Second step of Mystery Complete

Good morning on this dreary day , I think the sun has given up on us ,it just doesn't seem to want to appear . All this wet weather has been very productive for sewing though so I am not really complaining too  loudy although I am ready for sunshine :-)
 I have been working away on a few things , first off I finished step two of Kaaren's mystery quilt , a lot of sewing involved but I love the result . Want to see ?

I should have moved the lamp , and sorry for the poor picture , with this dark day it is hard to get a decent picture inside .

I finished this little wool piece too , added a fabric backing and binding and added some stitching to help bring it to life , not in the orginal pattern but I do like it this way . Fun project .
 I have been following along with Buttermilk Basins BOM and here they are so far .

Kind of ran out of room on my design wall so extending over the edge some and you get peak at another vintage machine I have had for years , it does not sew but makes a great ornament .

Yesterday at our little quilting session at the church we did our block exchange for July , the first of many to come involving snowball blocks . This month the colour was to be either blue or mauve and next month is green .

 Here are my ten blocks taking up residence next to my mystery quilt . I plan on adding an alternate block but not sure which one to use , any suggestions ?  It was a great day at quilting and we removed the grandmothers flower garden from the frames and I can tell you there was some celebrating , that was a lot of hard work but it sure is gorgeous . Wait I did take a picture a few weeks back that I can share .

Isn't it beautiful , this is a vintage quilt found in an attic and being quilted after many years of just sitting , pretty special and we hope the lady who took the time to hand stitch all those very tiny hexies is smiling down from heaven right now at her completed quilt .

 Well I have kept you long enough , have yourself a great day and thanks for taking the time to stop by , it is always nice to have you visit .I just realized this is Wednesday and I should link up with the Needle and Threadnetwork , why not check it out for yourself .
 Hugs Sheila
