    I didn't know what Posole was either so I found this:

    It is a soup type dish made with homney a product of corn. I believe it is Mexican or Native American. I learned about it from friends of both of these decents. They both claim it. All I know is it is great on a cold winter day.

    I have done the mystery quilts several times with Planet Patchwork. They are easy enough for a beginner. Don't worry. Just enjoy. If you get stuck there is a message board and someone will help you through.

    I'm sitting here looking at the cutting directions for this mystery quilt. I've never sewn with bias tape or anything like it. I can't even imagine what this will be used for in a quilt. OK, I haven't sewn much of anything but simple quilts. So, is this quilt gonna be ok for someone with not many skills but a lot of want to? LOL I won't be using bias tape, it would be a dark accent fabric - but 1/2 inch?!? Give me some encouragement here please!

    Yvonne, your fabrics are beautiful! I guess I'll pass on this mystery cause I don't do bias strips.

    In Pennsylvania.....it is always Pork and sauerkraut for New Year's day to bring good luck...and if for some strange reason someone doesnt eat sauerkraut, it is pork and cabbage in some form. Almost every New Year's eve party has it and New Year's day too :).

    Yvonne,
    Thanks for sharing this. I will try it! I hope I will be able to check in with the site every hour. No company at the house this year. So this may be a completed "mystery" for me!
    -Pat :) :) :)
