I do Jigzone jigsaw puzzles almost every day - they are relaxing and challenging; I am a "medium" puzzle solver online. But I haven't worked on an actual cardboard puzzle for years. So, when I arrived in San Juan Bautista and found that Mary had a puzzle in progress, I couldn't resist. It was even more of a temptation since the subject was one of Ruth McDowell's quilts. The quilt "Blue Tree" was made in 1990 and the puzzle produced by C&T Publishing in 1997. It is a hard puzzle, if only 550 pieces, because of all the plaid fabrics used in the background. Five people worked on it and Mary and I finished it the night before I left to drive on to Oregon.
Mary has this great "pan" she used for dyeing that makes a great puzzle table.
Two other contributors were Mary's daughter Linda and g'girl Heather.

You told me about on-line puzzles at Rayna's class and I've been doing them every morning since!! I love puzzles :)
How fun to do a Ruth McDowell puzzle! I didn't know they ever existed. It does look challenging. I should do jigsaw puzzles more often than I do....
We usually do a puzzle in the afternoon on Christmas day. I'm getting a Ruth McDowell puzzle this year.
