Wool Crazy & Cotton Boll

A few weeks ago I started on block 2 of my Wool Crazy by JoAnn. I like to add my applique pieces then do the decorative stitching. I'm just getting started but I sure do enjoy it. This block will be all about fall and winter.


Here is my completed mystery quilt step 1 of Bonnie Hunter's. And I only made 3 strips wrong! I'll be keeping them as I have a hunch I may need them for another step. If not, I'll toss them into the scrap bin.

I am hosting 15 for Thanksgiving dinner, which for me, is an army!! You all have a wonderful week.
Thank you for stopping by my Humble blog. I appreciate your visits and comments.

Lori, I have been wanting to make Wool Crazy from Joann for like a year! Yours is beautiful! I love it! Can't wait to see it stitched up. Maybe I'll start one. I'm liking this Bonnie Mystery too. May seriously need to consider getting on board!

Thanks for the link to JoAnn from Wool Crazy. I like her stuff! Your block looks great so far. I also like the fabrics you picked for the mystery quilt. I made Bonnie's mystery quilt last year and I'm not doing it this year. Good luck! Happy Thanksgiving!

thinking about joining bonnie...maybe I will. You've inspired me. Have a wonderful thanksgiving!

You gals have had such fun with these Wool Crazy pieces :)

I've pulled fabrics for Bonnie's mystery but lack pinks so will have to shop (don't cry for me). Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day with the army. The more, the merrier, I say!

I love the colours in your crazy block - very graphic.
It must be fun doing Bonnie's Mysteries - I love watching the progress on her blog. I like the fabrics you are using.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Two very different projects to keep you busy Lori. That wool project looks great. I am following that mystery quilt with interest. Have a happy Thanksgiving.

Your Wool Crazy block is just crazy-cool! I love the curved houses. Can't wait to see how the mystery quilt turns out.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

Love the fabrics you picked for the Quiltville mystery! Haven't started it yet but am ready to start picking my fabrics. I know, just a little behind!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Juliann said...

We should have 16 at our house for Thanksgiving unless the ice refused to thaw and then people might not be able to get up our hill. Enjoy your celebration.

Beth said...

I love your Wool Crazy! The curved piec with houses is my favorite so far.
Great start on Bonnie's mystery. I am trying to resist because I am attempting to reduce my giant pile of UFOs.
Happy Thanksgiving.

Brandie said...

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
I'm thinking more and more about wool, thanks to you. Love the little house on the hill!

Janet said...

I like your fun little houses. It will be another great wool block.
What gorgeous pinks you're using in the mystery quilt. I look forward to seeing your step 2.

Mary said...

Your wool quilt is really, really nice, but oh those double pinks! You stole my heart with those.

Your dining room and table must be bigger than mine. I couldn't fit that many in here! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Bonnie K Hunter said...

****Squeeeall***** I didn't know you were REALLY doing the mystery! Oh, I hope you don't hate me by the end..LOL!!!

Bonnie

Lisa said...

I hate mystery quilts, but after seeing your start, I might change my mind! I love your fabrics. Have a Happy Thanksgiving, Lori.

julieQ said...

Love your wool crazy piece! I just really need to do one of these. I thought I was the one one to do that with my strips!! Hee!

Wendy said...

The wool crazy is wonderful. I've sewn and cut my strips today, love the pinks.
Happy Thanksgiving.

Ann Champion said...

You're off to great start on the wool project. I love what you're doing.

The mystery quilt looks interesting. I'm not doing this one due to other commitments, but have done 2 others of hers. They're fun!

Shakerwood said...

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Wonderful wooly work!

Vivian said...

Bonnie's mystery quilt is SO tempting, but I have to learn to ignore so many of the temptations around me. That's why I'm not finishing projects. I go on to another, and another...
Blessings to you and your family, Lori. We're truly blessed to have you and your projects as inspiration to so many of us who need the guidance and the ideas.

Barb said...

those little houses are too fun! I love it.
Pink and green? one of my all time favorite combos. I'll enjoy watching you do this one.
