Friday Sharing--- #Creative Goodness

My last few days have not been my own.
It's good that I played with these blocks earlier in the week.
I cut a bunch of scraps up for making these cute "Idaho Square Dance" Blocks that were in the
May/June Quiltmaker Magazine.
I couldn't help but sew a few together. Before long there were 10 or so in the works.
Scrapalicious!
Being a Wife and Grandma takes time away from my Stitching  
I had a young Grandson/ helper here all day Thursday again.
Playing games, watching Frozen, eating M & M's, Mac & Cheese and walking to pick up his brother after school while his mom worked filled my day.
Designing more quilts continues in my mind and on my scratchpad as I lay down to sleep.
I have a Challenge/Swap to dream up!

Meanwhile the plans for Lori Holt's Instagram SAL starts one week from today.
I brought some of Lori's fabric and the "Alphabitties"
I think I'm ready!
Lori posted a bunch of cute #farmgirlvintage Blocks on Instagram and I pre-ordered the book.
My cousin is one of her fellow Retreaters who got a sneek peek.
The Canning Jar quilt and Lambs are calling to me this Springtime.
The directions are for 6" and 12" blocks, FUN!

I got the Alphabitties for the Fat Quarter Shop Snapshots BOM.
I need to make the Puppy Block.
The Kona Charm Packs in Pink and Purple- Irresistible!!!
Can there EVER be too much PURPLE???
I ordered this pretty fabric and the new Rotary Cutter at Trends.
 The Splash Rotary Cutter features the 'quick change' blade 
& is made for Left or Right hand use.
How about a "GIVEAWAY"????
I bought a couple extras so I can share.

The box from EESchenks came while DH was home. 
His boss says he needs to take 1 day/week off & use some of his Vacation time before years end.

I finished reading this Sandra Dallas Book this week.
It was written last year- from a young Japanese girls' point of view.

Last Saturday I helped sell some of our Quilt Guild Raffle Tickets-
It was Bike race week-end in downtown Walla Walla.
Thanks to Walla Walla Sew and Vac & Spas for hanging the quilt in their window.
They have tickets there to sell if you are in town.
We can only sell them in Washington State, in accordance with State Gambling rules.
Isn't it a Beautiful Quilt?
Made with Contrary Wife and Onery Husband blocks.
I made my 4 blocks last June HERE
It's KING Sized
Top planned & assembled by Marilee from blocks made by guild members.
Quilted by Liz

  3. I'm a righty, but, I had left hand tendencies growing up, and can use my left hand for lots of things. Thanks for the chance. I know someone else that is in Walla Walla, and is a quilter. Her name is Sally, and she collects and uses vintage sewing machines (like me). Small world.

  5. Beautiful raffle quilt! If I lived there, I'd buy 5. =) I love the Idaho scrappy blocks. I may have to make some! And I'm right handed and would love to win a PURPLE splash - no, you can never have too much purple, or too many rotary cutters. =) dezertsuz at gmail dot com

  6. Lovely raffle quilt.

    And nope, never such a thing as too much purple. =) I'd love to win the purple cutter.

    As for me I'm ambidextrous for most things - except for when it comes to using scissors or rotary cutters....and there I am a rightie. =)
