A year full of possibilities... and I am looking forward to it!!
And my first project of the year is SO MUCH FUN - Bonnie Hunter's Orca Bay - except my Orca's aren't black and white - they are rust, blue, green, and yellow - yippee!!! I think they are just in the Mediterranean for vacation. Here's a little bigger 'eyeful' than I posted yesterday ! (sorry it's sideways - Blogger insists - heck, just turn your head sideways - that's much easier than getting the technology to change)...
So - today I corralled a few of them in this chair - we'll see if I can knock that pile down a bit soon!!
I do love working on these small treasures. And then giving them away...
Tomorrow I'm going by the LSQ and sandwich some 'big quilts' that I need bigger table to work on... DH is going to "help" in return for a sushi lunch down the street! One is the Bonnie Hunter mystery from LAST Year - RRCB !!!! yippee... so glad to see it transcending from a flimsy to a quilt!!
I better run - cleaning lady comes tomorrow, I have to
OH - THE RANT - I know you were holding your breath! Did you see the CNN NYE special last night with Anderson Cooper and
OH WELL - SHAKE IT OFF - moving on !
Happy New Year to everyone... I hope today was just a great Day One for the rest of the year!!!!

Wow Kate, I love your Orca Bay - the colours are so rich. Beautiful!
WOOOOOOWWWWWWW! Your colors are incredible. How creative, it looks fantastic! What a way to start 2012
Your Orca Bay is gorgeous! You are an inspiration to try other color options! I too have a problem with the charity quilts multiplying and hope to get them under control this year! My Orca Bay is for me, though!
Why is it that a photo shows mistakes like nothing else??? I SEE the error in the first row to the left - can't wait to fix that later... so glad it's an outside row!!!! Kate
Love your colors!
Love your quilt and color choices! And regarding the rant: I've never thought of CNN and "reliable news coverage" in the same sentence before.
That is a really colourful version of Orca Bay!! Did you realise your string squares are orientated differently to how Bonnie intended? There are so many options with this quilt :)
Wow, so fun and colorful. Love it.
I'm absolutely in LOVE with your color selection!
Fortunately, I DIDN'T see the CNN clip - I don't know why we have to be bombarded with CRAP -- either foul mouths, or toothless loggers, unshaved hooligans, shirtless men who need to wear bras, cursing scoundrels, or "hey man" "You know", "Hey Man" etc. Just poor diction, improper manners, etc. Does that make us prudes?
OK, Elaine, shake it off! LOL
This is why I quilt apparently, and with TV so horrible, I'm quilting a LOT!!! 8-))
I don't get why anyone anywhere would think the slutty potty mouth woman is funny, entertaining, or worth anyone's time. Thanks for the rant! I laughed!
