"Cascadia" My 2nd NewFO for November

Lori got home in time to post more steps for the QAL HERE.
It's called "Cascadia"
I have used up a bunch of my Leftover Scraps for this QAL.  
I'm so glad I cut them for my Scrap Users System.
Thanks to Bonnie Hunter of Quiltville fame!!!

 Part 3- Sewn together

The top strip in this picture is the "Right" way!
Here is how the corner should look...



 I did a LOT of UNsewing but it is done now and I can rest easy until the next Part.
Do you think this is a possible arrangement?

Thanks Lori for the fun use of my Leftovers!  
It's scrapilicious...

I know I already started a different NewFo! 
That isn't counting the Quiltville  Mystery that is starting on Friday -so there is 3 this month...

My "Sheep Shape" Lamb Quilt Mini!
It still need the lamb's legs and face sewn on, the leaves and ric rac stems also.
Then I can quilt it, trim it and hang it up in my Mini gallery. 

Linking up with Cat Patches for November.
Only one more Link-up this year and then she is retiring the NewFO link-up :(

What's Stitching Wednesday?

I forgot to take pictures of all the things I stitched yesterday.  
Here's my "Sheep Shape" Mini sewn together.


"Cascadia"
Part 1-2
I made them this afternoon and even made an extra and a few have HST's in them again.
The 1.5" pile isn't down much...lol

Last night at Guild I turned in just one Tennessee block
 My President blocks I turned in were with a White Background.  
uh oh---they were supposed to be cream.
Here are my Re-done blocks, just have to sign one.
The idea is from the Katie Pederson class. 
HERE is her website if you want to see her style.

Bonnie Hunter is doing a 5 minute Power Purge  and has encouraged us to join in.
I took a few minutes and re-organized my towel/quilt closet and under my bathroom sink.
I only took a picture of just the Towel shelves in the closet.
I moved some small quilts to the top shelf so the kids can reach the towels better.
This looks much better for company to come.
The grandchildren get to choose their quilts when they come and stay overnight. 
Those quilts will be on the bottom shelves.

Mindless stitching Friday...

I opened my Blog today and saw that Lori over HERE started a new Quilt-Along.
She is calling it "Cascadia".

This is her 10th QAL.
I haven't made them all.  
I'm up for this one while I'm waiting for the Quiltville Mystery.
The 1st part uses a bunch of 1.5" squares.
I just happen to have a few of those cut in my Stash User System Tote.


She tossed a few leftover HST's in the rows so I had to do that too.
Here's 3 sets of the 4 sets I need for the first Part of the QAL.

I see many pieces of Quilts I've made through the years.
Bonnie Hunter might call this digging deep into the stash, I'd say YES!
4 Strips all sewn and pressed DONE for Part 1

I was up extra early again to take DH to work- :( 
I had to do something mindless.  Now I can get my day started for real---

We are on the countdown until we get to go and meet the newest Grandbaby!
Oliver James Crowther was born a week and 2 days ago. 
I haven't showed him on the ol' Blog yet.
(Pics borrowed from Mom's Blog)
This was my first peek at him.  With his proud & Happy Daddy.
He's as cute as his 3 Big Brothers and Sister!
