On Ringo Lake

Three parts of  On Ringo Lake  were posted last week--one after another bam, bam and bam. To get a taste of how it will look, sections of Part 6 and Part 7 were put together. There are still  dog ears to trim and maybe even some color changes with some of the oranges.

Perhaps tomorrow more stitching will occur. Great idea for the beginning of 2018.


Pairing the geese.


Playing with the parts.



Happy New Year!

On Ringo Lake Part 5

Are you recovering from the holidays? Me too. But I did get my On Ringo Lake blocks finished. You can find details here:

On Ringo Lake Part 5




Some Christmas oddities brought out this year. First some placemats my mother-in-law made about 30 years ago. The colors weren't right at the time but now they are.


Here's the annoying singing cats. They sing Christmas carols by meowing.

On Ringo Lake Part 4

Why oh why did I miss the many previous year's mystery quilts. This has been fun, challenging and inspiring too. Definitely working out of my box and trying to stay current with the clues.

What am I talking about? Well, everyone in the quilting world is talking about this year's Quiltville  mystery quilt, On Ringo Lake.

The colors are amazing. Nice aquas/turquises, corals/oranges, browns and off whites.

Here are some of my stitching for this week.



Curious? Need directions? Go here for week four:


Lastly, in more ways than one. Here's my last eagle center for the Quilts of Valor quilts made by my group. I'll still work on other blocks and continue with the baby and children quilts for the naval hospital. I've probably made at least a  hundred and probably more. I just never kept count. The group made the other blocks and finished off the quilts.

On Ringo Lake, Part 3

Quiltvile's  mystery quilt has me really enjoying the process of quilting. Cut and piece, repeat from start. This is fun only a quilter can enjoy.

For Part 3 go to: Quiltville's On Ringo Lake Part 3

On Ringo Lake, Part Two


I've got a good start on my flying geese as part two of Bonnie Hunter's (Quiltville) Mystery Quilt.

You can get the directions at:

On Ringo Lake, Part 2

Bonnie has clearly detailed several ways to make the geese. However, I'd pick one method and stay with it. Quality control might find a few problems.

The world has stopped so I can stitch. What fun this has been. Come back next week to see what I do with the next clue.
