Design Wall/Floor Monday - October 31, 2016

It's the end of October and I have Pat Sloan & Tula Pink on my Design Wall/Floor.

All of my 12 Blocks for this BOM are Finished.

It didn't make it to a "Flimsy" for the OMG, oh well.

Some months just go that way.

I added more Tula Pink Blocks to the stack.

My Block Count for October is better than the last.

Total Blocks = 72

It's Halloween in the USA and we already Celebrated with the Kiddos at the Trunk or Treat.

Here's our 2016 Costumes

Thank heavens for battery Operated lights, a Sunshine Generation BOw tie & a Burger King Crown.

1975 Prom dress, Mom's Shawl, Earings & my Tiara.

Here are the local Grand sons who came with us.

A Firefighter and a Grim Reaper, his mask is on backwards for the picture.

No masks allowed, we want to see who it is.

Friday!!!! Missing FALL Quilt Market :(

Listening to my Phone beep every time Instagram pics go up from Market brings on the memories...

I'm distracted and want to spend all day on my Phone, lol

I made a Quick Dash to Tri-Cities yesterday for the Color Cards Bonnie Revealed on Thursday.

Go HERE, unless you already have, hahaha

My local Sherwin Williams had only 2 of the colors. 

So here are the Colors I've put in this booklet with the Mystery Picture copied from Quiltville.

I hurried to put the Pages I printed yesterday in here.

I took them with me to LOWE'S.

The cards were plentiful and easy to find with the numbers given on Facebook.

I didn't take too many just an extra set for a friend.

Before I went to town I looked at the Quiltville Blog

I thought, "Easter EGG" colors.

I had to look at my STASH and remembered my Michael Miller Fairy Frost fabrics.

Here's my choices with a few extra fabrics thrown in for now.

Bonnie's Colorway

And my Option, trading the Yellow for Baby Blue. 

The Greens are the BIG Question.

Which shade will WIN?

What do you think?

I have these totes I bought at Costco.

I wonder where my Inspiration came from???

I have a LOT of Purples but not all of them are the 'right' ones.
For Example my  Diamond Jubilee Dash

Good thing I had the Color card at the Fabric Store.

It jumped off the shelf at me.

I HAD to BUY a Little...

I'm attracted to all things PURPLE!

SOOOO glad Bonnie put 2 shades in this years Mystery.

I have more stuff to get done today so it's time to get my day started.

I know it's almost NOON!

This is on the agenda---

Gotta get my Trunk Ready for the "Trunk or Treat"

Even one of my Pumpkins had to be Purple.

I looked for Purple Battery Operated lights, None to be found at Lowe's.

There will be some Spray paint and Glitter going on...

Have a Hauntingly, Happy Friday!

I read it's "National Chocolate Day"

Better find my Button.

WOW - Wednesday October 26,2016

It's a WET Wednesday in the Pacific Northwest.

A rainy day to stay inside and SEW!

I played in the Quilt Zone and got another Block made for my OMG project.

Pat Sloan has Block 10 and all the finishing instructions HERE

I laid them out and saw that I still need the Block 9 and Block 2 Bonus block.

I probably won't get my OMG to the Flimsy, I might get all the Blocks done.

That is good enough for me. 

Maybe not enough to call it Finished over at Red Letter Quilts HERE.

I have played too much in the Tula Fabrics.

Blocks 61-70

YEA, only 30 Left to make.

I'm finally getting some Organizing done in the Quilt Zone too. 

No Pictures...

You know how the mess is wore while you're in the midst of it.

My Cutting table needs to be CLEARED so I can be ready for the Quiltville Mystery 2016

I thought Bonnie might shared the color cards on QuiltCAM last night, (Sad face)

I put my Phone in view while I sewed a few hourglass Leader/Enders.

I have to cut a bunch to have by my machine during the Mystery, of course.

My Block count is bound to be BIGGER this month.

Happy Wednesday!  

5 sleeps until Halloween...

Design Wall Monday - October 24, 2016

Lori's Humble Quilt SAL is on the Design Floor today.  

