Wednesday Weather #28, Clue #1 and a new project

Have you ever been in a blogging slump that you just can't drag yourself out of? While I worked at my fall seasonal job during my lunches I restricted my blogging to the bare bones. That job is 99.9% over but I haven't found my mojo just yet. I'll skip all the excuses and just say that here's a little catch up and hopefully that mojo will show up over the weekend...

46 - 40 - 35 - 46 - 40 - 33 - 53F

This is my missing rosette from last week. I had thought that the top right hexie would be another dark green, making a neat design for the colors but Mother Nature surprised me.

34 - 32 - 52 - 52 - 34 - 40 - 60F

And this was this week's weather. That yellow was a total surprise but let me tell you it was a great day for decorating our office building with a slight breeze and gorgeous clear blue skies.

I've added the sashing to 2 or three of these blue rosettes for Mickey's On The Road project. It dawned on me that I may not want to make the quilt as big as Mickey's so I'm trying to sash up all the finished blue rosettes so I can lay them out and see what I really have so far. I've got 2 more to add grey sashing and 3 or 4 to add white. It's a slow going process but great for watching DVDs. I'm currently watching Wayward Pines Season 1. It's got M. Night Shyamalan's name all over it. Love that guy.

I'm sure no one (Janet!?) is surprised to hear that I've started a new project and I "mustache" you if you like it??!!? LOL. Have you seen the new Brimfield Block papers from paperpieces.com? I was on a FART with Lisa last Friday and we just couldn't get over this Santa fabric so I pulled a couple FQs and just fell in love with this. I have yet to stitch this, saving it for after the bazaar I am doing this weekend. Actually, I always take a hexie project to work on at bazaars so maybe this will be the one...

And last, but not least, I did my Bonnie Mystery Clue #1 blocks last weekend. I'm am currently making half the needed blocks until I see the final layout and then I can decide exactly how many bits I need for a smaller quilt.

For anyone joining today from Bonnie's Mystery linky party - I host a weekly Wednesday Weather Report linky for anyone working on a weather quilt. We would love to have you join in our project - let me know if you would like details or check out this link.

Full Hexie Disclosure Project

Consider this a head's up on a hexie project I'm going to work on for the month of March. I'm still deciding how to do this project so I hope you won't hold it against me if anything changes as I go along.

A week or so ago, Janet was questioning just how many hexie UFOs I have. LOL.  I couldn't give her a number off the top of my head so I offered to send her a photo or I could do full disclosure and post it to my blog. She **immediately** jumped on full disclosure. I've thought of several ways to share photos of ALL the projects but I think I'm gonna go with the one that came to me this morning.

Exhibit A:

Yes, I made the picture small so MAYBE 
without your glasses you'll mistake how long the list is.

My computer list of UFOs, wishes, finished and WIPs. If it's hexie related it's on the list. I started this list months ago to set priorities for finishing (or starting?) projects and it's really helped.

Don't anyone ask how long the UFO list is of all my non-hexie projects cuz I'll never answer - I have no desire to know.


Exhibit B:

My quilt lab is a disaster - I'm working on several projects at once (you knew that, right?!) and there is fabric to put away and scraps to trim and I just got 2 quilts back from a show and I'm cutting more batiks for twisted hexies and I am trying to organize and...and...and...

My goal will be to work my way around the room to organize it better. Oh, stop laughing!!! I'll share photos of hexie projects as I work my way around the room and I'll check them off the list as I go. If I find anything not on the list I'll add it and I'll make any other changes I discover. I'll eventually incorporate the pictures to my hexiology tab which has been long neglected.

I'm not sure where I'm gonna start tonight...any requests? Janet?
Curio cabinet? Design wall? Cutting mat? Ironing board? Coffee table? Chair? Drawer stack? Bookshelf?

Be gentle!!!
