Design Wall/Floor Monday - October 31, 2016

It's the end of October and I have Pat Sloan & Tula Pink on my Design Wall/Floor.

All of my 12 Blocks for this BOM are Finished.

It didn't make it to a "Flimsy" for the OMG, oh well.

Some months just go that way.

I added more Tula Pink Blocks to the stack.

My Block Count for October is better than the last.

Total Blocks = 72

It's Halloween in the USA and we already Celebrated with the Kiddos at the Trunk or Treat.

Here's our 2016 Costumes

Thank heavens for battery Operated lights, a Sunshine Generation BOw tie & a Burger King Crown.

1975 Prom dress, Mom's Shawl, Earings & my Tiara.

Here are the local Grand sons who came with us.

A Firefighter and a Grim Reaper, his mask is on backwards for the picture.

No masks allowed, we want to see who it is.

Design Wall Monday - October 24, 2016

Lori's Humble Quilt SAL is on the Design Floor today.  

 She calls it "Quilter's Madder"

I got some of the blocks made but need to finish the last half blocks for the outside edge.

I can still move them around at this point.

Her Finale is HERE

I  had some time to myself and decided to play with some Cushion making.

I didn't get much during the week.

It's been a while since I did any Piping and tried to put in a Zipper.

They look a bit crooked but I think they will work for my Sister's new Reading spot.

There are 4 different little window seats in her new place.

These worked up fairly fast.

The stuffing of the foam inside took a bit of patience. 

  The longer Zipper helped.

I used two different fabrics so they are sort of reversible.

Have I said how happy I am to have my Sister closer???

We had a fun start of the week-end going to a 

Milton Freewater Chinese American Restaurant with them.

Almond Fried Chicken, BBQ Pork and Fortune cookie Memories!

The number of Tula Pink Blocks left to make is dwindling.

Blocks 63-69

Wednesday - WOW Day 50 Tula Pink Sampler

IT'S Day 50!!

Toot the horns, pop the confetti!!!!

Here's my Day 50 Block

You can't see it, but there's a bit of Sparkle in this one.

The blue is a fabric with bling.

It's good to Celebrate this milestone day.

I tried taking pictures if all the blocks on the flannel I had them pinned to.

Photo Fail #1

Hanging by 1 pin just didn't work and the wind blew them around too.

So I unpinned them all and laid them on the Living Room Floor.

Much Better!
1-50 of 100 Blocks

Blocks 41-50

It's been fun to see my Tula Stash being cut up and turned into these fun Blocks.

I got the news that I WON a Prize from Meadow Mist Designs HERE.

I get to choose 3 PDF Patterns from her ETSY site.

I have to choose, click the link and tell me which ones you would choose.

It was from the Blogger's Quilt Festival Random drawing.

Thanks to all the Sponsors and Amy!!!

Meanwhile...

 I did get the New Block Pages printed for My Secret Garden and 1930's Farmer's Wife.

I need to get something else done besides playing with my Tula Pink Stash.

There are still 3 Bindings waiting to be attached and sewn down.

I'm hoping for a Road Trip to tack one of them down.

It's the end of the Shop Hop on the Dry Side Week.

I have collected a few of the patterns. I'll show them another day.

Have a Great Wednesday

It's Sweater Weather!!

WOW Wednesday - Working on it!

I seem to have a one track mind in my Quilting Zone lately.  

The Tula Pink Sampler has taken over all other projects.

I saw two examples of Setting the Tula Pink Sampler Blocks at the Quilt Festival. 

The one on the left is made in Christmas Fabrics by Pat J.

The 2nd one is called Stash Bash by M'liss M

Since I am nearly half way to the 100 blocks I thought I should be looking at the settings.

I like the shadow effect and the connected sashing too.  

Guess I need some help from my Quilting Committee.

I am doing good at keeping up with posting the correct Block each day and adding the hastags,

Here are the last 2.

Fussy Cutting is FUN, even when I sew one (Snail) upside down.

Who would have thought I would be using Hastags!???

I'm feeling OLD, can you tell?

My Baby turned 30 this month and my oldest will be 40 next year.

Monday she didn't have to go to WORK so we had Lunch. 

 First time since her Birthday was on a Sunday and I was traveling that we had a chance.

Tried out the Paninni at GRAZE.

She's much better at taking Selfies than I am.

No Selfie stick required this time.

Pat Sloan has Blogged the FINAL part of this year's  Secret Garden Block of the Month  HERE.

I still need to make the two blocks from last month. LOL

And this is on my Quilting Table today.

Allietare' is getting the Quilting!  

I am quilting it with Black Thread, I am not sure I'm liking it, but I wanted to start.

No time to go and buy more Thread.

The Bobbins are adding up...how many will it take?

Whatcha working on this Warm Wednesday??

Fall returns tomorrow with Rainy weather.

Design Wall Monday - September 26, 2016

I've outgrown my Design Wall space with the Tula Pink Blocks.

Here are the latest ones.

We are using some Triangles now.

Tula's Method isn't the normal method for HST's.  

Lots of RE-Cutting for the first few.

I like the 3-D effect of this one, but I might have to re-do it for more contrast.

I'm happy to have a pretty EMPTY calendar this week.

Quilting will happen in the basement if I can just stay home!

I finally Quilted my OMG on Saturday.  

I couldn't wait to POST and Link it up with Heidi.

See it HERE

It's FALL - Ya'll!

Gonna be a Hot one here in the Foothills I hear.

Today I'll go to Lunch with DD#2, to break up the day.

Last week of September my friend from Canada reminds me - How many days until Christmas!!

One more week of Nominations for the Blogger's Quilt Festival.

Did you go HERE and Nominate your Favorites!???

Design Wall Monday- August 29, 2016

Not much change on my Design Wall.  

I added a few of the City Sampler Blocks. 

Thankful I took time to make a few ahead so I could post them.

 

Today is #13

Busy days at the Fairgrounds this week and more to come this week.

This is a block from a quilt that was entered in the Fair.

I hadn't seen it done like this before.

I learned that it could be a Farmer's Daughter variation.

Notice the corner points are made with diamonds like a LeMoyne Star.

I still need to pack up my machine and projects to work on while sitting in my Department.

Wednesday will be here soon and the Names all need to be spelled correctly

 and placed on the entries according to the rules.

Free admittance from 11am-1pm that day!
