What is on my Design Floor and Linky Link for Easy Street Clues 3 and 4 December 17, 2012 and Happy Birthday dear Daddy!
Posted By drsao on December 17, 2012
I was in Kansas City, MO celebrating my Daddy’s 91st birthday last week, so I was a little bit behind schedule on sewing on CLUE 3 for Bonnie Hunter’s Easy Street Mystery Quilt……but it was a real honor and lots of fun to be at Daddy’s birthday celebration for sure!
First…..here is my 91-year young birthday Daddy! We had a good time at Crown Center enjoying the magic of the Christmas season. (Also pictured is my brother, Fred.) I will post more of my Kansas City trip soon because I took some pictures of some awesome antique quilts while celebrating Christmas on the Missouri River!

Here is what is on my DESIGN FLOOR!
While I was in Kansas City celebrating birthday and family time, I worked on my Scrappy Grandmother’s Flower Garden – I am making some good progress too. All blocks with be scrappy with a final black row and then the connecting path will be butterscotch/gold.

When I got back home in Virginia, I was able to complete Clue 3 of the Easy Street Mystery just hours before Clue 4 was posted. How is that for perfect timing? HERE ARE MY PICTURES. My Easy Street I has Half Square Triangles that are PURPLE – but somehow purple never photographs well! My purple and my aqua are constants in this quilt. I usually do all scrappy but this time I didn’t have these colors readily available.
Here is my second one that I call Christmas Easy Street – Clue 3. It is made with scrappy HOLLY JOLLY fabrics plus lots of scrappy aquas.

And Sunday I completed the Easy Street Mystery Clue 4. They say that quilting is good therapy and I, for one, am a testimonial for that. I have been so EXTREMELY saddened by the Conn. School Shooting that sewing was about all that I could do…….sometimes my vision was blurred with the tears, but thankfully I didn’t cut myself or run over my fingers with the sewing machine! My heart certainly is broken for the families who have lost loved ones.

Love your scrappy GFG. I’m doing two Mysteries as well – I love your colours on both of them.
