Happy Fri-Yay - It bears repeating...

Fridays are my Fri-Yays 

Especially when I get to stay home and rest. 

Or stitch like I always want to do.

I stayed up late stitching a few more Blocks from the Vintage Girl 2 Book.

I've had this Lori Holt book for many years.

Since I got to help with the Walla Walla Valley Quilt Guild Raffle Quilt,

I have gotten inspired to make one of my own.

There will be a few more made in Walla Walla.

It will take me awhile so it won't be in the shows this year.

I was a bit burned out from making the Farm Girl Vintage Quilt 2016-2017.

 That Quilt is my most "Ribboned" Quilt ever.

Quilt Show Chair Ribbon in Tri-Cities -March 2017

Best of Show at Walla Walla Fair and Frontier Days - 2017

Stash's Vendor Choice at Walla Walla Quilt Festival in Septmber 2017

This is 2016 when I met Lori at the Quilt Market on Salt Lake City.

I've met her a few times. 

She is a good Friend of my Cousin Renee.

The Christmas in July Quilts are in need of a  good pressing.

Eddie showed us again how to do a flange binding.

Pat Sloan did an extra Border on hers.

Thoughts to ponder as I stitch mine.

Happy Fri-Yay!

 After we got home and changed last night we went to get Plants to fill the Planters.

Top pot is Lillies, then 2 Diplodenias. 

Yellow Pots have Coleus and Petunias.

In the front Flower bed empty space I planted a Hosta to stay!

Petunia and Coleus are annual, so I have to buy them every year.

Coleus, Petunia and a trailing plant I forget the name of.

I found an Over the Rail Planter.

I wanted some Sweet Potato Vine to go over the edge of the porch.

Petunias to fill in and put a little color in the planter.

On the stitching front...

More Dealer Designer Exclusives. (DDE)

Sister Bennett loved this one in the Orem Store. 

I bought the kits so I could make her one.

This one was a Practice.

Making a Drawstring Pouch in the Hoop was a little tricky. 

Thank Heavens for YouTube.

Loved the blue Leather on this Butterfly.
