I got up fairly early yesterday so I could check out the reveal of the Orca Bay Mystery quilt at http://quiltville.blogspot.com/ . I really love the design and managed to sew part of a row before I went to Chapel Hill with Connie, Sally and Cathy. I used lots of spray starch to tame all the seams.
We had a great time shopping at the annual sale (I only bought 7yds.) at Thimble Pleasures and then ate a late lunch at the Weathervane over at Southern Seasons. ( Butternut Squash Soup and Chicken Salad - It was a real treat.)
This morning I sewed a few more blocks and this was the result as I stuck them up on the wall. Something looked a little off - I have already sewn two black units wrong. RATS! Time for the seam ripper. I thought about waiting to do it later but TA DA!
I got a little confused for awhile as I started making rows looking at the actual quilt - then as I looked at the diagram it took me awhile to realize she had her photo bottom side up. Now I see!
Even though it is on the wall crooked and I don't show the whole strip, I do have one double row finished. I left my little year round sewing tree in the picture as it matches with the top being a little curved in the other direction.
No more sewing tonight - I plan to undecorate the big tree. John took down the outside decorations while I was off gadding yesterday.
