2022 Tri-City Quilt Show

 The Tri-cities Quilt Show happened last Friday-Saturday.
It was Sew Fun to have a real Show to enter and attend.

I got Elizabeth and Abby's Quilts Quilted in time to take them in. 

Even with Betsy Troubles.

This is Elizabeth's 5th Grandma Camp Quilt

"Gate of Roses"

This is Abby's First Quilt in a Quilt Show.

I called in "Fenced in Flowers".

I gave out  a "Mutual Admiration" Ribbon to this Quilt

Thanks @quiltville_bonnie for a Star pattern I could enter in this Show. 

Focus on the Stars was the 2020 theme for a Quilt Show that was Canceled. 

This year it was included in the 2022 Show. 

I only saw my Quiltville Quilt at this show. 

Weird to be the only Quiltville fan in my area. 

Thanks for taking my picture with my shirt, quilt buddy, Lynn.

2022 Honorable Mention “An Exercise in Sheer Determination” by Jodi Hassell

For National Quilting Day I went down to Quilt with the Walla Walla Guild ladies.

I made part of these blocks then made the rest at home after going to a Baseball game.

They are the Part one Blocks for Quiltmaker's 40th Jubilee

Mystery quilt made with Addicted to Scraps blocks by Bonnie Hunter.

My Start-i-tus is in full swing.

Gotta add them to the Book.

Blogger's Quilt Festival -Original Design Entry

I debated on what to enter for my 2nd entry this Fall

This "Original Design" kept coming back. 

I have to share.

It was inspired by the "Gum Paper Chains" my Sister used to make from her gum wrappers.

The 2nd version is just all mixed up. I call it "Gum Paper Jumble"

Same number of Blocks and borders.

I designed this quilt for a Spring Break Kids Camp class at the LQS.

When the sign-ups didn't happen I invited my 2 oldest Grand-daughters to come for a 

"Grandma Camp".

Luckily they had the same week off this year.

They shopped my STASH, and selected their colors.

I did most of the longer cuts and let them practice with the short cuts. 

They were new to Rotary Cutters!

Neither of them have sewn much so I had to work on the 1/4" seams with them a lot.

They were SEW happy to complete their 1st Blocks.

Here are their versions of Grandma's pattern.

They are happy that I encouraged them to enter them in the County Fair and Quilt Festival.

The quilts have Ribbons on them from the Festival Committee,

Girls with their Quilts hanging at the 150th Walla Walla Fair & Frontier Days.

Neon Trees got an "Honorable Mention" from our Judge

I am so pleased with how they did.

We'll do "Grandma Camp" again

I'm sure they will be cozy this Winter.

Unless they give them away.
