Orca Bay top assembled w/o borders

Whew! Done! A labor of love for sure. It is so beautiful!

 I began the morning with a clean machine, new needle and many bobbins wound. Though I only needed two to finish this assembly.

 Sections are all pressed and ready to be added together. I know they are still in rows but the rows are deeper and seemed to be very manageable. You HAVE to keep the strings on the underside when sewing. Let the feed dogs do their job of easing any fullness in. Pins are your friend with string blocks!

 Florabunda by Bonnie Hunter on my chair. I sit on it everyday!

A couple of sections added together. I moved my big board out to the livingroom. It does take up lots of room but it is perfect for row assembly. No stretching alowed!!!!!

A few more rows. It is getting heavier and I am so pleased to be this far already!

 I have a few leftovers. I will make a small quilt for my precious kitties.

 OR...for the back of the quilt??

 I am ready for the border assembly. But my back is aching and I need to feed the man who lives here. And the QST sitting there for the two sections in the border are too large. I just used 2 1/2" strips to cut the QST's. I can cut the units down easier than cutting 2" strips from blacks and neutrals.

 My KINDLE cover came today. It is exactly what I wanted.

Gray...hand hold strap...lightweight

And when folded shut there is an elastic strap to keep it closed. It is slim and will allow this to fit in my purse.
Now that I am looking at it I am concerned with the bottom edge of the Kindle. The button and cord access are totally exposed....it is such a struggle to be OCD.
Little things...little things...little things...

I have been "Kindled"!

Look out world! This old quilter is now a new owner of a Kindle Touch 3G! Of course I was a bit apprehensive before it arrived. I know I pestered Our Bonnie Hunter and other users of this amazing device concerning using the download feature.

I was worried for nothing! We are not wireless here. Yet the Kindle was able to find and use a signal. I have books on it already!

 I should have bought a cover and the AC adapter. But until I do one of those pencil boxes I have fit the Kindle perfectly. Now the kitties cannot walk on it and read something they should not. HA!

It is 4:00 a.m. here in Indiana.
I am waiting for clue #5 for the Orca Bay Mystery quilt from Bonnie Hunter. (http://www.quiltville.com)
