on finishing up the purple strippie squares for the orca bay quilt. here is all that is left, albeit each has only 3-4 strips, so it'll take probably a day to really finish. then press, cut into triangles, rip out the papers and voila! ready to put the top together. what else got done yesterday? well, marked the final border section on the amish center diamond leaving only the outside border and corner squares to quilt, cut some squares for a giftie quilt and cut some strips for a challenge quilt. i also did some cross-stitch and pinned some pieces of the feathered star together. the main project is to finish the orca bay top as the units have taken over my small space. **** we did get some snow overnight and possibly more on the way, though not deep accumulation. it's a nuisance but with 40-degree temps on the way, it'll be gone soon. so far i am liking this winter pretty well; for maine, that is.
Oh, so close on Orca Bay! That has got to feel good! I am cheating big time with it (no strings and smaller quilt) and I am nowhere near that close to a finish. But it is more a leader/ender for me right now. Spent the past few days completely away from sewing--tending three oldest grandkids while DD#2 and her DH had their youngest to a specialist in Chicago. Their flight home was delayed by 7 hours because of snow and they spent almost all of that time sitting on a plane. Can you imagine that with a 2 year old, let alone one with disabilities both mental and physical?!?
ReplyDeleteWe are warm (in the 40s) and rainy--so uncharacteristic for Northern Utah in January. DH is off helping sandbag today because of so much flooding.
