ON HIATUS

Many times I read or hear about TV shows going "on hiatus" for a while between seasons. 

Well, my blog is "on hiatus" for a little while as I await the verdict from my Geek friend to tell me how bad the situation is with my laptop computer.  It had become so slow and kicked itself offline repeatedly that I had about given up on being able to use it.  He said to let him take it and check it out.  So it is currently with my buddy, Larry.

In the meantime I am using DH's computer which works fine for a lot of things, but I have no access to my pictures. 

I will be posting more after the verdict comes in about my laptop.  I may have to replace it.  After all it is about 7 years old.

In the meantime I am "window shopping" for computers.  Do I want a laptop, a tablet, or a regular PC that would be stationery on my desk?  Decisions, decisions . . .  Any suggestions?

WISHING ALL OF YOU A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Thank you for stopping by my blog this year.  I promise to do more posting in 2013!!!  Definitely among my top goals for the New Year.

EASY STREET PART 3

I am doing some of each step of the Easy Street Mystery Quilt.  Here are a few of my Part 3 units. 

I have chosen orange to replace the blue.

EASY STREET PROGRESS

My last post about the Easy Street Mystery Quilt Project by Bonnie Hunter was without pictures.  I now have the capability to add some pictures.

Here are my fabrics and a few of my Step One Four-Patch blocks.

I exchanged my oranges for the Teal/Turquoise Blues and included some periwinkle in my purples.

I will be doing some blocks of each step in the beginning because of time restraints.  I will finish this after the first of the year.

Step Two was making Flying Geese with the Purples and Black/White background fabrics.

I used the EZ Angle Ruler and the Companion Ruler that Bonnie suggested.  I was very happy with my results.  There was minimum sliver trimming.

I think this is going to be another fun adventure.
