Sunday already ....where did this week go

For sure the time is flying by and soon there will be snow on the ground. About 4 hours north of me they had snow this past Friday. So you know it is coming!!!
Hard to see the bones in the border
Well the baby quilt is done and will be on it way to its new home. But the little boy it is for decided to come early so he has to wait a few days for his quilt. It was a good machine quilting day....did all the quilting in one day. It was a little quilt but so many things could've gone wrong and they didn't...I love days like that!!!

Orca Bay Mystery from Bonnie Hunter
Today is another machine quilting day. This year one of the guilds I belong to is having its 30th anniversary. We decided last June that in September we would have a giant show and tell. Well I have nothing to show so yesterday I started to get my "Orca Bay" quilt put together. So today it is sandwiching it and pin basting it and starting to machine quilt it.I had a fat quarter of the backing (on the left) and thought it was perfect. So I went back to the store when she was having her spring sale and got yardage. That was last May 2012....yikes!!!Oh well better late then never! I am hoping for another good sewing day...let's all keep our fingers and toes crossed.Join Kathy and see what others are hand stitching today on slow stitching Sunday!!!

    Orca looks great! And that backing is perfect for the quilt!
    Thanks for linking up!

    With this Orca Bay will be done and then just Easy Street to finish. Bonnie's quilts do have lots of pieces but are fairly easy to piece. Try one...there is one coming out soon before Christmas she promises!!

    I love when there are no problems when FMQ... but rarely does that happen. Your Ocra Bay looks great..... reminds me I need to add borders to Easy Street and try and get that finished.
