I was grounded for the weekend, happily though because that meant I didn't have to be anywhere.
Thanks to the DD #2 and her Hubby for the rides to the last Baseball games this week! :)
Thursday evening games were in our favor, not so much the Friday game.
But Grandson J got to pitch the final inning.
The picture on the left shows the happy cousins celebrating the BIG Inter-city Tournament Win.
Look at the size of that Trophy!
I played with my Circa 2016 mini blocks all week and got them all caught up with
Friday Night Sew-in- while Kathy in Canada sewed with her friends.
Now to get the 120 Hst's all done between the stitching.
Since Paul was gone I had time to cut and sew 5 of my 1930's Farmer's Wife Blocks too.
Poppy was a BIG Pain to make - I see now that I turned the hst's in the wrong.
I also lost a few points... I will be re-making this one.
Mrs Anderson was made back in March. I ran out of the green with the lambs and little biy
so I saved it to finish later. Had to use a different green.
I think that is what the Farmer's Wife would have done in the 1st place.
Mrs Anderson Judy
Doris Lady
That was a LOT of cutting so I chose an easy one to make last- Lady!
It was good to have Marti's reminder about Mirror image placement on the corners.
I have 10 more to catch up on...Saturday afternoon was QuiltCam over at Quiltville.

I decided it was time to share my
Finished Grand Illusion with Bonnie LIVE!
Off the Porch beneath the Hydrangeas and in front of my little gardener statue from Marge.
I miss her every time I look out and she's not there watering her flowers.
Beside the statue is a solar flower I got for Mother's day from DD #2.
I forgot to show it.
Bonnie made my day with her kind words.
I always try to stay positive in my comments.
Sometimes I'm called "Pollyanna"
Hope it's a good day to start out the first full week of Summer for my Grandchildren
and my Blog Followers too.
It's a Good day in Blogland---Linking up HERE











Look at you go with your FW blocks! I'm happy the Judy block wasn't misbehaving. :) They all look great.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly how giddy you felt when Bonnie showed your picture. :) It's always good to get that shout out!!
Have a wonderful week.
Love the bright border for Grand Illusion!
ReplyDeleteHave you tried arranging the Temecula blocks into any design possibilities?
ReplyDeleteI especially like the "Poppy" block. Very pretty!
Your Grand Illusion looks beautiful beside your flowers, Mary!
