Monday -Designing a Special Quilt

It's time to get working on a 

Wedding Quilt.

I didn't think I had Grandchild old enough.

But, it is happening! 

I found my Blue Roses Stash
 by Jackie Robinson.
I think some on the left will work.
I have a creamy Background of Roses for the Background.

My Humble Quilts Doll Quilt Swap partner sent this cute Pinwheel quilt.

This Swap is a favorite!
Happy Monday!!

Friday- Quilt Show Day

Krazy Horse Quilters Show is Today!

I  entered my Good Fortune, and the 

3 Granddaughters quilts. 

I mailed out 2 secret projects,

BEFORE the Deadline! 

My Humble Quilts Doll Quilt Swap.

Such tiny Binding! 

It told me to Hand Quilt it. 

That took a day away from sending it out.

My Spring Quilt Market Quilt is on its way to Minnesota, then to Kansas City. 

I forgot to get a Beauty shot :(

Wishing I had time to go and see it in the Benartex booth.

May calendar is Full up!!!

I have a wedding quilt to make.

I'm missing the Guild Quilt Retreat 

 This was 2015.

I had to at least look at the April UFO. 

49 blocks and 3 half blocks.

 This is using the novelty 1930's fabrics.

Gotta figure out the sashing. 

It goes on Point so it will look very different. 

2 days in April left to sew next week. 

The rest of the weekend will be 

Quilt Show travel related. 

Monday-Reveal

Alder Avenue Quilting did it again.

I couldn't quilt a Panto on my Butterfly!

It needed a Special Finish. 

It's bound and ready for the Antenna and maybe some Bling!! 

Bamboo/Cotton Batting

Black backing and binding.  

I will do the Antennas for sure.

Class is next week!

It was a busy weekend, starting on Friday. 

I delivered the

Chocolate covered Marshmallow Eggs. 

I used a cooler to transport them to Zillah and back to Richland and Kennewick. 

I took a fun "In the Hoop" Class with my 

Artist a Bernina.

I've been waiting for the chance to learn to make things in the Hoop!

Happy Earth Day!

Time for Dealings to be checked off...

To the Quilt Zone. 

Quilt Show next weekend.

WOW-WEDNESDAY - Secret Stitching, WIP, & Sneak Peek

It was National Stay in your PJ'S Day!

I needed to get the Secret Stitching Project 

for Animas Quilts to the Flimsy yesterday. 

Hurray,  stitching accomplished!

I found a great use for my
Essential Triangle Tool.
 Lined up the string-pieced flippy corners,
Put that 1/4" on the seams and Trim.
I  love finding a new way to use fun tools!

This Double Dresden Plate WIP was found
recently while sorting in the Quilt Zone.

Pieced, Placed, Pressed, & Pinned!

Wendy, Sylvia and I  started these in UTAH

last May or was it from a few months

 before at Road to California?? 

Not my colors...

Wendy posted her finished pillow yesterday on Instagram,  lol.

Now the Quilt Market Quilt is ready for the Quilting, I can get my Doll Swap quilt done.

Here's a Sneak peek.

Both the Quilt Market project and Doll Quilts Swap are due by May 1st.

Checking the boxes in my 

Quilter's Planner! 

Have a great Wednesday.

Monday Musings

The tradition continues.

We had Breakfast instead of lunch/dinner.

& a picture by the Temple.

This is the Star Valley Temple in Wyoming. 

 3 Crowther Generations

This is the newest Member of the Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-Day Saints!

(in our family)

 Picture with Grandma while we waited at the Thayne Stake Center for his Baptism.

I brought home some Wyoming Mud.

It was Mud all around B & T's new home. 

Don't try to walk to the front door, you might get stuck!

Looks what's coming up in September !!

Friday Finish on Saturday

I got the Binding sewn down enroute.

I tested it on the hotel bed. 

I finished as we got to Idaho Falls. 

Had to make a stop here.

Grandpa & Tall Boy Brant held it up

in their new house.

Blurry picture because someone was moving...

I think it is long enough to keep them warm in a Wyoming night.

They will Sleep good under the Stars.

It's Frosty out there this morning. 

Who ordered the White stuff??

It's Wednesday again!

This is me, new Hairdo, stitching placemats

At the Walla Walla Valley Quilt Guild Symposium! 

I love sharing tips and fun ideas with my Guild friends. 

I wrote the pattern in 2015.

Bonus- sold a few $5 each.

It can be made reversible. 

A fun way to use up those 

Tester & Orphan blocks.

I had a tulip, orphan block to show adding the triangles to put it on-Point.

The 2nd was leftover hsts made into a fun new Red &White block.

I took some Seattle Seahawks fabrics with ne. A little fussy-cut on point with corners added. Quilted strip by strip on batting. 

Add a Backing and Bind.

Today it's back to the Quilt Zone for more Secret Stitching. 

Design Wall Monday - not much to show

Since I can't show what I'm stitching ...

My granddaughter made a T-Shirt Quilt during her Spring Break.

I get to quilt it.

The TV got attached to the Wall.

I've been cleaning still, we are busy making room for the girls at Grandma Camp.
I have found some treasures.
Organizing is fun. NOT!

I've been a Member of Daughters of Utah Pioneers for 20+ years

This book came in the mail

 I can't wait to share this quilt.
I took it to my friend to work her Magic.

This is my Dad! 

1960 was a long time ago.  

I remember him today.

39 years ago he went to be with Momma.

39 Years later a LDS Temple was announced in my home town.

Moses Lake Washington

I squealed and cried!

I think they were Jumping for JOY!

I love Conference the beautiful Hymns that make me weep.

WOW-WEDNESDAY -fun Mail

This Pretty fabric arrived in my mailbox. 

It was selected and curated by Teresa Silva.

She was one of the last 2 in the contest I voted on Facebook and Instagram. 

Being a Random winner is fun!

These colors are so calming. 

I just want to sit and look at them.

2 projects are 

Off the Table this week. 

I stayed home for April Fools day.

I needed a Day in my Basement.
Then, this happened...

So, the Quilt was unloaded, a big piece of backing was sewn on, then it got re-loaded.
Quilt-on!
The red Snappers make the re-loading so much easier!!

Star Valley Stars needs the binding.

 I will get it attached and stitch it enroute to Wyoming next week. 

I love a Roadtrip  to see my Grandchildren!

The Pop Stars 'Seahawks' Table Runner is for a GAME NIGHT at
Walla Walla Sew N Vac and Spas.

Yea, for a quick finish while 'Betsy' was on.
