Design Wall Monday - OMG & UFO -No Go

My Month of Stitching was so Limited that my OMG isn't finished and my UFO was a No- Go.

I did get 3 more rows made and am ready to assemble.

Here's your sneak Peek for the week.

The Luggage Row came from Tennesee, Thanks again Susan N.

I messed up a little and omitted the fused corners on mine. 

I spent most of Saturday at the Machine and Ironing Board.

DH is asking lots of Questions as he watches the Row by Row grow.

It covers the Living Room Floor right now.

 I am hopeful for a Finish later this week.

I finally found the Neutral Sashing I was looking for.

I knew I had more of it.

I recieved another package in the mail from Bonnie.

DUH, I ordered the Doug Leko Ruler twice!

I was so excited to get to her SHOP in time to get the Ruler Stickers this time.

That explains the kind of month it was.

Here's to a Better Month.  

New Goals to set and some Planned FAIR time to get stuff DONE.

Linking up HERE with Small Quilts.

Wow Wednesday - A Day Late...

When you lose a whole day of your Life...
I've not been that Sick in a long, long time.

My Row by Row was calling me.
I tried to get the Discount Sew n Vac Row finished.

 I got the Balloon pieces fused to the fabrics.
It looks pretty good.
I need a white Balloon shaped piece to do some fancy stitches between the colors
 before adding it to the Row.

I made this tiny Friendship Star for the mini quilt that is an option on this Row.
An inch and one-eighth squares, whew, TOO Tiny!
Then I re-read the pattern, I need one more of them and 2 tiny 9-patches.

I'm too brain dead to think about it today.
Hope you're week is going better than mine.

Design Wall Monday - July 24th

After a long Roadtrip and emotional services for my Brother,  we took this photo.
Just 4 of the 5 of us are left.
I love my siblings.

I didn't get a chance to cut or Sew all weekend.
I was "Itching to be Stitching" this morning.

After a bit of not so nice business on the phone and a Meeting I got to it.

I needed one more vertical Row for my Quilt

  I chose to make the Discount Fabrics Row from Kennewick.  

It had a few of my NOT FAVORITE block in it.

 I pushed through with a little help from my "frogger".

I just can't make a Log Cabin or even a Quarter Log Cabin without ripping.

This cute pin cushion arrived in the mail.
 Thanks Barb L from the Leavenworth Retreat.

Tonight is our Ward Pioneer Family Home Evening.

Every year I spend this day 'wishing' I lived in UTAH!

Friday Progress -2017 Row by Row

I have worked on my Rows, and laid them out how I thought I wanted to have them.

I slept on it over night and had an great idea, the above picture is NOT how it is going to be.

I went to get some of the Fabric that goes with the Row By Row this year at Lynn's.

LOL, I had already purchased Far Quarters of the fabrics.

And I'm thinking of HOW to Quilt it.
Left-Paisley Meander or  Right- Beauty ???

Sewing calms my heart.

Even when I get the Row wrong.

Ratherbe's in Pomeroy Row.

I read right on the Pattern to make sure the figures faced WEST.

Oops, they are going opposite of the way shown in the picture.

This Row took all day!

306 Pieces - each one only 1-1/2" 

I had fun choosing random Pinks and Black and Neutrals.
A few of the Pinks are a bit too light.
This pattern came from Daydreams Quilt Shop in Idaho Falls,ID
 Now I want to make it with Bigger Squares.

My Quilt now has rows from more than Washington.
I think I need 1 more Vertical Row and 2 more Horizontal Rows to finish.

This week has been extra long waiting for my Brother's Memorial services.
I had planned to be at the Lacey Lacer's IOLI Convention in Pennsylvania.
Just watching the Pictures that show up on my Facebook and Instagram feed.
It looks like they had Fun, but, I wouldn't have been good company.
I'm so glad I could get those plans changed.

WOW- Wednesday -New QAL Starting, 2017 Row by Row

Lori Holt's NEW Book 

"Spelling Bee" is Here and the QAL starts later this Fall.

