WOW- Wednesday

 Kim Diehl is hosting a Mystery SAL HERE

I'm inspired but want to use a different book.

one of my followers.

I've been Blogging a bit sporadically of late. 

Sorry about that.

But 15 years is something to Celebrate!

WOW-WEDNESDAY -in no particular order...

My Quilter's ADD is in high gear!

Lots of Projects on my mind & 

Design  Floor & Blog.

Yesterday's playtime in the Basement. 

The Quilting Design was chosen.

It's almost to the bottom.

Time to turn it, to quilt the side Borders.

I'm using a Verigated Aurifil Thread.

Walla Walla Sew N Vac and Spas had the 

Teacher's Meeting. 

This quilt is from one of Jenny Doan's 

Missouri Star Quilt Company Tutorials.

"Disappearing Pinwheel Baskets"

I  was channeling Eddie Walker, huh?

I was a little short on fabric for the Borders.

Do I un-sew and use another fabric or find an alternative piece??

I didn't see it at the store last night.

This will make a fun 

Throw size or Table Topper. 

Classes coming soon (September)

I'm really excited about this one.

I saw this at 

Spring Quilt Market. 

Let's play a game, bring a stack of 

2-1/2" squares, Charms, or Jelly Roll strips. 

I made mine with Fat Quarters I Won with my Row by Row.

I wanna make one with different colors.

SCRAPPY, Team colors, Holidays, 

anything goes. 

Watch your Social media and check your email from wwsnvandspas.com

Last but not least, I  found the missing

2 Splendid Sampler 2 Blocks. 

Tomorrow block 9 will be posted.

I know, my Block 7 isn't done :(

Today is my BLOG-O-VERSARY!
Giveaway Post coming Friday.

Going Back in Time... & Guild Lotto

It's Blog-O-Versary time!!!

My 1st posting was on August 13, 2008 HERE

That's TOMORROW!

A LOT of typing and picture posting has happened in all that time.
1349 posted Blogs in 7 years.

I would like to have a GIVE-Away to celebrate!

I picked up an extra Pin from the Row By Row.

 I have a few other surprises to share.
Maybe an Original Quiltin'grandma Designs pattern of your choice.

Anybody game?

Just tell me
1- How long have you been Blogging.
2- What your favorite part of Blogging is.

3- How you came to find my Blog
(you can include it all in one comment.)

For me it's the connections I make with Blogging friends.  

I have met a few of them in person. Super FUN!

Doing similar projects ie: Quiltville Mysteries, QAL's, SAL's

 Design Wall Monday with Judy L and Creative Goodness with QuiltShop Gal.
Thanks for reading and especially for all your kind comments!
Edited:  GIVEAWAY ENDS August 20th
This Giveaway is CLOSED!
Tuesday night was My Monthly Guild night.

I got my #2 Lotto Block made while watching 2 grandsons.
This one is a bit different than it'is supposed to be.
I will keep this one and turn in the other one.

There were 9 Blocks turned in and 2 that were brought last month. 

 I left them in the bag I took to Guild in July.

Congrats to Darlene D who won the Blocks.

Our Guild President and Vice President with Ice Cream cake to
CELEBRATE our reaching 100 Members!
They even put our LOGO on the top.
Yummy stuff!

The Theme for the Walla Walla Valley Quilt Festival next month is "Outside my Window"
Making a quilt for the Challenge is on my mind this week.
I found a fun Block on the Quilter's Cache HERE
I have made these before with a more narrow window... we shall see how I like them bigger with the fussy cut square smaller.

Balloons outside my Window with Green and cream or

Patriotic flags waving with a Wood grain print and tan

Here is the Demo Board.

TIP this month-- make sure when you cut the Miters you have all the fabric face-up!
Turn the template over to cut the Brown.
The rest is easy stitching to the Dot at 1/4"
I'm thinking a quilt made with a bunch of these blocks would be fun.
The Constant fabric is the Brown Woodgrain
I am requesting that they make the four parts and not sew them together.

I Missed my BLOG-O-Versary!

It was back in August on the 13th. August was SOOO Busy - it just slipped by.  I've been wanting to have a giveaway but life just doesn't slow down.  Looking back HERE,   

I see that I was even more busy then, just fewer Grandchildren. 

The year was 2008!  

That means I've been BLOGGING 5 years!!! How do I remember it?

I had taken my first trip to SISTER'S OUTDOOR QUILT SHOW just the month before.

I met Judy D and Sonja W there.

I celebrated Birthdays with these Gals...

All of these friends are now gone from Walla Walla or are soon leaving me. :(

My Quilt Buddy and I went on our first FULL Shop Hop!

(we didn't notice the bottles behind up for this pic.)

I saw a Childhood Friend in Ritzville too.

Debby Miller Boggs and I at the Quilt/Liquor store.

 I went to see my Utah Friend and showed her the Disappearing 9-Patch.

We saw the painted ponies in Ogden.

 My Utah Friend came to see me and we went to the Columbia River Temple with our Husbands.

I made these fun Christmas Quilts for the families (with a LOT of Help from my Quilt Buddy)

Here they are goofing off with them.

Jeff was in Cuba, in the Army.

This is how many Grandchildren I had then (minus Benjamin), 

those babies are now in Kindergarten and 1st grade.

My Daughter, her two daughters and my Sister came with me to see the
Mid-Columbia Ballet Performance of the Nutcracker.
A fun Holiday Tradition in the Ransom Family.
This year these two Grand-daughters are in it again.

 Here we are at Christmastime!  

Looks like that was the year I made the Football Jerseys too.

WHEW!!! time sure flies!

I have a copy of  "THE GIVING QUILT" Book by Jennifer to GIVE-AWAY.

It's from 2012 but very timely for this up-coming Holiday season.

I even have the PIN to go with it.

Leave a Comment and tell me how you will spend your BLACK FRIDAY this year.

I'll choose a winner on October 23rd.  USA residents only, Sorry.
