In Honor of Americas many lives lost!

I'll be back on Friday!

Design Wall Monday- New, Fun Stuff

I have been Blog Hopping and got a bit off track at Happy Quilting HERE.

My Facebook and Instagram friends

 saw this last Friday.

I ordered a NEW iron.

It came and I love it!

It's Cordless and it's PURPLE!

Perfect for pressing HSTs.

I used some 'Paintbox' fat Quarters instead of Charm Squares for my Arrows. 

I can stitch up multiples and make a 

bigger quilt, right?

Those Grandsons might like it.

Not too flowery,  bold, bright solids.

I have made enough for 8 bigger Blocks.

I think I will need 24 or 36. 

It was a distraction on a Stay-at-Home day.

This Squishie arrived from Quilt in a Day.

I signed up for the Mini Block Party

 this Summer.

Each month has brought a new pattern and for September,  though late for the August Facebook Live/YouTube Block party.

It's Eleanor's new fabric line called 

Zelie Ann, named after her old 

Hometown 'Zelienople' in Pennsylvania.

It's my Busy, get Ready for the

Walla  Walla Quilt Festival Week. 

Daughters of Utah Pioneers starts back up today, Tuesday is WW Quilt Guild.

I missed it last month for a Sweets Game, lol.

Thursday is set-up day, Friday Quilt Festival begins at 10am.  

Quilts were delivered along with my Challenge Block.

The Granddaughters will come on Saturday. 

Our Temple is closed for 6 weeks so I can Spend Saturdays doing other fun things.

Oh, do I have plans!

The BLOG-O-VERSARY prizes have been recieved, Thanks for letting me know that they came right on time. 

USPS delivers on time everywhere

 except to Wyoming. 

Have a great Monday! 

Linking up HERE with Small Quilts.

1st Friday September-OMG

I knew I loved September!

I had 2 Babies in the Month. 

I Celebrate my Daddy's Birthday later too.

And there's always the Walla Walla Quilt Festival to attend.

My Challenge quilt didn't get finished, but I  had fun with the Tula fabric to make my Challenge Block.

I will share it next week. 

I always have good intentions to get something finished every month.

My OMGs and UFOs aren't doing great.

My OMG/UFO for September is the Pat Sloan BOM from last year "Let's Go Camping"

I think I can get it to a flimsy.

I have another block or 2 to make.

Where's that Tote?

It's the day before the OMG link-up closes. 

Linking up HERE

That Startitis is hitting me hard. 

Too many Blogs to see and inspiration too!

I hope you're getting your stitches in.

Design Wall/Floor Monday-Desire to Inspire

HERE is the good link for the 

Desire to Inspire at Henry Glass.

"Shoe Love is True Love"

by Kate Maudsley from England

This is my Flimsy.

When I get to it. I have a High Heels Quilting Pattern on 'Betsy'.

Here is the "Swiss Cheese" from the Panel stripe.

I thought with Back to School a Covered Composition Book might be handy. 

Selvages on the pocket.

I might do a Tutorial later, watch for it

My Camera needed a Bag to carry it at the Fair.

See if you spot it in the pictures below.

Funny, I didn't take picture with it at the Fair.

2 of my 3 Girls from Quitin Grandma Camp

I love these Girls!

All the Pillowcases got Blue

Had to get  a few Dippy Dogs.

Homemade by the local Eagles club, the grandkids liked them too.

My DD#1 and I love Funnel Cake!

It's too much to eat by ourselves, so we share.

On the last sewing day of the month, I made my Quilter's Planner SAL.

I tried to quilt a Challenge quilt for the Quilt Festival,

Betsy didn't like any of the patterns I tried.

So, No Challenge entry for me this year, again.

Happy Labor Day! 

It's early this year, and hubby is up and out in the yard Working!

Linking to Design Wall Monday HERE
AND I see the Quilt Shop Gal has me on her Creative Blog list again HERE

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.

Wow-Wednesday- Working on Henry Glass Challenge

I have been playing with these Fabrics and fussy cutting to make the projects for August #desiretoinspire for Henry Glass. 

Tomorrow's the Day I turn in my Photos!!

My secret stitching reveal that will be on 

the Henry Glass Blog HERE

I'll add a link to it when I see it is there.

Lydia's  Quilting Grandma Camp quilt is finished!

I quilted 'Dreamy Clouds' on it.

I'll take it to have her write on the label this weekend. 

The BLOG-O-VERSARY got just 5 Comments.

I had 3 gifts chosen. 

So...I have decided All 5 get a prize.

Watch your mail.

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

TADA

He's 8 and did sew great!

My wagonful of Fair Entries

Lego projects in the boxes.

And Food Entries in space between.

Cherry Pecan Refrigerator Cookies, fudge and Orange Truffles.

Some cutting happening in the Quilt Zone!

Fussy-cutting and Triangles.

What will they Become??

Just a teaser... for the end of August.

Just a few more days for the

 BLOG-O-VERSARY Giveaway.

Comment on THIS POST 

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.

This one was chosen Queen of Hearts

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

"Shoe Love is True Love"
