Design Wall- November 5,2012

My design wall is empty today.  I worked really hard this weekend and finished my Orca Bay quilt.  I wish I had kept track of how many times I filled my bobbin! I love the quilt now that is is finally finished.  I will post a picture at the end of the month for my UFO .  I need to clean my sewing room up since I have made a big mess trying to finish this quilt.  I had a friend give me two big trash bags of fabric from her stash.  She is cleaning out and down sizing and I can't turn any fabric down.  When she sent me an e-mail and said she had two bags of fabric I was thinking small WalMart size bags.  Holy cow, look what she gave me!!

I know what I will be doing this afternoon!

October Color Challenge

In June my Husband, Brother, Sister-in-law, niece and I went to Virginia and North Carolina to visit family and friends.  While we were there my best friend from high school ( who lives in Hillsboro NC) took us to a quilt shop in Raleigh and I bought a charm pack of hand dyed fabrics and a pattern to make this charm quilt.  I always try to buy a local fabric or pattern to remember our trip.  The fabric was dyed  and the pattern written by Susan Angus-LeHoullier. She called the pattern Colour Charm , a Easy and fun "Art" Quilt.  It had a few more colors that the challenge but I think it was pretty close.
