Finally February -Bye January

January was a good month.  

I kinda celebrated my B-day all month.

Lots of Family Events, Priesthood Ordinations,  Baptism, Airplane ride, 

Food Poisoning,  lost voice, Temple service, 

Meetings,  new friends, Lunch dates.

The list could go on and on...

My #7 UFO  barely made an appearance.
Edited to add: February UFO is #10
"Moth in the Window"

On Instagram,  lol.

I  hope to do better in February. 

The "Good Fortune" Mystery was talking louder to NOT go into the UFO pile. 

I'll save that Final picture for the 

Quiltville Link-up on Monday. 

On the final day of the month, 

I got to sew on my favorite Purple Bernina. 

Fresh from the 'Spa' week. 

It takes longer when the main Belt is bad.

It had be replaced along with a spring on the Bobbin winder.

I made some Trees!

I  decided that the EQ8 pattern looked like 

PEAKY and SPIKE!

So that is what I chose to use.

NO Paper Piecing if I can help it!

This Block is the Center for
QUILTER'S PLANNER Sew-Along on IG.

I mistakenly made a Block from the Planner, thinking it was the right one
for the SAL.

This block will go somewhere in the quilt.

Design Wall Monday -after Retreat May 22, 2017

At my Bonnie Hunter Retreat I learned that Judy L was not going to continue the DWM link-ups.

BIG THANKS to Judy H for stepping in to give us a place to Link-up.

WELL, I have 2 new Projects in the works that I can share.

It was SEW fun to have Bonnie come to the PNW!  

We have been waiting 4 years.
Here's our Cabin and Us with Bonnie.

The first Workshop day was Midnight Flight.

I had said I wouldn't be making it again...

Well, Thanks to my ever encouraging table mate, Carol -
who was making a Second Midnight Flight.

We met Bonnie in 2013 at the Quiltmaker Block Party.

Here are my 4 New Midnight Flight Blocks made at Retreat.

Do they remind you of anything?
I think some of my family will really like this one.

Second Day workshop Garden Party Blocks.

I had to lay them out here at home.
25 Posy Blocks + 5 that need some Unstitching, 17 uneven 9-Patch blocks.

Did you miss my Monday Posting last week?

I was in a tizzy getting packed up and getting out the door in time for my Tri-City Guild Mtg.

I packed the car and crossed my fingers I wasn't forgetting something important.

I had made the decision to stay somewhere Monday night and be 2 hours closer to the Retreat.

Thanks to my Dear #1 Daughter-by- Love for her Yummy Macaroni and Cheese 

and a place to lay down my weary head.

I delivered early Birthday gifts to these 2 cuties.

At Tri-City Guild I shared my En Provence' and the little Swap Quilt I got from Tennessee.

The it was time for errands and to pick up a Towel at Costco.  

I realized halfway to Tri-cities that that I forgot to pack one.

There will be MUCH. MUCH More to share from Retreat pictures.

I was able to read a little of what Bonnie was posting, I cried, she said such sweet things.

Her Posts are HERE  & HERE  & the 2 part Show n Share Day is HERE

And Judy D posted some Pictures HERE

My SPRINT phone wasn't good for connecting in the woods.

Thanks for all your kind comments on my Blogposts while I was gone.

Here's my Shout out to my Tiara Time Buddy, Brandi, with Bonnie and my En Provence.

I had to wear my EnProvence shirt and Tiara, lol

Happy Monday!

 I'm glad I don't have a calendar FULL this coming week, so I can rest up.
