Update Australian Mystery Quilt

My good friend and Mystery Quilt designer Marj O'Hara sent along this picture of me with my MQ completed quilt top from class on Dec 28. Yes that's me with my Team Canada jersey cheering on our Juniors. They played great games and sorry they didn't get the gold...but at least they got to play hockey.

I have some plans for a more involved finish than just a plain border. Stand by for those updates.

Australian Mystery Quilt and Christmas cont'd

the fun just does not stop for me. I am into day two of my mystery quilt class at Central Sewing with Marj O'Hara.  I am using a collection of fat quarters my friend Douglas brought me from Australia...years ago. I have my 20 blocks made and will now spend day 3 stringing the blocks together into a top.  Jury is still out on whether or not there will be more blocks (a border-less quilt is my preference over borders).

After class I was delighted that my children were all together at Cyndi's, who this spring has bought a house on Candy Cane Lane. This is a really big deal in this town. We had Christmas dinner together and then went for a walk and run on the Lane.

With family living either south or west of Edmonton, and now Larry gone to Fort MacMurry it is wonderful to have them together.
