Vicki's Quilt

When Paul's niece, Vicki was just a little girl she used fabric paint sticks to color fabric blocks.

Her mom put the blocks together and made a quilt that they used for many years.

And then one day the dog got a hold of it and made a hole in it. It had a gathered bed skirt which they took off, and now Vicki wants to bind it off and preserve it.

Sewing & Cleaning With the Youth

Yesterday the youth girls came for a day of sewing.

In the afternoon the boys came to wash off one of  CAM’s  bunk trailers.'

Some of the girls took a break from sewing and washed & scrubbed the inside clean.

We fixed pizza & salad for supper.

It’s amazing how fast some of the girls can sew up a dress.

After supper we had a fun evening of games.

String Blocks & Three Boys

I finished Step 2 of Bonnie Hunter's Orca Bay Mystery Quilt before midnight. Now I'm ready for Step 3 when morning comes!

Other activities of the day included these three boys and a fire engine!

Orca Bay Continues

I'm slowly working on my Orca Bay Myster Quilt by Bonnie Hunter. I finally have 224 oversized hour glass blocks pieced, but I have yet to trim them down to 2.5" square.

In the mean time at our Graber Reunion I helped put the finishing stitches into Heidi's quilt.

I love, love, love this "fresh modern quilt" ... and the little girl in front of it!

Sewing, Sewing, Sewing Orca Bay

I have started making 224 quarter square triangles, or hour glasses as some may say, for the Orca Bay Mystery Quilt by Bonnie Hunter. I have half square triangles made but need to make them into quarter square triangles yet.

And I'm still debating on my fabric choices. You can see from my last post that I've already changed out my cream colored fabric for a cleaner look of white with a little black.

Now, I'm debating on changing the blue also. I have some blue old fashion strips already cut, but I'm not sure about adding the blue fabric with the bits of yellow. I don't mind the blue having red in it but the yellow is adding another color to the quilt. Decisions, decisions. What shall I do?
