funky Chickens

January chicken done – the hen on the left was my trial block.

Orca Bay – Done

I finished this the about 2 or 3 weeks ago, but I never seem to make time to post.  Here it is, another Bonnie Hunter Mystery. 

I was planning to work on Jamestown Landing next – but now I’m working on last years mystery Roll, Roll Cotton Boll.  I will try to post that a little quicker.

New Year Weekend 2012

This year was all family.  Jacki and Tim came down for the week.  Then Tony showed up early Christmas Eve.  He is looking to move to MO, so I am just enjoying him home for the time being.
We did get some small projects done, and just spent some quality family time.  Jacki and I all of her grading caught up, and recorded. 
We also gave the guys a shopping list for her next school project.  Combination lab – a light box with 4 switches and a tester button.  The whole family got involved.  However I did not get a pic of the final project.

  

While I got some sewing done Jacki helped me sort STRINGS.  I had 3 buckets of strings.  I needed neutral, red and purple strings so Jacki decide to sort the lot.

I love the result, but now I have 5 piles of strings and a box for “everything else”.  I think Jamestown Landing is next!

    

I can not wait till we are all close together.  These family days are just too far apart for my liking. 

Orca Bay – a Bonnie Hunter Mystery

I am getting there….

It was messy, but the center is done!  And the pieced borders are almost done. 

 
I bet that inner board is going to include some ripping before I’m done. Want to lay odds? 

Oh, and the I Spy top is ready for quilting. Yah!

Sorry for the fuzzy camera, I think the camera batteries are fading fast.  Need to go plug them in. 

I’m back, for awhile anyway….

First John and I went to Florida the week before Christmas.  I do NOT think I will be doing that again anytime soon.

We were there for 4 days for Tony.  We moved him out.

And watch him graduate.  Thanks too to Johna and Aunt Jo :)
