Fair Friday - My entries

My Mini hand-quilted "Sajou" got a Red

Seahawks Table runner got a Red also.

A Blue Ribbon for my Jelly Roll

Challenge quilt, made last year.

I have never gotten a White Ribbon!

That's what my Row by Row got.

My baked goods didn't fare too well either.

Truffles got Blue,  but the judges didn't like my fudge or cookies, (no pic).

I haven't entered food much. 

Oh well, it's my last Fair for a couple years.

I went to see a get a few pictures on Wednesday afternoon.

I didn't stay long!

Oh well, I'll share the Grandchildren's entries later.

They are in School so Saturday is the only day they can come.

Design Wall Monday

One last Quiltin Grandma Camp 

Quilt to Bind.

I've been looking everywhere for it!

This morning, I finally found it.

It's cut and ready to get sewn and pressed

Then I can tack it down while

 I rest up tonight.

It was a busy weekend. 

Our 6th Granddaughter turns 6 today. 

We got there too late to sing the song, eat the cake, & watch the girlies hit the Pinata. 

We had her dad take our picture.

The Bishop took a different one to Submit with our Mission papers. 

And now we wait...

 Today, I  am  cutting with my 

2 favorite Rulers 

The Essential Triangle Tool and

 Tucker Trimmer.

These 2 rulers make Hsts better.

Finally Friday- Weekends

I have had a crazy week! 

Appointments and Stuff...

 I won't share all the details.

But my Mission Paperwork is almost Done.

Doing the Happy Dance!!

I still have a few shots to finish the series.

Paul has had the Drs paperwork for awhile.

This is what happened since Tuesdays post.

Jacob and Jackson came, but only Jacob sewed.

First he pinned, lol

He's 8 and did sew great!

My wagonful of Fair Entries

Lego projects in the boxes.

Design Wall Monday on a Tuesday, lol

Somedays it's a Monday all week!

I woke up to my alarm, pushed snooze and fell back asleep. 

I thought just a half hour more...

Opps, woke up at 9:50.

Tri-Cities Quilt Guild starts at 10:30.

Zoomed over after packing the sewing machine, bolts of fabrics and 2 Quilts out to the car.

Got there as the program was going on.

My friend who has opened her Quilt Shop in Benton City. Honeybee Quilts.

She got to choose the winner of the Heart Challenge.
I missed out getting hearts in February.

These quilts will go to Community Service.

I did get to VOTE for the Featured Quilter for 2020 Tri-Cities Quilters Show.

Della Ward

Jean Zoot

Dana Pearson
 The voting continues through August 23

Then I went to make Pillowcases at DD#1 house with her 4 children.

The older girls had to go pick up their School Schedules and get their School ID Picture taken.

I stayed to watch these 2 and took their picture, with their finished Pillowcases.
I needed to have the older girls sign their Labels on the quilts I finished last week.
The big Reveal to come at the Fair.
For now I have some more Binding to do.

The 3rd Granddaughter's quilt will debut at the Quilt Festival in September.

Wow-Wednesday What I'm Working on...

Since Betsy is down for the count, it seems.

EDITED:Betsy is doing better. 

I'm back on schedule for Fair entries.

I have a day to consider my options.

Everything happens for a reason.

I hadn't heard from my Friend that has me stitch her Bindings down in a while.

Yesterday, I got a call. 

It's a fairly large quilt.

She has been busy stitching this Summer.

I need a Stitching day.

My calendar is not Full so...

That's what I'm going to do. 

Watch for Friday's post to see a sneak peek of my project with the fabric

Design Wall Monday- Betsy's in Time out

Betsy is still in Time out!

I went to the LQS and asked if they knew why I was getting this error message.

He had no idea!

He said, "Maybe Betsy has taken

 her last breath"

He said to try un-plugging the cables and try again after replacing them.

I've done all that...

Betsy is still stitching in one place and the lights on the controls are blinking. 

I read back on my Blog for others time Betsy acted like this.

I am thinking it has to be something 

I put back in wrong.

I even looked for pictures in the manual to recheck the connections. 

Sorry to Vent again on the Blog!

I got the Binding stitched on my Cascadia. 

This is a  crooked picture of it.

The Sew-Along was in 2014.

I 1st tried quilting it back in 2015 HERE.

That was after another time of BAD Betsy!

Here's hoping its an easy fix.

Watch for the next Post.

It's almost BLOG-O-VERSARY TIME!
