Colors on photos for Easy Street Clues

It is getting ready to rain here in sunny Florida and my photos are looking a little weird.  I tried to adjust the color in my photo software but the blues look green.  In "real" life they look more like the paint chip samples Bonnie suggested for Easy Street Mystery.  I'm pretty sure the actual quilt will look just fine...I hope.

Slip....slipping away...time that is.

I have too many projects in the works.  I'm getting behind and I need to focus on Christmas sewing.  I did cut all the parts for Easy Street, Clue 3.  I put the pieces together to see what I thought about the colors...well, my turquoise seems a bit "jade" to my eye so I'm  going to put a few together soon.  I might need a different turquoise options.  These two are from my stash and I have another two that are slightly different but probably not enough to complete this mystery.

Here's a pic of my Clue 3 cut fabric.


I have high hopes for getting caught up before the next clue but we head north to PA for Christmas and I won't have a moment to sew until the end of the month.  Ahhh, I'll be itching to sew when we return.

Four and more...Easy Street Clue 2

I  have completed about 30 of the flying geese.  I'm using the Companion and Easy rulers.  I can see why some say it is a little tricky to get a goose that doesn't need a little trim.  Practice will help me with that but I could also try one of Bonnie's other methods (shown on her blog today)  I hope to upload a photo of more geese showing the colors as they really are.  This small group is a bit distorted.  Ok, now I can finish up this step and be ready for Clue 3.  What a fun mystery!

Next step!

Bonnie posted Clue 2 on Friday and I started right in on more black on white and purple strips.  No matter that I was supposed to be cleaning my sewing area and other household stuff.  I have now cut the sub pieces and have sewn a few flying geese.  I doubt I'll have all done by monday linky..I must get to that aforementioned cleaning.  Picture coming.