 She calls it "Quilter's Madder"

I got some of the blocks made but need to finish the last half blocks for the outside edge.

I can still move them around at this point.

Her Finale is HERE

I  had some time to myself and decided to play with some Cushion making.

I didn't get much during the week.

It's been a while since I did any Piping and tried to put in a Zipper.

They look a bit crooked but I think they will work for my Sister's new Reading spot.

There are 4 different little window seats in her new place.

These worked up fairly fast.

The stuffing of the foam inside took a bit of patience. 

  The longer Zipper helped.

I used two different fabrics so they are sort of reversible.

Have I said how happy I am to have my Sister closer???

We had a fun start of the week-end going to a 

Milton Freewater Chinese American Restaurant with them.

Almond Fried Chicken, BBQ Pork and Fortune cookie Memories!

The number of Tula Pink Blocks left to make is dwindling.

Blocks 63-69

Linking up HERE for Design Wall Monday.

Something in the AIR - Rainy Friday

It's a rainy Friday and I have decided to take it OFF!

I didn't get any more of my Humble Quilts "Madder"  SAL worked on this week of

TOO MUCH to DO. The Finale' is HERE

I didn't on the Community Service Projects I brought home from Tri-City Quilt guild either.

 

I had big plans to play with my new Bonnie Hunter Essential Tool.

Bad News comes in 3's

But So does Good News

At Lacey Lacers this week we learned more about Needle lace.

I made my Butterfly Challenge but now I see a different way to do it.

Lesson 2 is coming.

I got these Goodies from the Shop Hop.

 & my Sister is unpacking at her new Place.

Have a good weekend whatever you do. 

WOW Wednesday - October is half gone

Looking at my Goals I'm doing pretty good, even with all the Road trips, 

running errands, meetings, and STUFF!

My Humble Quilts SAL, is calling me today.

I need to play Catch-up!

And my last 2 Pat Sloan "My Secret Garden" blocks are still waiting to be sewn. 

My Bus to the Spokane show way too much FUN.  

The Show was SEW Great too!

Here are a few of my Favorites. 

Just for those of you who read my Wednesday posts...lol

These aren't my quilts so I'm not labeling them one by one.

Loved seeing the Quiltville Quilts!

I missed one of the Grand Illusions that was by the front door.

Grand Illusion and Smith Mountain Morning

I had to check HERE to make sure I was calling it by the right name.  

2 of the 2015 Mystery Allietare

One had 'ant's on it.  Fun black on white Neutral!

A few that made me stop and say AWE...

 The bottom says "You know and I know and that's what matters"

This was called Day & Night

 Just for my Son and friends who like PIGS and BACON.

There are many more, but I have to get out the door soon and try to get home to sew later today.

The Driveway is all Poured!!! Yea for the little things that make me smile.

No markings per the Hubby's directions and the fast setting cement.

What's happening in your Quilt Zone?

Design Wall Monday - October 17, 2016

On my Design Wall are my most recent Blocks for the Tula Pink City Sampler.

Moving on to making the next 10.

It's nice to get back to Rectangles and squares. 

 HST's weren't as easy as you think with directional fabrics.

Friday I caught an early Bus with 54 of my Quilt Guild Friends and went to Spokane.

The Washington State Quilters show was SEW FUN!

I took some handwork to play with once the sun came out.

Baby Blocks with the kit I got from Franny and Jane at Quilt Market.

Meeting up with a Few WASIQ friends made it even better.

First ones I saw were Julie H & Mel D on the left

It was the first time to meet Bert K on my Right.

Julie and Mel stayed the weekend at a local hotel for a mini retreat!

After we met up for Lunch - more WASIQ ladies.

You know what happens when Quilters get together???

They influence the buying of Patterns, LOL

Mel, Julie and I bought the same pattern to make for Christmas this year.

I borrowed this picture from Mel.  lol

My Goodies from the show.

I'll share some of the Quilts seen in my Wednesday Post.

Come on back to see.
Here's what the Driveway looks like.

So glad they smoothed out where the neighbors cat tried to leave her mark.
DH says I can't put a Quilt Block in it. Bummer!
