Saturday's progress...

I continued working on Orca Bay mystery and have enough pairs of triangles cut to be able to get 90 quarter square blocks . Only 134 more to cut and sew....
I also went to a meeting of The Girls With Long Arms and was amazed at how much I learned. The potluck soup lunch was really good and the company was the best. Thanks Karen for the talk you did on quilting show quilts. Next meeting I will try to remember my camera and take some pictures to share.
 The Inspectors were bored with nothing finished to check out.

Friday Night Sew In...

I actually finished blocks 9 and 10 of the Tonga BOM last night. Tonight is the Friday Night Sew In, you can sign up HERE .

This morning I gathered strips for the Bonnie Hunter Mystery.
I finished sewing block 11 this afternoon, but Chipper didn't want to let me show it.
 I changed the color placement on block 11. Now I have only one more block to pick up next month and also the rest of the fabric plus the backing. I hope to get this quilt top finished and assembled in January.
 Eight mystery blocks are finished now to get the other 216 Quarter Square Triangle blocks to go. I leave on a Thanksgiving trip Tuesday, so I may not get to the next step until a week from Sunday. Are any of you working on Bonnie's mystery?
 I was able to get 120 pairs of triangles cut out and a crockpot of chili made for a pot luck Saturday. Not bad for the Friday Night Sew In. Now I am off to bed.....

One more Charity Quilt quilted...

I used a pantograph on this one today and will add the binding all by machine tonight.
 Finished
and inspected.
I am taking my Red Snappers to share at our local Longarm club on Tuesday so no more quilting till Wednesday. Scotty will be missing his hammock bed till then, poor deprived kitty.
