It's gonna be a Flimsy Fri-Yay

Tis the time to get these two Flimsy centers bordered and ready for the Quilting.

The bookcase Quilt Border auditioning!

"Yep, It looks like a bookcase," DH says!

My Purple Passion

Quiltmaker 40 Year Jubilee Quilt

It needs a bunch of HSTS after I put on a thin border.

My Purple tote is still overflowing!

View from the side

The Yellow Lillies and Purple Petunias make me smile!
 

And this 10" square layer cake just brought me a Christmas Chuck the Duck!

It's Hydrangeas!  Oh My!!

We took a picture with most of the Moses Lake people who will be leaving our Temple Shift.

We are gonna miss them!! 

But we got a new Coordinator and we get to keep our Hermiston ladies.

We'll try again next week to get everyone.

Tomorrow is Kimberbell Day!

A 'REAL' holiday for us!

I hope to spend some time watching and learning how to use Kimberbell stuff better!

There is so many other places to be on Saturday...

Plus a wedding later.

Happy Fri-Yay!

July is almost over. 

Watch for the Blog-o-versary Post next week.

Back to Blogging - Retreat Report

I'm  Back, did you miss me??

 It's been a long week away...

I was at our Walla Walla Quilt Guild Retreat

Last weekend so I chose to have a 

Social Media Fast.

I sewed from early morning to late night.

That made not looking at Facebook and Instagram easier.

I got a LOT of Flimsies ready for Quilting. 

& a few  more blocks for my QAL & SAL's.

I made the 6" & 12" Typewriter blocks. 

Those keys are Tiny squares!!

Most of this week has been spent

 Car Shopping. 

We finally got a  Replacement for my Civic.

It took more time and $$$$ 

We hope this one lasts longer than 2.5 years

2015 - The Year of Many Flimsies and a Few Finishes

It's the time of year for making the accounting for all of my Quilting time.

HERE is my accounting for 2014.

I won't be counting how many New Projects I started in 2105.

I did accomplish a LOT!

I'm happy to share this Collage of my FINISHED Quilts and Gifts

4 of these are my NEW QuiltingrandmaDesigns Patterns!

That was my biggest achievement this year.

I had 13 Finishes in 2015

All of which were Started and Finished in 2015

(I'm not counting all of the 33 Placemats or the Farm Girl Vintage hot pads I made individually)

There would have been at least 3 more Quilted, if Betsy had worked through the end of the year.

When Betsy is FIXED- these quilts will be in the TBQ (To be Quilted) line-up.

Only 13 TBQ (To be Quilted) added to the 8 from last year.

This is why I really shouldn't be starting NEW PROJECTS...

BUT, I just can't resist a Mystery.

Allietare' is almost done. Maybe 2-3 weeks more before the reveal.

Kathy in Canada reminded me about the Merry Mayhem Mystery on New Year's Day.

It's called "Blowing in the Wind"

Parts 1 & 2 are found HERE

I won't be working on it through New Year's Day.

Like Kathy, I have a Family Event that over-rules my Quilting.

The only Block of the Month I plan to make will be Pat Sloan's 

"Secret Garden"  will start on January 2nd.

The first part is posted HERE.
Edited: She posted the 1st Block today!
These are  16" blocks!

I'll be extra Busy on Saturday, January 2nd -stitching on 3 Mysteries/BOM's.
 I need to get my fabrics selected- here I go to raid my Stash.

My Loyal Union Sampler and 1930's Farmer's Wife will be continued through 2016.
Pictured are 26 of the 28 so far.

Happy New Year to all of my Blogging Friends!!

It's been a good year for the most part. 

 I look forward to an even better 2016!

Time to Get it DONE Again & NewFo Report

 The Clocks get turned back an hour this week-end and I'm going to enjoy that extra  hour of sleep!

So that makes 3 quilts- that got sewn together and are ready for the Final Borders.  

I'm not beating myself up about those other 3 quilts that didn't get to FLIMSY. 

I will find a DAY at Thread and Bolts to use the BIG cutting table for squaring the quilts ready for borders.

I had 2 NewFO's
one quilted,  one ready to quilt

"Faithful" and "Purple Pumpkin Seeds"

AND I kept up with my Loyal Union Sampler Block of the Week, too.

TOTAL= 13 Blue and White Blocks- only 108 left to make

Almost all of the 35 LUS- ALOHA blocks Finished- 3 LEFT to make.

My NOVEMBER Goals are:

 1- Borders on Midnight Flight

 2- Make Pieced Sashings for ALOHA LUS
