WOW - Wednesday

Today I ask my fellow Bloggers to guess what they think my oldest UFO is?? 

Last night I quilted one from 2008

That's a 14 year old UFO.

It's got the binding on and is ready to stitch on our way to the Temple Thursday.

Final reveal picture will beat the quilt Festival, if I enter it.

Do  any of you remember this one that I found in 2016??

Circa 2004

I never did do the Seminole Border.

Should I just quilt it and be done??

I know there are older ones somewhere downstairs.

I can't find my UFO List that I compiled.

So, I guess I'll have to make a new list for 2021-2022 NewFO's, TBQ's and Blocks to be set.

I'm still trying to decide what Quilts to enter in the WallaWalla Quilt Festival.

September 1st is the deadline to enter.

I am cutting it very close.

Monday Morning Ta Da

I learned a new word from Janet O.

Never heard of such an oddly spelled word that means beauty. Have you??

"pulchritude"

I laid out all the Ruby Jubilee Blocks before putting it away til QM November/ December issue arrives. 

Definitely NOT the final layout!

I counted and listed them by name. 

Made a list and checked it twice.

There is one more block in part 4 to make.  Opps!

The block that I had to fix after posting last Wednesday needs a duplicate.

See the dark chain block near the bottom.

It's not a hard block, 12". Plus I  can use a fabric that I have not used much in the other Blocks.

If hubby will let me sew a bit this morning.  

He's asking if I want to help plant the Tulips and Mums I brought home the other day. 

Ah, Not really!

 Gotta share this picture that I took that reminded me of President Johnson in Omaha. 

See the huge 'Elephant Ear plant'??

President bought a few of these bulbs and planted them right in the middle of Sister Johnsons flower bed where they took over. 

Had to send it to her for a memory.

See these plaques? 

Two of them are the ones that were stolen at the Winter Quarters Pioneer Cemetery. 

I posted the Angel's on the gates by mistake. 

I am correcting the error. 

Sad that someone took these, but glad it wasn't the ones I thought they were.

Mondays have become my rest days, after a busy week. 

And the coming week, I'm going to need it!

We have some reason to be in Tri-Cities 

Wednesday-Saturday. 

3 Temple days and 2 Funerals = 5 trips

We will see if we go to all that is planned.

 Wednesday is Free Day at the 

Walla Walla Fair and Frontier Days. 

I didn't enter anything for the 1st time, 

in a very long time.

Nothing that I really want to go see.

The Brothers Osbourne aren't a favorite. 

Hope it's a good week!

Today would have been my middle Brother's 

#80 Birthday!

Picture taken when we went to Arizona to visit.

He was so proud of that Orange Tree!

Miss him so much!!!

WOW-Wednesday

What I'm Working on...

Still playing in the Purples!!

Here's  part 3 DONE!

These Peppermint Schnapps blocks are only 6"

The next 2 pictures are Part 4

I made a 2nd Spoolin' Around block, bottom left. Oops, I forgot to take another picture.

And I see a turned 4 patch in that block on the right.

My 16 patch blocks aren't all the same.

Just using all the Purple Stash!💜

I tallied and wrote down how many blocks I have made so far, I have 13 left to make for Part 5.

They are all cut out, ready to sew today.

Then I'll have  106 Blocks.

Sizes are 12" 10", 8" , 6" and 2"x4" flying geese 

The Reveal comes in the

 November/December QM issue.

Sew Happy with all that I have accomplished 

this week on this project.

Next up... 2 Baby Boy quilts.

One is a 2 year old so his will be bigger, maybe.

I'm using a Missouri Star Tutorial. 

Maybe it will be ready to be shared next Week.

It's Monday, Making Day

 I'm slept all night without coughing and getting up multiple times. 

I think I have hit the end of this sick time.

I never want to catch it again!

On Saturday night I had energy to cut out some blocks for my Mystery with

Quiltmaker "Ruby Jubilee"

I hadn't touched it since early May. I have 2 more parts to catch up.

I loved playing in my Purple Stash with the Shadow Play that I finally ordered from MSQC.

I love sewing on my Purple Bernina. 

I wish I had taken it with me to Omaha along with my Embriodery Machine.

There are a Bunch of flying Geese to make. 

Lots of lines to draw on the back for making 4 at a time.

I love my Sandpaper board that my Quilt Buddy Lynn gave me.

Today I will fix the center of that double Pinwheel Block and finish the basket Blocks.

Maybe I can start on the Flying Geese.

There are many other projects calling to me. 

I NEED something finished to put in the Walla Walla Valley Quilt Festival.

Will it be matching Baby Boy Quilts, my 2022 Quiltville Mystery- Rhodedenron Trail, 

2022 Moda Block Challenge, Blue Birds, or Grassy Creek.

I also have a project with my Mission Siggies that is percolating.

That would be nice to have done for our Reunion in September in St George.
