It's Fri-Yay!

 I did go down for Scrap Day. 

Eddie was out of town.

The street that we liked to park on is fenced off.

The city is taking that street and making a Park.

The bridge will be taken down and just a 

Pedestrian and Bicycle Bridge will be built

They turned the Parking direction in the 

 Powered by Fabric lot. 

Only one Exit from the Parking lot now.

I was glad that I showed up early! 

There's a big Tree that is being removed.

Sad for that!

And the call it Progress...?

Anyway!

Here are the Blocks I made while there.

I started at the Back of the book this time.

Wreath

Warm Hat

Vintage Pinwheel

After making the fiddly Wreath Block I chose two less tiny parts blocks to make.

I see now that I'm home that I used a different background with these three blocks. oops!

I'm using my scraps from the Christmas in July SAL I did last year with Fat Quarter Shop.

Had to see how many I've made for my Vintage Christmas Quilt.

11 of 35 Total 6.5" blocks to make.

I missed the Christmas Sew Day in April yesterday.

No Christmas in June Day this next month...

More to come between now and Christmas in July!

Next Blocks are either a Gingerbread House or a Vintage Ornament"

Gotta fill in the blank spots and have this one done for Christmas this year, lol.

Monday- after Retreat

Our Walla Walla Valley Quilt Guild had a Retreat

in Lewiston Idaho last week.

I couldn't get there until Thursday night.

It was Shelly's 1st Retreat.

The Lodge was quiet and we Sewed and Sewed!

The Food was good and we ate way too much.

This is the end of my Vacation time after our week in California.

I had cut out a couple of Blocks for the Vintage Christmas to sew up at Retreat.

Using up the leftover Lalyer cake from the FQS Christmas SAL last year.

Christmas Star, City Sidewalks, Glimmer & Cozy Star Blocks.

Bonus HSTs turned into tiny Hourglass units.

HSTs would be way to small.

I was tired of tiny block parts so I got out my RBD Block Challenge book

This is the last Block posted.

"Woven Together"

I will make this one again.

Not enough contrast on the light side.

The One Sister Design Class project got some time at the Retreat on the last day.

She said the blocks reminded her of the old cameras that looked like this.

I finished a few more stars.

Gotta cut more 1 3/4" strips of the Neutrals and 1 1/2" of the colors.

My "Easter Joy" Tulips were blooming for Easter.

No Mission Reunion is planned, so we get to stay home for General Conference.

Today was UFO Day, but I've burned out and needed a rest day.

I think it's Spring Break in Tri-Cities. 

Usually it's Grandma Quilt Camp, but that hasn't been scheduled yet.
 

Monday before Halloween

Tomorrow is Halloween 

It's not my Favorite Holiday but it is a favorite 

Date for the announcement of the Quiltville Mystery theme and colors.

I'm not a kid anymore and my kids are Grown. 

Here are the rest of the Hometown Sew Your Stash blocks in the 10" size. 

Thanks to Lori Holt for giving us the bonus size.

Block 10

Block 8

Block 7

Block 6

Block 5

Whew, I  am finally caught up.

 Have a great Monday. 

My alarm is set to read the Quiltville Blog 

in the morning.

Edited to add:

HERE is a Fun Blog Hop for Halloween!

Thanks to Denise Panter.

WOW-Wednesday

I am still coughing, but trying to 

keep my hands busy. 

I ran out of one of the fabrics I need 

to finish the Camo 4-Patch Trip

Lower corner

Working towards the middle.

I need just 7 more 4-Patches!

Now, if I could remember which Quilt 

Shop I got it from on the Shop Hop.

I found Lori Holts Sew Your Stash

Hometown tutorials on YouTube HERE

Each block comes in 5" and 10"

5 " is just a bit too, too tiny.

Here are the First 4 and today's #9

   flatten the Seams.

It's a Christmas and Scrap Sew Day

@ Powered by Fabric downtown. 

I hope to send my Corn Bread down with someone.

If not, I'll mask up!

I hate to miss it!

Had to ask my Sister to sub at the Temple for me.

Plot twist! Picture over load warning

 I wasn't going to go to the Spokane Quilt show...

I was talking to Mona at our Sewing day and she said she would go with me.

So, we got up early and off we went.

The Theme was "Farm Girl"

There were a LOT of this Pattern in different color ways.

 

I love seeing all of the variations!

There were a few Lori Holt designs

I spotted some Tula Pink too

and an Old Quilt in a Day BOM

"Fun on the Farm"

I have the patterns printed off.

My Good intentions that year went in other Directions.

This is the Kaffe version of the 

"Book Review Quilt"

Jenny Doan Missouri Star Tutorial

What a Blast from the Past was this one.

2003 Block of the Month from Hancock Fabrics

I think I have the Blocks somewhere...

The internet is being weird today, so I'll leave you with these and 

share more on Monday.

Happy Fri-Yay! QUILT FESTIVAL TIME!

I got to help pin Quilts together with sleeves between to go over the Poles.

It works good when the quilts match up.

My Rhododendron Trail 

This one is too tall for this space.

I asked if it could be moved to a taller pole.

I hate how they folded it up, it looks bad!

EDITED TO ADD: This is how it looked today. 

Much better!!

My RBD Blue and White Block Challenge Quilt 

 Book Review Quilt 

Ta Da!

Big Reveal at this Festival.

Wildflower Challenge 

I'll know in the morning if I won any prize.

This it's Reveal here, too.

The Festival is Friday and Saturday!

That means I won't be getting my stitches in this weekend unless it's after the day is over.

I got the Quilt Guild Raffle Quilt back to

Sew the borders on.

It could take a while or go real quick.

Here are the choices...

2" inner border

1.5" flange

4" floral final border.

At the Lori Holt Day I worked on these 3 blocks.

I messed up on the cutting out so had to finish them at home in the afternoon.

Mr. Scarecrow -12"

Milk Cow -12"

Mama's Apron -12"

The last blocks I needed!!!

Hurray, time for the sashing and putting the Quilt together Row by Row!

Wednesday night I stayed up stitching these 6" blocks.

They are from the Vintage Christmas Book by Lori Holt.

I had the Layer cake left over from the Christmas Fat Quarter Shop SAL

Called "Evergreen", it's a MODA line by Sherri and Chelsi.

We'll see how long the Layer Cake lasts to make these blocks.

They are fun.

This Tulip Block is for our Outgoing

Quilt Guild President this year.

She requested Lori Holt Blocks in 6" size.

I hope she likes it.

Labor Day 2023 - Monday, Monday

These are the 3 Blocks I had cut out last Friday. 

Not much time to stitch with Football game, Wedding Reception, Parade and Fair.

 

"Peas and Carrots"

6"

"Daddy's Tractor"

Paul says " John Deere Green!"

12"

"Rise and Shine Rooster"

12"

I didn't have enough of the one background so it's a Mix up.

I was up early on this Labor Day to go and pick up my Quilt & Blue ribbons at the fair.

That alarm rings only when I set it these days, No Roosters.

I think I have 3 left to make. Time to lay it out again and see.

This will have to wait for next week. 

That gives me time to make the 3 Blocks.

A Cow, A Scarecrow for row 2, and the Apron or Mixer for the 5th row.

Which would you make?

Apron or Mixer???

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.
