Bonnie Hunter Orca Bay Mystery Quilt

I just happened on this this morning. I guess this is one way to stay committed. I'm putting it on my blog for fun. Let's see if I can keep up. It starts November 18, but here is the introduction. This gives the fabric description and everything we'll need to complete the project. I'm digging in my scraps today! Want to join us?

I really would like to do this...but I think I'm a little delayed in getting started. I will not abandon the idea, but it may take me a while to get into it. So goes my good intention... Do you ever do that?

My Favorite Bag, Kati Cupcake Pattern Co.

Here it is in process....almost there. It is definitely not for beginners. There are a lot of pieces and steps, and some areas are a little vague. If you've never seen one up close and touchable, good luck! Watch out for the Peltex fusible stabilizer. It comes double sided, or just one side fusible. I would recommend the single side only. Otherwise you'll need a teflon sheet when you're fusing to the inside of the bag. The next step that is a bit confusing is the magnetic clasp. There is no diagram or picture of where it goes and instructions come with the clasp, not in the bag pattern. I'm going to call it an option. Trying to match the fusible interfacing with the other pieces is like chasing a magnetic bumble bee with a magnetic wand, an old game called Tickle Bee. I'm trimming as I go to keep things even.

This is the outside with stitching on the bottom...

This is the lining with the clasp installed.



The handles are black and are sewn on...

Check back in a few days for the finished pictures. Thanks for looking.
