CHURN DASH ARROW

BLUE MEADOW 
by Olivia
I was so glad they could come and get these pictures with thier quilts!!
The Scrappy pile in the Silent Auction attracted them.
2 bags for $1, what a bargain.
They are making 4-patches for Grandma Quilt Camp this year.
I heard Olivia came home Monday from school and started stitching them. 
These Elders have to say goodbye today.
I altered the suit for the Elder leaving. 
He has lost a LOT of weight. 

 Fun to meet up with the Country Manor owner from Battleground Wa.

Design Wall Monday - Inspiration

It was a wonderful weekend at the Tri-Cities Quilt Show!
I spent Friday all-day there and volunteered at the Membership Table.
Signed up and re-newed a few Members for the Guild.

The "real" camera worked so much better for pictures.
Here are the Winning Quilts I found late Saturday afternoon.

1st Place Viewers Choice
"Stars for a New Day"
Image may contain: indoor

This was a Block of the Month from 'The Quilt Show' website a few years ago.

2nd Place Viewers Choice
No automatic alt text available.
Lots of FMQ on this one.

I didn't find the 3rd Choice Quilt.

There weren't as many Quiltville entries.
I expected more.
No automatic alt text available.


There were 2 Dear Jane's made by the same Quilter.
The 1st one done with Civil War Fabrics 

The 2nd one in 1930's

I found 2 Farmer's Wife and a 1930's Farmer's Wife Quilts

I have my Farmer's Wife Done, but it's not Quilted yet.

My 1930's Farmer's Wife is a stack of Blocks presently.
I love the Zig Zag setting.

Linking up HERE with Small Quilts and Doll Quilts

I'll share more from the Quilt Show on Wednesday.
Gotta go work on the Secret Stitching now.

Friday - Happy Quilt Show Day 1 - Sneak Peeks

 I went up to help set-up the Quilt Show yesterday.
That means- I know where the quilts are today.
No Hide and Seek to find them.
My Bloggy Friends get a Sneak Peek.

"Churn Dash Arrow"
by Elizabeth

"Blue Meadow" 
by Olivia

And the TaDA for "On Ringo Lake" and my WWVQG "Original BOM" 2016

 A folded-over Row by Row
 "On the Go"


The Tri-City Quilters have very nice Wooden Quilt stands.  
The boards that hold the Quilts go through the Hanging Sleeve.
For those without a sleeve, Plastic Skirt Hangers hold them as good as can be done.
I was so busy making sure the Girl's Quilts had Sleeves sewn on...
 I forgot to put one on my Row by Row.

I came home to sleep after watching our Grandson Pitch in a JR High Baseball game.
It was Windy and Cold, no pictures were taken.
I had lots of layers, gloves and a quilt on my lap. 
It helped alot, but that wind was bitterly cold.
Spring Baseball/ T-Ball MOMs have my respect!!!
Diehard Spectators
 CHEERING THEM ON!!

Gotta get better pics with people & the "real camera" of the Quilts today and tomorrow.
Rainy Day outside, a Great Day to go to a Quilt Show!!
Have a great Weekend.

Seams to Be Sew - QQQ Blog Hop Day 4

Quilt Qwazy Queens
Tuesday, March 20, 2018

It's MY Day!!!!
Be sure to go visit the Other Blogs today and sign up for the Giveaways

I've been thinking and thinking of what to write about my UFO's
UFO- an Unfinished project
I have quite a few...Haven't counted them in a while.

 I have them stored thoughout my Quilt Zone.
The Bed Risers raise my Ironing Table up to a good height and give more space to put my Totes.
I try to keep track of them as I start them in these UFO Books I made.
I take great Pleasure in finishing a Project and putting a BIG Checkmark on the page.
It helps to keep track when filling out forms for Quilt Shows and signing the label.

2018 One Monthly Goal
Choosing a ONE Monthly Goal has helped get a few DONE.
I don't always succeed in getting them all the way finished.
A FLIMSY (Un-Quilted Quilt Top) has to count some months.
Once it is a Flimsy I don't keep it in a tote.

This Month's OMG is on the Quilt Table.
I haven't been able to get it quilted, being out of town a LOT this month.
Here is how it looked after being my OMG around this time last year.
It's only been waiting 4 years to be finished.

Another Fun UFO that just needs Quilting is my
 "Buried Treasure"
It was started as a "Famous Quilters Siggy Quilt"
I think that I started Collecting the Siggies around 2005 when I moved to Walla Walla.
Jennifer Chiaverini did an "Authors Album Quilt" in one of her books.
I've collected signatures from the Quilters who I have taken classes and workshop from.
Also Quilters I've met at Quilt Shows, Quilt Market and Book Signings.

A LOT of the 4-patches were made while Demostrating at our County Fair.
This pattern is also called "Arkansas Crossroads"
I found another version HERE
