What I've been working on ...

I am plugging away on Bonnie Hunter's Celtic Solstice Mystery ... I'm behind, but plodding! I have all of my neutral background triangle in a square units pieced and am half done with my other pieces. As you can see, I am NOT using Bonnie's colors! I'm doing mine in patriotic colors so I can cut down on some of my stash in those areas ..
 I am almost finished with my challenge for my quilt guild. I made placemats out of the fabrics using the Lil' Twister ruler. I just have to bind the last two and we can use them :)
AND I made some ornaments for an ornament swap. I read and re-read the rules and am not sure if we were supposed to make ornaments for this swap or if it is OK to purchase some.  Since I didn't know (and I didn't want to go shopping in the cold!) I made ornaments. Here they are ready to package up and get into the mail tomorrow. This was the first time I used Hot Fix Crystals 
... pretty nifty!
