Here is a little wall hanging that I finished yesterday:
Kathie's blog, Inspired by Antique Quilts, (Here) has a beautiful little quilt in her header (lower right side) and I loved it when she first made it. (There are some blogs out there where I like everything they do; Kathie's blog is one of them.) I made my own version quite a while ago, but didn't finish the binding until just yesterday. Thanks Kathie for allowing my to copy your version. Mine is 12 x 12 in. and I put triangle hanging corners on the back, so I can hang it on the wall in December. The hst's are 1 inch, and the border is 3 in. on each side.
Today is design wall Monday, and also Quiltville's Easy Street Mystery linkup, so I have something to show for both sites:
Here's the Easy Street parts up through Part 4, and I have no clue what it will all look like when it is finished. But that's the fun of a mystery!
You can see what the other peeps are working on at Bonnie's post: (Here)
Another picture of just Part 4:
On my design wall is a Barbara Brackman suffragette block. She is posting one a week at this site: (Here) I have two more to make to get caught up with this project.

We are entering the last week before Christmas, and I hope you take some time to sooth your soul in your quilt room. Merry Christmas!

Hey, great minds think alike. I am also doing Barbara Brackman's Grandmother's Choice. You can see mine at adamsmaryellen.blogspot.com/. I love your Christmas colors, too.
Great color choices!! That will be very Christmasy!!
Beautiful little quilt and block.
Kathie is a great inspiration and has a fun blog - I enjoy following her too.
Thanks for sharing -

love your choice of Christmas colours for the mystery. I am also doing Barbara's BOW in purple, white & Green - the English suffragette colours.
We also turned off the tv until last night's gathering, which was very moving....I have also gone into my sewing space to calm myself down after this horrific day--I still cannot wrap my mind around this...
On a happier note, I love your colors for Easy Street; I am staying with Bonnie's choices except I don't have much purple--so may switch to pinks--we'll see. Have a good holiday Julierose
gorgeous fabrics, lovely quilts and that block is a WOW! I am a person who has to creative things to find balance and peace in my life too. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
Great fabric choices for Easy street...and a wonderful little quilt!

Delicious fabrics in the Knot block!
Am so looking forward to seeing the christmas fabrics when assembled.

I love the fabrics you're using in Easy Street!
Your Easy Street Christmas fabrics are so yummy! And I agree, this mystery has been such a stress-buster for me too, especially this past weekend, I cried all day Saturday and decided to just start doing something productive so started sewing and quilting - you're right, it is such a soothing balm for the heart and soul ;-)
Looking forward to seeing your Christmas mystery surprise come together,