The School House Block Tutorial is HERE

Lori and the Fat Quarter Shop included a Signed Bookmark from Lori with the Book.
This week she shared another Quilt from the Book.
There are Lower & Uppercase Letters, Numbers and Punctuatiion marks.
18 different possible setting ideas.
Once again, the Blocks are given with either 6" or 12" cutting directions.

Meanwhile I have been still Collecting Rows as I travel, and making rows when I am home.
The Row from Ephrata has worked up pretty nicely.
The Panel sure made it easier than Piecing :)

I used my Embroidery machine for the signs on the tree.

This will also serve as my Label.

Here are my Prosser and Amelia's rows.

There is some embellishments to be added after Quilting.
The Sewing Basket Row needs the stiching thread between the spools.
I loved the fabric selected for them, it looks like thread.
For the Amelia's Quilt Shop Row, I had to make my Sewing Machine Purple, of course.
The Pin Cushion in the 1st square, needs some Pins.
I spent most of a day doing the stitching around the fusible on the Rows.
That takes a while to do, and lots of changing of thread.
I have WON at Amelia's, Sewing Basket and in Athena, Oregon.
Where will I WIN this year?
Now I have enough Rows made to complete a "Totally Washington" Quilt.
I think I want it bigger, though.
Julie H. inspires me, HERE

We had a few great Christmas Ideas shared at Tri-Cities Quilt Guild on Monday.
Have you started on your Christmas Projects, yet?

Design Wall Monday - July 17, 2017

The Row by Row is Not going to be done as Quick as last year.

There has only been one winner Locally that I know of.
 I'm taking my Time.

I will have the Quilt with the Most travelled Rows collected!

Here are Pictures of the Rows I picked up recently.

 Lots of Stitchery on this one.

The Brigham City Row is Christmas Themed, the kit was Wool & Flannel.

I have seen the Row at Amelia's and I want to go and get it.

I want to put in the Rows from where I have WON before. LOL

Today is Tri-Cities Quilt Guild
I have a Charity quilt to finish the Binding on, so that is on my Mind to get finished.

I've spent most of my time playing with Pictures of my Brother.
I figured out that I could save $$$ by Burning my own CD's.
96 Pictures are saved on CD's for My Brothers family now.

Farewell to my Brother - Derlyn W Brown

 Derlyn NaOla Alma & Allan

One of the 1st Family Pictures

1942 

Derlyn Momma Allan with thier Dog

Clearfield - 1945

I loved finding this Picture

In a Journal my Mother left it said,

"Derlyn Says: 'I sleep in the Tent Everyday, Everyday'"

 This was taken with Grandma & Grandpa Waite & Cleve

somewhere near Spokane - 1946

They took a trip to Yellowstone and saw a Bear, too

The Journal said, "Derlyn sang all the next day, 

'No bears out today, they be out tomorrow'"

 Family Photo taken in 1959

I think this is my Favorite!

 Thanksgiving, Our last Brown Family Photo -1977

I remember this one with sadness.

My Mother was very sick and had lost so much weight,

she was wearing clothes I made for myself in 8th grade.

In October last year we went to listen to Roma & Gordon speak after thier Mission.

Paul took this picture of me with my Brother, Derlyn.

To show what a tease he was, I share this last picture, taken by Paul.

Roma and I bought Hats at the Dollar Store

I said lets get a picture, and who snuck up behind to give us Bunny Ears?

My Silly Brother!

My children have Memories of him taking us on the Grand Coulee Dam Tour.

Up and Down the side of the Dam to see the tubines. 

They don't allow that anymore.

Watching the Laser Light Show, and rides on Lake Roosevelt behind his boat.

His Sweetheart of 52 Years found him just sitting outside in a chair Thursday Morning.

We'll gather to honor him next week.

Farewell for just a little while...

You Lived and Loved everyone and WE all Loved you!
