Grandma Quilt Camp 2022

 We had just 3 days to play in the fabrics.

The oldest Granddaughter has a real Job stitching at the Bridal Shop.
Middle Sister had Homework for her AP classes to do.


The 11 Year Old did pretty good with a few breaks to walk and visit with Grandpa.
Last year I gave her Pre-Cuts this year she used the Rotary Cutter More and 
 used my Go Baby that I won in the 2011 McCall's Design Star Contest.
She cut her Half Square Triangles with it.
Sometimes there is an OOPS Block. 
She wondered why she had one triangle left over.

Her first Block. 4-patches and Half Square Triangles.
You can see there was some "Frogging" that happened to get everything where it belonged.
Fabrics chosen all from Grandma's Stash.
We played in EQ8 to find a block that used both Block parts.
After sewing the strips and cutting the 4 patches she was happy to use the Go Cutter.
Her Reveal will come later.

 Sister made hundreds of tiny 3" Tri-Recs! 
She calls them Triceratops.
Lots of fun fabrics in her quilt that we can't share yet...
She has learned how important it is to Press at each step.
The wings are an OLD fabric from my Stash,
Hope there is just enough for all the Tri-recs.
I give the girls a new type of Block or Block part every year.
I only have the small Tri Rec Die for the Go Baby.
She drew her own design for her Block.
Just wait until you see it.

I did take pictures of their Blocks and they are imported into the EQ8.
Sew Fun to play with my computer program and see what the Quilt will look like.
When the reveals come I can can share the EQ8 Picture and the actual Quilt.

I didn't make new Shirts this year, time was too precious.
We enjoyed a few DVD Movies while the Granddaughters were here.
Johnny Lingo is always a good one and there was a New Video
 "The Legend of Johnny Lingo" between Conference Sessions 
that I watched with just Elizabeth.
Pizza- all home made by the 3 of us. 
Half Hawaiian and half Pepperoni and Olive.
I like to spoil them while I have them here.

We will miss the Oldest Granddaughter, who will be on her Mission later this year.
Next year, we hope their Cousin will be able to come again.

Wednesday- WOW

What am I Working on Wednesday???
(WOW)
 I sewed up all of the Midnight Flight Blocks because I didn't have room to trim my 
Sarah's Choice Stars Swap Quilt to add the borders to it.
Posted the question PINK or BLUE for the inner border to the FB and now I have a different plan to make a pieced border for this quilt.  Bonnie's pattern has 145 of these units and I know I don't want to do those...
They would have a pink on one end and blue on the other.  That is a Lot of cutting sewing and trimming off the Bonus triangles.  I already have a ziplock bag FULL of them from the center of the quilt.
 I used my Marti Michell "A" Templates and sewed up my Block of the Week for my 
B & W Loyal Union Sampler.  Gotta upload it still.


 LASTLY I'm re-testing this pattern and helping my Friend make it in soft pastel colors. 
 I'm taking my GO Baby Cutter over to cut it all out with her this AM. 
The Flower is different using the Round Flower DIE. 
 I don't know how to import the Go Die image into the EQ7, Help!!!???
We picked the colors out at Auntie Ida's when we went to Hermiston for the Haircut and Dye jobs.
So what are you working on???  Anything that you can show?  
Christmas is coming and I know there are a LOT of Secret Projects out there.

UFO Wednesday Link -up

I almost forgot that it was UFO Wednesday. Thanks to Pam in KC, I got a reminder.
I must have been too excited to get my Quilts taken down to Pendleton and writing my Design Wall Monday and Get it DONE posts this week.

It's a good thing when the project doesn't get put into a tote at my house and become a UFO. I have way too many of those.  See THIS POST.  I had a bit of trouble trying to locate them all to put in one photo.  I didn't get this one included in the photo that day. I finally got all the DIES I needed to make the Applique Blocks. Now I decide on the pretty colors. Fabrics shown may or may not be found in the finished quilt 


Today, in keeping with my GOALS from yesterday...I'm getting out my Go BABY fabric cutter and playing with the BABY Girl Quilt for Brant and Tina. It is a COPYCAT of the one Tina fell in Love with from the McCall's Quilt Design Star Contest I was in.  This was the Challenge 2 Quilt made with 9 of the 10 Fat Quarters given to us by McCall's. HERE is a link to the big REVEAL post from 2011. It shows the process of how I made the original. Doesn't it just look like SPRING?!!!!

My quilt for this Grand-daughter will be a proto-type for my Go-Friendly pattern that  I hope to submit to the ACCUQUILT Co using the Go Baby.  Using the BABY Go Cutter that I got from the Sponsors of the McCall's Contest will make it easy for me to get it all cut out. I'm choosing bright colors and using Fusible for the applique. I want to quilt it like Natalia did for me.  It was worth the $$ for me to have it quilted by the daughter of the FIRST WINNER of the McCall's Quilt Design Star Contest. They BLOG together and show a lot of fun projects HERE.
I know I'm a Broken record ---but I really hope to have a NEW quilting arrangement by the time I get ready to quilt these 2 Baby Quilts.  For now, I can only quilt like Natalia in my dreams...
