Wow-Wednesday

Name Dropping Again!

I'm such a fan!

Marie Bostwick came to visit our local Quilt Guild.

Been waiting all year for her visit.

Her new book is a page turner.

Have you read it?

"Esme Cahill Fails Spectacularly "

 I was on the front row. Of course.

I have a few chapters left.

All of my Books are signed, I had to wait until the end.

If you go to her website there is a tab that says 'Goodies',  recipes and free 

Quilt Patterns to download. 

That Caramel cake was rich and delicious!

I spent the day doing what I needed to do.

Not my favorite to do hems and replace Zippers.

Hubby's newest suit needed a zipper.

It required taking out about 5 seams, ug!!

So glad that is done!

I also did some hemming for a friend who's daughter is having a destination 

wedding in Jamaica soon.

6 blouses, 3 lined dresses.

While I had the serger out I fix one of mine.

So the tally was 13 hems that were measured, pinned, cut and serged, then hemmed 

with a straight stitch.

I only had to buy one spool of Pink thread.

Didn't have one to match close enough

 in my Thread Stash, lol.

Today is the Lori Holt Day! 

Time to make those last 3 Blocks.

Got them all cut and then found I had already cut the Colored parts for the Milk Cow. Uh oh!

Changed it up a little with the fussy cutting of the background fabric. 

Can't wait til you see it.

We chose the Borders for the Guild Raffle Quilt before listening to Marie. 

That got me started on my own Farm Girl 

Vintage 2 quilt July 19...

I didn't grow up a Farm girl but I did visit

many farms as a young girl. 

And I married a Farmer!

Tomorrow we set up the Quilt Festival. 

I was asked to show the new ladies how to Pin the leaders between two quilts.

Guess I am the professional at pinning.

Happy to help.

No Temple day this week.

It's the anniversary of the Day we had our first bouncing baby boy 👶. 

 

Happy Wednesday!

WOW-WEDNESDAY

I have to share the Biggest Bloom on my Hydrangea!

Had to double check that it was only one stem.

I finally got back to the Highland Quilt shop in Athena when the boss was there.

She had already hung the Quilt in the window so the picture taking was harder.

My Bounty of Fat Quarters

Purples, Aquas, Grays, Creams and Blacks

The prize for the Row by Row was 15 Fat Quarters

Highland Quilts added the extra 11.

26 fun Fat Quarters to make something pretty

Paired up for a contrast check.

Possible quilt pattern in my head.

Today is Lori Holt Day, so I did some pre-cutting.

I love using the Alphabitties and Wonder Clips.

Flower Blocks for the Raffle Quilt or my Challenge Quilt.
Watch and see...
 

WOW- Wednesday

It was Lori Holt Day at home today.

I thought about going down to Eddie's. 

It was just easier to stay home. 

I've been thinking about how to finish these 

2 Quilts for the 2 Great-Grandsons. 

They are so long overdue.

Ezra turned 2 last month, I didn't make that date. 

Liam has a birthday in June.

I really wanted to put a Lori Holt 

Tractor on their quilts. 

It took most of the day, but here's the baby size.

Oops, do I turn that top corner block?

I hate when I see it after I try to post.

Ezra's will go quickly once I choose the right Alternate Block fabric.

It's been a busy week!

Monday was Daughters of Utah Pioneers Day.

This was my Tulip Choir!

And it was Sibling Day at Roma's. 

I made her the Quilt behind us with Fabric from our Mommas Stash. 

Yesterday, we watched Colby's team play 

Walla Walla's HS team in Walla Walla.

It was fun to visit with Katie.

We were freezing!

The wind never stops!

Even with 2 coats and a Quilt on me!
