Orca Bay update...

Bonnie gave us clue 6 as an early Christmas present. I am behind on 5, as I have all the little triangles cut out but not assembled to the HSTs. I am waiting on some red strings to finish step 5 strip pieced squares. Now I have step 6 squares cut and just could not resist assembling two of the stars. I will only get little bits of sewing time until the day after Christmas. Gotta go to the store now and get the items together for Sundays Christmas dinner that I am in charge of making.

Tonga...

I finished block 12 of my Tonga BOM. Now I have to construct all the pieced setting triangles and two zigzag columns that go between three block columns.

The bakening weekend...

First I must show you the Cotton Angel that one of my friend made for me. She can stay out all year to watch over my quilt fabric stash.

For now the Cotton Angel is hanging by my Christmas tree, my Mother made for me.

We started on Saturday with our standard nut roll cookies. Then my Daughter and her friend continued baking all evening and did a few more Sunday morning. I am helping tonight by baking one more type of cookie. Then tomorrow we will pack up a variety of cookies to gift to friends.
