Thanksgiving is over. Hubby and I had an enjoyable trip out-of-town for the day. We were non-traditional, we had prime rib!
I've survived decorating our house and shop for Christmas. I love doing it, but it does a number on my back. Thankfully, I've gotten back into yoga so while I still hurt, I was able to walk upright the next day! Since I've only been back at my yoga for a couple of weeks, I'd say it's definitely improving my life.
The day after Thanksgiving, Bonnie Hunter started the clues for her Good Fortune Mystery.
I've made a start on the pieces for this first clue:
Because my current cutting table is too low for my height, I alternate between cutting and sewing. That means I've only got about 25% of my pieces done so far. I'm hoping to get the rest done before the next clue comes out on Friday.
ETA: I'm planning on building a cutting table for my height (5'9½" - very long legs!) but I'll make due with this one for awhile. I've already drafted plans for my new, custom, cutting table!
I am using the recommended color palette. The variety of colors is more than I would normally use in a quilt, but so was last year's mystery and I ended up loving it!
If you want to see all of the other participants' progress, you can click here: Monday Link-Up. Not everyone is using the same palette, so it's great to see how different something the same can look with just alternate colors.
Happy Stitching!

Nice start to the mystery!
Have you thought about risers for your cutting table. They are fairly inexpensive. I am 5'7" and use them...otherwise my back would kill me also. Love your little squares. This is my first mystery and I am rather excited.
You've made great progress!
I love mysteries! Can't wait to see more of this.
