Design Wall Monday- May 4, 2015

Since it's a "MAY For Me" day today,
Click this picture on my Sidebar to see what others are doing in May.
May 2015 for ME
 I am Showing my Farm Girl Friday blocks.
The schedule for the FarmGirlFriday SAL is HERE
I am sad that she is going in order and the Wooly Lamb is the last Block...
I might have to make a few as I go along, huh??
Then I could have a whole "Wooly Lamb" Quilt done by the end.

I made just one 6" 'Apron Strings' Block

I don't need to make another 30's fabrics- Large Quilt with all the blocks.
But I might make some of the blocks in the 12" size, just for variety.

I was gone most of Friday to our Daughters of Utah Pioneers Convention in LaGrande.
I posted about that HERE
If you want to read more about Joining the Daughters of Utah Pioneers go HERE.

Saturday was the Krazy Horse Quilt Show.
I took a bunch of pictures. When I find out who won the Peoples choice I'll post them.
Jes Berry from Walla Walla Won the People's choice.
I don't even try to compete with Original design, Hand applique and Hand quilting.


I entered my Through the Hourglass and Midnight Flight.

They were hung side by side at the show.

This year they had a Scrappy Challenge to use 50 or more fabrics in a quilt.
I didn't get registered in time or make a scrappy quilt in  the size required so it was fun to
just go look and choose a favorite.
This is the !st Place winning quilt.  It's the one I chose.
Hand appliqued and hand quilted by Rene Devin of Wallowa.
The rest of the winning quilts are found on their Facebook page HERE

These fun Ladies were sharing the Challenge for NEXT YEAR-
"Not your Grandmother's Log Cabin"


I got to watch some Demos and enjoyed Volunteering at the front near the end of the day.

I took a Lunchtime break and went to see the Art Exhibit in Downtown.
Very interesting the things that are considered "Art"
Thanks for the heads up Colleen.

One of the highlights of the day was meeting Robin Ruth and seeing her Mariner's Compass quilts made without Paper-Piecing. I had seen the ruler on Cindy J's Blog HERE.
 I was looking forward to meeting her.
 She grew up in Ritzville and brought her Mom along with her to help bind her quilts to get ready for Quilt Market in Minnesota latter this Spring.
Her mom kindly took my picture with Robin.

I came home and took a NAP then had to get some stitching in before the clock struck Midnight.
I made the "Puppy Love" Block shown at the bottom of the picture.
In memory of the Puppy named 'Curly', from my childhood.
I used my "Alphabitties" A-W to make it.  Lots of cutting of the parts .
The little ABC's and Numbers are a big help!

Had to Count my Blocks made in past the Month after reading Desert Sky Quilting HERE.
So just for her- I made 74 blocks last month.
1 Loyal Union Sampler Block
22 Downton Abbey Mystery Blocks
31 Strippy Stars Blocks
8 CW  Dresden Fans
11 Idaho Square Dance Blocks
1 Vacation time Block

I have a question...
Do you count the blocks made for a BORDER or just ones intended for a Quilt center??
If so, I can count the border blocks I made for the Symposium.
