hope you will just take a back seat and relax and know that I'll take care of things when I get back home.
Click to view All My Tours and join me in my 2025 line up to discovering the crafts, culture and cuisine of Iceland in June, a celebration of quilting & textiles in France, Germany & Switzerland in September, and the treasures of a Bavarian/Austrian Christmas in December.
In January of 2026 we'll be somewhere warm with an exclusive arts & crafts experience in Morocco followed by the culture, crafts and traditions of Romania in June. September 2026 has us exploring all the quilting inspirations of India. I am so excited about this whole line up over the next couple of years and I hope you'll join me.
Space is limited, and there is an early booking discount if you reserve your spot before Jan 1, 2025. Don't miss out!

Thanksgiving, 2024

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
Whether you are in the USA and celebrate today, or an American outside of the USA who is longing for home and remembering Thanksgivings past, or anyone else out there going about their day to day lives where this is not a celebrated holiday - I'm grateful for you!
I was thinking about what to write today, and I think I'm going to keep it simple and sweet.
I originally came online to check on tomorrow's Old Town Part Two post to make sure it is ready to go tomorrow morning, and thought I'd just peep in and say hello.

Hexie Dilemmas.

When do you get to the point where you are so invested in a project, that even if it is becoming more of a challenge than you first thought - you continue to plod through even if you aren't super pleased that what you saw in your head really isn't working?

I reached that point last night.

This hexie design that I graphed out is almost like setting a quilt together on-point.
