Chilhowie is a Flimsy! from The Modern Diary

I do not remember if I mentioned we finally got a new dog.  Meet Lady.  She is supposedly three, but we are not buying it.  She has a bit more energy than we expected but otherwise fits in nicely.  She loves Kathy!
Last Thursday I spent eight hours getting Chilhowie's center done.  Managed to get the border on too.  All the matching pieces were not my favorite, but it looks nice.
Yesterday was Kathy and I's eighteenth anniversary. She brought me roses!  
Today I completed the Chilhowie top.  Super happy with it and so excited to get it ...

Rainbow Scrap Challenge for February and More! from The Modern Diary

My daughter got me this book for Christmas after I watched a documentary on an octopus.  The book was good and Hazel liked the cover so I had to teach her the sign for octopus and show her the one from the documentary.

                                            

I finished up R Trail!  And took a photo of the Attic Stars mystery...all wrinkled already!

Read and listened to "The Storyteller." And read and skim read the PPMS book.
The UFO number for this month was 7.  So I am adding another row onto my Wild and Goosey!  Honk honk!
The color for Febrary is ...

Books and Progress on Two Mystery Quilts from The Modern Diary

My advent book box finally arrived.  I decided to go ahead and read one story and open one gift a day.  So far I have opened these:
Day two was sheer-ish drapes with book quotes on them.  I did not take a picture apparently.  So far story two was the best.  I have not read today's yet.
I decided to do the booktube spin publicly this time.  Here are my twenty books for all the pulls this year (or at least the start list...as books get read they will get replaced).  They pulled two numbers and I got ...

Mystery Progress and the Start of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge! from The Modern Diary



I started my Rainbow Scrap Challenge for 2022!  I am doing Bonnie Hunter's Log Cabin Love in Quiltmaker but took out the HST in the center and put in a square.  I forgot how crazy these can be to sew.  I remember Bonnie's tip that you should always sew over two seams when you add a log.  I did a little unsewing and decided next month I will be labeling them in order of how they go...I do not like that the magazine labeled two with each letter so you have to figure out which color goes ...

Progress on Three Mysteries and My Favorite Books of the Year! from The Modern Diary

New Year's Eve (New Year's Day in New Zealand where Debi from mysteryquiltsanonymous.com lives) Barb and I started sewing around 2 PM my time.  Hazel was here and napping so I managed to get through clue one before she woke up.  Clue two was a SLOG since Hazel wanted to be near me (Bumpa had the day off and tried to entertain but she is used to me being with her and wanted to see what was happening in the room next to her) and we had to make fourteen blocks total for the clue!   

After Hazel ...
