Whoa, where did October GO???

My Goals for the month went awry for good reasons.

October Goals

1- Make Blocks for Guild and BOW. Made the BOM Block but didn't go to Guild

2- Finish the Vacation Time setting blocks- Flimsy- ???

3- Make some more Moth in the Window Blocks- Chose more shirts to incorporate.

4- Sew the #2 Grand Illusion Blocks into a Flimsy - ???

5-work on Christmas, (can't show that but I'm started on it.) YES,

 I want to have some Christmas Gifts to deliver this coming week-end.

My Block Count was only 12 this month.

Mostly Farmer's Wife 1930's blocks.

The good news is "Betsy" is FIXED!

An in home service call was needed and after a couple of hours,

 Betsy is working correctly again.

I tested on some extra yardage I had hanging around, then I put my "Cascadia" on.

I tried pinning it down, not the best way with a small quilt. I couldn't clamp the edges.

I tried out using my new ruler.

Way too many seams to cross made that harder.

 We will see if I take it all out or not. NO PICS!

Here's my Now and Then 

Halloween Picture.

Me in 2015 and way back for my TBT (Throwback Thursday) in 1977

We have a Trunk or Treat every year in the LDS Church Parking Lot.

I'm dressed as a "Quilt Princess".

Crazy I know! 

When I got the licence plate from Moses Lake this year for the Row by Row---

 I had to make good use of it.

A Glow in the dark Crown from JoAnn's and a Polka Dot skirt with blocks pinned on completed

the outfit.  I had to hang my Sew-in time Quilt on the trunk.

It says, "Winter - Spring - Summer - Fall, doesn't matter to me at all

It's Sew-in Time"

DH (Paul) was still working so he didn't get in on it this year.

My Ninja family came by as I ran out of Candy. 

(thanks to Noel for taking our Picture)

The Goodson's went ALL OUT this year. Cowabunga!

1- Finish some Christmas Gifts

2- Make Blocks of the week for Farmer's Wife 1930's

3- Start the new Quiltville Mystery- Day after Thanksgiving
The Fabric Requirements are HERE.  I got my Color Cards!

I played with my Siggy Squares on my Design Wall this AM. 

I think I like it.

I'm late in Posting because I had to run an errand with these nice Sisters today.

We went to Yakima.  

Had to show them where the BEST Hamburger is...

Minors!!!

I could only eat Half and we shared an order of the Yummy Fries.

I got the borders sewn on FINALLY!

  This flimsy is ready now for the quilting!

I put this one #1 on my Goals for this month.

My Decorations for the Trunk or Treak

The rain let up just long enough for us to enjoy a bit of fun with the kids in costumes!

Glow in the Dark stars on a black piece of knit fabric clipped to the Trunk.

My 2 Grandsons pose with us for a Picture.

One is a Camo/Bow hunter, the younger one is a  Firefighter

Paul got off work in time to come to hand out the candy.  

He's a "Candy Eater" (aka: NO costume)

I wore a bandand with my engineer hat and Sheriff's badge.  

If I'd worn a quilt for a cape I could have been the Quilt Police, LOL

I'm holding a Skeleton head that lights up with changing colors.

It was a gift from Grandson in Kennewick.  Thanks To him!

I had put these Word Play letters re-arranged on a design board to take to the Trunk or Treak.

Opps... I left the board on the back porch.

SHAMELESS PLUG TIME...

Design Wall Monday- November 4,2013

There is so much going on at my house that I can NOT show on the BLOG...

I am excited to be ahead on the planning of my Family Christmas Gifts. 

NOW to just work on them steadily until December and get them all done.  

I didn't link up to the Jo and Nell's Challenge on Saturday. I can add my Link HERE today.

 I haven't worked much on my "Midnight Flight" quilt.  I am having different visions of the borders to go on this quilt.  I keep thinking that this Ziplock Bag of Bonus Triangle Squares NEEDS to be used.

The choosing HOW??? is the hard part. Please help me decide.
Should I sew them into
A-Pinwheels
B- Ribbons
C- Flying geese
D- Sawtooth  strips

I worked on my Block of the Week for Guild next week, and sewed the binding on my Faithful Quilt.

It's ready to stitch down on a road trip.

It's been a week of keeping secrets, saying goodbye to some good  friends and now that the NEW Bishop has been called and sustained, I can breathe a BIG sigh of relief.  

6+ years of his Faithful Service to the members of our Ward is over.

Paul and I wore our Walla Walla SWEETS t-Shirts for our costumes for Halloween.
