Wonderful Sewing Day

The last few days I've made some mug rugs for Christmas, and continued with the Orca Mystery Quilt.


I finished 168 of the 350 2"hst units from Part 3 and skipped Part 4 so I can add them to Part 5 LOL.

Part 5 is to cut 700 triangle to add to Part 3. Well, that too for ever - not that I'm whining - and I only got 225 cut before I had to cook dinner.


My goal this week was to get 50 units of each part complete. Well I got 168 of part 3 complete, but have pre-cut the required material to complete the 350.


I have also added the wings to Part 3 to complete 50 of Part 5. So I am pretty pleased with myself. (AND I did all this while looking after my granddaughter!





I chain stitched and cut the tabs off as I went.


Cooper - granddaughter - loved the flags and was handing me the wings to put on LOL.


So here are 50 units complete.


I'm looking forward to the next part, although I doubt I'll be able to do any more until after Christmas, and if I can do it while travelling :-).

Here are all the bits and pieces ready to go away until after Christmas.


Have a safe and Happy Holiday Season.
