Fri-Yay- treasures

 I did my 12th stop with my Passport yesterday. 
2 more blue toned FAT Quarters. 
I might have enough for a wintry project now.

More Treasures from my Friend; Beanie
Grandmother's Flower Garden 

Appliqued Orange Peel Flowers 
I know that isn't the name.

A few closeup pics.


Very Vintage 

Bow Ties in a Diagonal setting. 

A few of the Kits found in a tote with no lid.
These might need to be made sooner.

An Advent Panel with Cats.

The Totes are many.
I am not sure how many projects I will keep 
Granddaughters and Quilt Guild friends
 will get first pick.

I'm hoping to hand Quilt the Vintage tops. 

I pray for those in Storms way on the East Coast!
Be safe!

WOW-WEDNESDAY-Happy Daughters Day ❤️

Today is Scrap day at Powered by Fabric.
I didn't go.
I have way too much to work on at home.
I got a Package with some 
Strawberry Lemonade fabric in it
Thanks Fat Quarter Shop!
They also had the ruler I've been searching for. 

My Friends Boyfriends mom had a Lot of Fabric and threads
These are really old, on wooden spools.

This is all the Gutterman Threads

Happy Daughters Day! 😃 
Janessa and NaDell
Daughters by Birth, so happy I had two!
I couldn't find one of us together that was recent.

I love my Daughters by Love, too

Shop Hop fun!

 While Shop Hopping on Saturday...
There was an Outdoor Quilt Show in Kennewick. 


Just a few of the Quilts we saw.

My phone took a picture of Shelly when I  wasn't paying attention.  Opps!


I stitched one of the K-Day designs on a T- Shirt.

A few of the pieces I  bought at the shops.

Nancy Halverson books are always fun

At the Bew Shop in Pendleton 
We got a free pattern with three indo on it.

My Fat Quarters so far.

This John Wayne Doll was at the Pendleton shop.
They had John Wayne fabric.  

2 Hot Air Balloons up as I left home 
in the Morning. 

We had way too much fun!
Hope we can get a few more local shops
Before the Hop is over.

Wow-Wednesday-HOME!!

We are home!
Time for picture posting and loads of Laundry. 
I wanna Stitch!
In our Mail was a letter from our children.
While we were gone they bought and delivered a Brand New Mattress for our bed.
The heavy lifters!
Joe & Jes
What a surprise to come home to! 
We fell right to sleep, up since 4am to catch the plane in Salt Lake City. 
I took this one after a 3 hour layover in Seattle. 

I did get in a few Stitches there.
These are the Hexies I worked on. 
I ran out of the hexie papers.
But not the Polka Dot squares.
People always ask what I'm making...
Not sure exactly yet.
But fun to start a conversation 
with fellow travelers.

This was on our last day!
Paul was a good sport to give me 2 days
 in the Gardens. 
He wanted to see his Cousins in Logan.
The drive through Sardine Canyon is Gorgeous. 

Clark and Marsha invited a few sisters to join us 
for a lunch time meal.
A sister in law left before the photo op. 

Janet Olsens "Mountains"

Good hubby drove further into the city
so I could visit 
My Girlfriend's Quilt Shoppe!
It was almost time for 3 at 3.
I saw Allison in the Shoppe so I  asked if
 I could visit the Studio.

Pumpkins were the project for the day.

I got to sit in the Girlfriend's GREEN  💚 chairs.
Kris Me and Allison!

We drove back to get a hotel.
I was hungry so I asked if we could go see my Cousin, Renee Sherwood.
It was Cousin Day, I read it online...
She sent me home with Cheesecakes!
YUMMY!!

Then we found a Chick-fil-a! 
I put in the Hotel and GPS took us on 
Mountain View Road.
Opps, wrong Hotel. 
Door entry card failed.
Story of our trip, lots of missed exits 
and wrong turns.

Next up is our Sunday Drive!

restored in the Pioneer Temple there.

It was so so Beautiful!

Thank you Turners for a good place to rest!
We miss having them close by in Walla Walla!
