Design Wall Monday and Mid Month report -June 20, 2016

The mid-week of June was a Blur.
I didn't get all of my Quilt Zone Time in as planned.
So far this month I have gotten some of my June goals completed though.
My OMG is back on the wall, front and center to think about whether I want to make the rest of the blocks to finish the whole design or just border and frame it so it gets DONE.
Big Questions on a Monday.
What would you do???

June Goals
1- Make Guild Lotto/ Charity Block -Done
2- Farm Girl Vintage  - take to Retreat and assemble the quilt.- Packing it up
3- Make Blocks for Family Reunion Quilt - coming up very soon.
4- Quilt Grand Illusion -Done
5- Catch up on 1930's Farmer's Wife - 5 of 21 Blocks Done

 I did get to go and browse the "Love of Junk" on Saturday.
DD#2 and her Mother by Love came and took me with them.
We only had a couple hours and it was threatening Rain again.
The Big Barn was dry so that's where we started.
I felt  a little like Bonnie Hunter searching for quilts.
I first saw a bag with an "Ocean Waves" done in Pink and White
It looked like someone had taken it apart from the backing, the edges were very oddly cut.

I found this cute quilt and had DD hold it up.
Looked cute, but I didn't buy it.
I did buy some Vintage Cartoon Glasses, I got a deal on them. No Picture
This one jumped out at me.
Bobi & Janessa held it up for me to get a better look.
 I got it home and looked closer, 
It is a Big Stitch Quilt in a bag from China. insert frowny face...
Still cute and it will be a fun one for the grandchildren to choose from when they come and stay.
DD #2 took a picture of the other quilt I saw. I don't have it to share.
 It was damp from being in the weather.  
And it was YELLOW. 
Janessa remarked, "Your favorite Color Mom"
Needless to say, it stayed there.

This is Guild Day in Tri-cities, I'll be going to the evening Meeting if it doesn't rain.
I hear the 2017 Raffle Quilt will be unveiled!
Tomorrow starts the Row by Row! 
I will have a helper to take along to pick up the Local Rows.
Cleaning while I have Grandma time this week.
Gotta be ready for Summer company.

I did get to go to the "Love of Junk" that was held this past weekend in Walla Walla.
I went for a quick look see on Friday and didn't find too much that I had to have.

On Saturday, I got my DD#2 to go and look with me.
This Red Chair jumped off the display shelf for $10.
