Bonnie Hunter’s 2014 Mystery Quilt
The mystery started on Black Friday.
I was in Charleston, SC, at a family retreat for Thanksgiving–more on this quality experience later.
I left my fabrics ironed and ready to go when I got home on Tuesday after Thanksgiving–FIVE days after the first clue.
I finished the first and second clues last night. Here’s what I have so far in terms of units made–which includes 400 bonus half-square 2-inch triangles made while making the pile of units on the left. This method of making bonus triangles was, I believe, pioneered by Bonnie:
Clue 3 came last Friday, and it’s got GREEN, which I had thought might happen:
I’m on the job as soon as I finish posting to the blog!!!
120 units to make…

An Aphorism
A dear friend here recited this little aphorism the other day, and I thought it especially appropriate during this season that can get more than a little crazy if allowed:
“Yesterday is history;
Tomorrow is a mystery;
Today is God’s gift,
That’s why it’s called ‘The Present’.”

I had no idea what starling murmurations were…
Apparently the video has had millions of viewers…
Thanks, Judith.

Sprouted Blue Corn and Buckwheat and Blueberry Muffins
I made these this morning!
They are delicious!
The recipe came from Jennifer McGruther’s blog, Nourished Kitchen:
Sprouted Blue Corn, Buckwheat and Blueberry Muffins — Nourished Kitchen.
And she got it from the Shiloh Farms online VERY INTERESTING store.
They have a whole range of SPROUTED gluten free flours and will ship them.
There are other products as well, and I will be taking a much closer look at what they have to offer soon.
Next step: try to get our local coops to carry these flours.
What a treat to start the day!
