Happy Monday!

I have a few things to share this Monday evening.  The main thing is that I'm so proud of my daughter, Hailey, for finishing her first quilt top.  She did an amazing job from start to finish!  The pattern is one of mine, so I'm truly honored by that.  And while it was initially created for pre-cut strips, she found all of her fabrics from my stash and cut them herself.  I love eye for color and I love that it is so different from mine!  

I also want to talk about the Blessings of Abraham mystery quilt.  I am finally able to show the results from the first three clues.  I really wish I could show you the top.  Only a few have seen it, but all have been pleased with the finished product.  IF you are wanting to participate and haven't yet, please know that each of the clues are relatively small and are only posted once a week, so it wouldn't be hard to catch up.  But even that isn't really an issue... this quilt will remain on the is blog, free of charge, forever (or while blogs still exist).  Start it when you want, take your time, my only real suggestion is to not look ahead...don't spoil the surprise for yourself.

Finally, where I am at on my Ostrich Challenge, other than behind.  I painstakingly finished sewing all of the braiding down.  It wasn't too bad except for all the starts and stops.  This next round should be a great deal faster and easier.  The challenge was in deciding what to do.  I'm really excited to see what this next part will add to the whole thing.
