WOW-Wednesday

I am still coughing, but trying to 

keep my hands busy. 

I ran out of one of the fabrics I need 

to finish the Camo 4-Patch Trip

Lower corner

Working towards the middle.

I need just 7 more 4-Patches!

Now, if I could remember which Quilt 

Shop I got it from on the Shop Hop.

I found Lori Holts Sew Your Stash

Hometown tutorials on YouTube HERE

Each block comes in 5" and 10"

5 " is just a bit too, too tiny.

Here are the First 4 and today's #9 

#10

 The Wool Mat and Mini Oliso help 

   flatten the Seams.

It's a Christmas and Scrap Sew Day

@ Powered by Fabric downtown. 

I hope to send my Corn Bread down with someone.

If not, I'll mask up!

I hate to miss it!

Had to ask my Sister to sub at the Temple for me.

Labor Day 2023 - Monday, Monday

These are the 3 Blocks I had cut out last Friday. 

Not much time to stitch with Football game, Wedding Reception, Parade and Fair.

 

"Peas and Carrots"

6"

"Daddy's Tractor"

Paul says " John Deere Green!"

12"

"Rise and Shine Rooster"

12"

I didn't have enough of the one background so it's a Mix up.

I was up early on this Labor Day to go and pick up my Quilt & Blue ribbons at the fair.

That alarm rings only when I set it these days, No Roosters.

I think I have 3 left to make. Time to lay it out again and see.

This will have to wait for next week. 

That gives me time to make the 3 Blocks.

A Cow, A Scarecrow for row 2, and the Apron or Mixer for the 5th row.

Which would you make?

Apron or Mixer???

Spokane Valley Quilt Show Fun!

After 3 long Years I got to go to Spokane with my WW Quilt Guild on a Bus to the 

2022 SVQS - Extravaganza!

Both of these Quilts were made by Darlene Mossman

Frolic and Good Fortune Mystery by Quiltville

They were the only "Quiltville Sightings" in the Show.

One of the Quilters in the Memorial Room had a Good Fortune in a Picture.

They had 5 Memorials set up in another room to honor those Quilters.

Here are the 2 Farm Girl Vintage Quilts I saw.

Made by Debbie West and Julia Marvel

These two were just Fun!!!

A Pickup Truck full of Bolts and Beach ladies, from the back.

StQuilter's Love Fabric  & "Forever Young"

The makers had a good time making these!

2 Quilts I liked from the Featured Quilter - Cheryl Clossin

"Purple Rain"

"Star on Ice"

I always enjoy seeing the INMQ Treasure Challenge Quilts made from Vintage/Antique Blocks.

Re-Imagined by the Quilters.

I hope you like them too.

"Improved 9-Patch"

Grandmother's Flower Garden

"Sunny April Showers"

I forgot to get a full picture of the Stars one.

"Reaching the Gems"

"Springtime Tulip Baskets"

This one was Called  "For the Love of Baskets"

Can you see that they just added 'Braided Trim' handles to the HST's

"Spring Planting"

Note that these are random Hourglass Blocks with stems

She did Quilt as you go on each Row.

"My Flower Garden"

Inspired by a TQS Show with Mandy Sloane

The Farmer's Wife Quilts are a Favorite!

The SVQS Raffle Quilt was also Farmer's Wife

I love it in Blue. Extra Blocks made into Pillow Covers.

Yes, I Got a few Tickets!

There were so many more that I could have photographed.

The CherryWood "Diana" Challenge was so great with sparkling Tiaras and lovely Quilting.

Pictures just don't do them justice. But I tried...

The 2nd and 5th place Winners were there.

The Winning Quilts aren't all here, just a select few.

I took a Picture of the poster showing the Winners.

I am not putting them all on here.

I met up with one of the 2017 PNW Quiltville Retreat Quilters.

Here we are from 2017 - Still Cheesey!

Wearing our Sewing Jammies.
Susan and I have met up at the Spokane show before...

This time we had Lunch together and walked trough looking at Quilts and the Vendors.

No time to Vote on Favorites.

The Show goes on through Sunday!

Next Year I hope to go 2 days!

 

Can you say Squirrel?

 I have start-i-tus again.

I don't have the Confetti Cottons in my area, so I'm using my Stash. The colors aren't as good but I'm trying to keep the contrast the same.

 

I played thread chicken and Won. My Bobbin ran out before the top thread, lol.

How long will my next spool of Aurifil Last?

I think I'll write the date on it to see.

Next Month the 4th Block will be by Jill Finley.

HERE is a list of all the Designers.

I should be doing a Block count again this year. I've made quite a few just in January.

I have a few more Bird Blocks I want to make.

I've taken inspiration from a friend photos of Birds on Facebook.

I want to make a Parakeet, a Parrot, and a few more Blue Birds.

I ordered and received my Flea Market Book by Lori Holt from Fat Quarter Shop.

I have a lot of Lori Holt fabric in my Stash so this will be a fun way to use some of it up.

We had a fun Linger Longer this week.

I had the idea to do a Muffin bar with fresh fruit, Chocolate Milk and juice.

We made a couple dozen each of Blueberry, Pumpkin Chocolate Chip, Raspberry and Blackberry Jam, Banana, Lemon Poppyseed, Morning Glory and Cranberry-Orange.

Next time I'll make Double Chocolate Chip. 

My plain Chocolate Chip ones didn't turn out so well.

I used my Collection of Baskets to serve them with labels in front. 

I brought most of mine home. I'll freeze a few for later.

Design Wall Monday - Vintage Block Along

While enjoying General Conference 

at home in my jammies...

I cut and sewed a few Blocks for the 

Vintage Block Along with Bee in My Bonnet 

HERE is the link.

I ran out of the letter 'S' to set up a picture of this 6 1/2" block, lol

These 5 1/2" blocks stitched up cute.

Lori has posted these blocks from her Grandma's Sewing Basket for 34 weeks. 

I have 4 weeks sewn, 2 more cut out.

I need more Bee Background fabrics.

 I just felt the need cut out a few more to Stitch.

I love my Ruby Red Olfa cutter, wonder clips Design board and Alphabitties

Linking up HERE

All the General Conference Sessions I watched were great!

I spotted my favorite singer in the Tabernacle Choir, of course.

They were singing the Primary song

"Faith"

Faith is knowing the Sun will rise

Lighting each new day

Faith is knowing the Lord will hear

My prayer, each time I Pray

Faith is like a little seed

If planted, it will grow

Faith is a swelling within my heart

When I do right, I know.

Now it's a Brand New Week to think on the Talks we heard and re-read the notes taken.

Happy Friday! Sweetie Pie Shapes Happening

Sharing this Cute MEME from International Quilt Festival on Facebook.

My Stash is Overflowing and I need to get stitching!

Here are my Pie Shapes all stitched.

Turned and pressed the points.

Counted and ready to sew in to the Pies.

I'm still DEBATING on whether I will go to the Guild Sew-in!
I have so many things I could accomplish if I stayed home.
Trends weather kept me away, it's almost always rainy in Portland, OR.
I'll miss seeing and hearing from Marti Michell tomorrow, oh well...

I'm not Irish but I did eat a Green decorated Cream Puff this am.

It was Yummy!
