"I think it is an excellent name for a quilt. Personally, I think you need some blue in there, just a touch, because in Autumn the sky is blue. Good luck with the fabric hunt." ;^)
Thank you again, Chantel, for your insightful comment!!
And... if you are wondering what I replied:
"Hmm... thanks for that suggestion. I think I know just where I want to put it. ("It" referring to the light blue, of course.)
To that end, I stopped by the quilt shop after bee on Thursday to purchase a nice "sky" blue for my background:
It's slow going here in Joyful Quilterland. This is, by far, the LEAST amount of sewing I've done for a Bonnie Mystery since I started doing them in 2014!
I should be ashamed of myself, but I feel powerless. And, I actually WAS (truly power-less) for an entire month after returning from Quilt Camp!! The master switch is BEHIND the sewing table and I haven't crawled back there to plug the machine in. Although, last week I devised a temporary fix until I can find the energy and flexibility to reach the cords.
Here's hoping that means some sewing will follow!!!
Hooray!!! I got THIS much sewing done on Friday afternoon:
Yes, I realize it's not much, however...
On Sunday, there was a 40% off SALE at the quilt shop, SEW...

To have a look at any number of projects "just like Bonnie's", head over to the LINK-UP. I'll catch up with you later.
Until next time...
Be mysterious!!!
I love the colors you are using to make En Provence. I cannot wait to see how it turns out.
ReplyDeleteWe have to remember that the mystery isn't a race. Just save the directions and work at your own pace.
ReplyDeleteThis is a quilt that grows, maybe because the 4 patches are so easy and pretty. Good to have power back no matter which way it comes.
ReplyDeleteI'm just doing enough parts each week to say I did some. Soooo busy sewing and knitting at this time of year, but I do want to play along, so I do the best I can!
ReplyDeleteThere'll be lots of time next month, eh? And maybe someone will crawl under your table and solve your power problem!
Love this mystery idea - my first time!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your version! We do what we have to do when we can do it...right?
ReplyDeleteYou better get to crawlin - ha ha! LOVE your mystery colors!! It will be beautiful!
