I finally got the quilt top for the Magnolia Mystery Quilt finished. I didn't tinker with the layout or border, and am quite happy with the result. The Quilt Along has a February deadline - so before then (but not until after the holidays) I will start figuring out how to quilt this, especially the broad swaths of negative space. White thread, yellow thread, turquoise, all three? Lots of possibilities to consider. I think this has a clean, modern feel to it, and I plan to keep that feel with the quilting. Stay tuned.
I also went to the holiday party for one of my quilt guilds, which also involved the receipt of a Secret Santa hand crafted gift. Lucky me, I received this beautiful bag crafted by Pam Wilde. Beautiful fabrics, beautiful piecing and quilting, and it was full of little sewing goodies. I think it is the perfect size to be a traveling bag (or next to the couch bag) for my never-ending hexie project, and will hold my little light, too. I can't wait to get it all packed up.
