UPDATE: February 6 2012. Top is done. Apologies for the very human fold but Betty was doing her very best.Thank you Bonnie for your inspiration and leadership. I can hardly wait for the next one.
Imagine the frustration. I was without internet and phone service for the past 9 days. Well I had other things to do, like make the 4 more Ohio Stars that I had somehow miscounted.
In desperation to get my Orca Bay fix I did go round to the public library to get caught up on all the new Mr Linky posts that were happening. I did call my DD after new years (not knowing the next clues were going to be released) and she read the #7 clue to me so that I could get my flying geese made. Those went together amazingly fast.Then I talked to Cathy Tomm and she explained over the phone (cell) how to contruct the rows. Since I have gone back to work full time now, I make the most of those hours between 5 and 7 am by working on Orca Bay and my other MQ.
The following quilt I did at a LQS Dec 27-30 with my friend Maureen. We give each other the gift of time for Christmas by taking this 4 day class together.
(Near) Completed pictures shall be posted after the weekend.
Wishing you all a very happy and creative new year. Many many thanks to Bonnie for your generosity of spirit and talent.

Hi Kathy - love purple/orange combinations and your's are lovely. I love how lively your Orca Bay is - my eye just wants to wander around it.
ReplyDeleteGlad you survived without internet! Isn't it awful when you don't have it. I visited my Mother before xmas and she only has dial up which was so slow I gave up. Glad you managed to still keep up with the clues!
ReplyDeleteI just love your color combination for your Orca Bay Mystery !! That yellow is just great.
ReplyDeleteWow both quilts look great. Good to have you back in the world of internet.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it is your colors or the fabrics or both, but your Orca Bay quilt has so much movement! Like Judi said, it's so lively! Wow! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the quilts! How did we ever survive without the internet?
ReplyDeleteI do like the border that you are adding, it does really add to it!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your color choices. SOmtimes not having those luxurious would be nice...I might get something done!
ReplyDeleteYour class project is also nice. You really do good on colors.
Happy New Year Kathy! I have the Orca bay saved for a retreat weekend - sometime... Yours looks great! I like your color choices. I think mine will be black, white, grey and a spot of red - maybe. Thanks for sharing - it's great that you were able to have some quilting time over the Christmas break!
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing to work out how to do those blocks without actually seeing them. Well done
