Slow sewing progress...

I've had some wonderful interruptions, so my Bonnie Orca Bay quilt isn't coming together at warp speed.


How can I go to the sewing room when I have little people in my living room!

I have all of the parts made, it's just a matter of putting them altogether.  Here is a portion of what I do have:

The red door really makes the reds stand out.  The first strip I put together made my eyes tired..it's a BUSY quilt, but the more I put together it tones down a little (or at least I'm telling myself that)!.

I agree it is very hard to head off to the studio when there are those beautiful grandchildren around. Your quilt colours are very vibrant. Going to be a show stopper.

I would scold you if you were sewing with precious babies within reach. :) I haven't touched my machine in weeks because my big babies are home. I've been admiring Bonnie's quilt and have been tempted to jump in. Yours is going to be gorgeous!

I know what you mean about interruptions. It's ok cause those little interrruptions are only little once. Have fun with them and sew when you can. Your Orca Bay looks great on the red door. I'm not sure I'll be doing this one. I'm trying to finish other things now.

The quilts will wait I'm sure!
I like your red door. Our red door is what made me want to buy this house.
I think I'm good on red scraps for now. I got yours plus what I had and I've slowly gathered enough for a new quilt for our bed.
