More pieced borders are looming! Orca Bay has been done for ages, but needs to have the pieced borders attached. It is a bit wrinkled from hanging in the closet, so ironing is on the horizon for me. Long weekends are lovely, aren't they?
Speaking of vacations. Did anyone see that Bonnie Hunter is going to Ireland? During summer vacation! Very tempting, right? Anyone giving it some thought?

Ah, the long glorious days of sewing.... I had planned to baste a quilt this weekend, but I seem to have ordered the batting too small! I'll go back to the quilt shop, but what are the odds that no fabric will jump into my basket, too? PS I also have neglected quilts for lack of borders. Those long seams are intimidating! You can do it!
ReplyDeleteI am!!! Thinking about it, that is. My friend Joanne and I have been talking about going ever since she mentioned it on her website. Ireland!!! Wow!!! I am so hoping it will out that we can go! Are you thinking about it?
ReplyDeleteAnd your Orca Bay is absolutely gorgeous (of course!) I love the aquas in the blue strip blocks. That is a really different quilt, one I wish I had joined in to do :*)
ReplyDeleteLong weekends are indeed wonderful -- being retired is like a never ending long weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh the joys of finishing two tops in one day, must feel great! Someday I will get there. Right now I have sheetrock mud all over me, and in need of a shower. Might get a little sewing done tonight, we will see. Didn't get much sleep last night, guess the blue moon kept me awake. As for Ireland, sounds fabulous! But since I don't even know what state I will be living in for Christmas this year, I will have to wait on Ireland until I know more about the future. Are you giving it some serious consideration?
ReplyDeleteI have thought about it... I would think I'd died and gone to heaven for sure! But my budget will never allow this in my lifetime. I will live vicariously through Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteSo almost there! You can do it!
