WOW - Wednesday

Today I ask my fellow Bloggers to guess what they think my oldest UFO is?? 

Last night I quilted one from 2008

That's a 14 year old UFO.

It's got the binding on and is ready to stitch on our way to the Temple Thursday.

Final reveal picture will beat the quilt Festival, if I enter it.

Do  any of you remember this one that I found in 2016??

Circa 2004

I never did do the Seminole Border.

Should I just quilt it and be done??

I know there are older ones somewhere downstairs.

I can't find my UFO List that I compiled.

So, I guess I'll have to make a new list for 2021-2022 NewFO's, TBQ's and Blocks to be set.

I'm still trying to decide what Quilts to enter in the WallaWalla Quilt Festival.

September 1st is the deadline to enter.

I am cutting it very close.

Blogger's Quilt Festival - #2 "Sailboats & Anchors"

I stitched and stitched all day to get this one ready to post for the Blogger's Quilt Festival.

I was trying to get it done before the Baby and his parents I am making it for left for home.

I finished about an hour after they left :(

Oh well, road trip...

I got this cute Anchor from Intelligent Quilting. 

It was just perfect for this baby boy.

He was born pre-mature and spent 2 months in the hospital in Oregon.

His parents brought him home for his 1st trip to his Grandparents house this week-end.

I think he deserves a cute quilt!

I had to snap a sneak peek pic for my Daughter once I started the quilting.

 The Sailboats were in my Pile of Blocks, waiting to be quilts.

They were on my Design Wall Monday post back in 2013 HERE

This project obviously didn't get made into a quilt for the intended Trends.

Sometimes it is good to have a few blocks just waiting to be a quilt for a special person.

The Block pattern came from the book on the right by Nancy Johnson-Srebro.

And as every quilt that leaves my house- it has the label attached and signed by me.

I'm entering this one in the Small Quilt category HERE

Friday Finishes! Shop Hop Pics

 

Here are my Pictures of the Pam Buda SAL!

I had some fun taking pictures of it outside in my back yard.

As you can tell by the label I finished it September 12, 2014

I waited until I saw it on Pam's Blog.

Pam has been showing her "Airing of the Quilts" HERE

I've been traveling with these Walla Walla Friends Shop Hopping!  

This photo was taken on Day two at our last stop.

Below are some of the Quilts the shops made to show how to use Fat Quaters.

 We were given a different color at each shop.

Urban Log Cabin

Metro Rings

 After visiting all 12 shops our name goes in a drawing for this Machine.

 On our LONG trip around from Halfway to Joseph, we saw two Barn Quilts.

 Walla Walla Sew n Vac had a Quilt Challenge 

Only two of us got our quilts done.

They decided not to have the Shop Hoppers Vote and put our names on them.

We BOTH get a Gift Certificate from the store.

 Can you guess which one is mine?

Hunter's Star

The Sewing Basket has a NEW Building in the back.

Check out the Floors!

It's full of fabric, shelves to the Ceiling! 

The front section is still a Maze with fabric stacked all around on the floor.

Aunty Ida's Bento Box

This is MINE!  
I used the "Block Magic" Books by Nancy Johnson-Srebro.
The car and Maple tree are 6" blocks and the Quilt Shoppe is 15".
It was fun to fussy cut the faces to put inside the car windows.
That fabric is from some of the St Jude line that we had at Hancock's.

I call it

"All Roads Lead to the Shop Hop"

Did you guess right?

Today I Finished my Passport and turned it in at Aunty Ida's in Hermiston, Or

The Fat Quarter's I got from each shop!

I'm not showing the rest of my new Stash Enhancement...
