Monday Sew Day

 It's time to go back to Powered by Fabric

Eddie is so Good to us - Her Quilty Friends.

Today I'm working on my MSQC 4- Patch Picnic Quilt

Click Here for the Tutorial

It's been languishing in a tote since Jenny did the Tutorial 

7 Months ago.

I didn't mean for it to become a UFO.

But it is getting a turn on this UFO day.

I made my own precuts to use up some fabrics in my stash.

This is going to be a fun Quilt!

My Tri-Cities Challenge Quilt is progressing. 

No sneak Peaks today.

Voting happens at the March meeting.

It just needs and wants a Mitered Border, lol

Happy Monday!

WOW- Wednesday

 January 10th brings Memories flooding to my mind.

It's my sweet Mommas Birthday

Born the 2nd daughter of seven children.

She was her daddy's girl.

Her High School Photo

She didn't graduate, she married my daddy instead.

Her we are at our Wedding Reception.

Little did we know how long we would have her.

It was a Beautiful evening for me as a New Bride.

I woke up to This...

It didn't help the days mood.

Thankfully it melted already.

I stayed home.

It gives me flashbacks of Omaha winters. 

4 Years go we were here.

Dinner with my Neice at Kneaders in Heber, Utah

On our way to our Mission in  Omaha, I Nebraska.

It seems like yesterday.

My Indigo Mystery is not too far along.

I had to lay a few blocks out to see how they look.

No more clues to come.

Bonnie is headed to New Zealand with Craft Tours.

I have a few more boxes for Nativities to put away.

The tree is bare except for the garland and Angel.

I counted the nativities as I took them off the tree.

65 Nativities, 16 Stars, 12 Angels, & 3 lambs.

Shelf Nativities count was 30. 

As I am putting things away, I had to count all of my Chuck the Ducks

Missouri Star Flat Chucks.

5 More days until I turn one year older.

I am feeling older already.

How many Naps did I take today?

I'll never tell.

Have a great week!

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.

Monday Deliveries

2 Great sons can now Sleep Under the Stars

The Quilts were delivered after Tri-Cities Quilt Guild Monday.

Pictures on the patio

Front

And the back 

Labels in the corner 

Chuck the Duck watching over the Books in the Book Quilt 

Just a few more to add then the final borders and Bookcase frame.

Looks like I'm a Missouri Star Fan, HUH?

Monday Snow Day - April 3rd

 Mother Natures April Fools Trick is NOT Funny this Morning.

30degrees when it should be Springtime temps.

Tulips in the snow, they are sheltered a bit by the roof overhang here.

Chuck, the Duck says BRRRR

What to do with this extra Block add it to the Brother's Quilt.

I might have enough to make a center row up and down.

But it's a Pattern that goes diagonal...

I got small borders on. 

Tiny hourglass units in the corners from leftover Stitch and Flip hst's.

The Tractors will be on the back in Flannel.
On to the big Brother's quilt with the rest of the 4-patches.

It's  Monday- Stay at home day.

No UFO Day at Eddie's for me.

Had to brave the weather to see the Chiro.

My back was yelling a bit after all the sitting to watch General Conference

It was worth it!

15 new Temples announced.

WOW-Wednesday... What I'm Working On

Since it's my Birthday Month we went to Texas Roadhouse last Thursday.

It was good we did cause Paul has been housebound feeling pain down his leg since then.

My Birthday is on a Sunday so no going out to Celebrate anyway.

I told the Daughters of Utah Pioneer ladies I was Celebrating all month.

I made Chicken Noodle Soup, Jello, Bread and a Ganache covered Chocolate Cake with Ice cream.

What I'm really Working on while turning older by the day...

I used the January DDE (Dealer Digital Exclusive) to do a towel.

Stay Cozy like a Penguin with Mittens.

Perfectly Pieced Boxes are stacking up so I decided it was time to try and make a few of the projects.

The house blocks above are bigger than the Tree, gotta put coping strips on the tree to make something.

Still to be determined.

These envelope blocks are from the January Box

Sealed with a Heart.

Maybe a Pillow?

I worked on the centers I liked for the June Butterfly Cuties 2.

I wasn't happy with it.

So I went back to the original centers intended for this Cutie.

Found a fun inner Border and stripe for the outer border.

I love the Butterflies, that is one reason I got this project CD.

Had to make them in shades of Purple.

I just need to put a backing on it and stitch in the Ditch.

At least that is what my Quilty Friends advised at Guild.

I might still use the Border Clear Blue Tiles on it.

This was a gift in my Jenny Christmas Box..

One day we got a yard of Background fabric

A Rainbow KONA Charm Pack came another Day.

The Pattern came with the Machine and Letters that were Laser cut, so it was super easy.

This is my new Motto for the year!

I've spent over 10 hours doing all of this. We report weekly on our tallied Hours.

I might have 20 hours by the end of the week.

Thining it to WIN IT!

WOW -Wednesday

 I missed posting Monday.

Too tired from the busy-ness of last week.

This week was Daughters of Utah Pioneers and Quilt Guild here in Walla Walla  

I needed/wanted to make a couple Lotto Blocks.

Easy pattern found HERE

I didn't win all of the 18 blocks, Whew!

One less UFO in my Quilt Zone. 

These Pinwheel blocks have been hanging out.

Since February 2019 HERE

I took them on our trip to Utah.

Wendy let me use her machine to sew 4 

together to share at the Reunion. 

I didn't get to really share.  😕 

So here it is, what I was going to share.

Jenny's  Disappearing Pinwheel Baskets HERE. 

I did them in Reds and finished that Quilt.

I love the Pastels.

 Time to make it now so it's ready for Spring. 

The colors make me happy on a gloomy day!

Fall is NOT my favorite season. 

Everything dies!

I will miss my Pretty flowers.

The Begonias and Coleus are doing good!

I have to try and propagate a few to keep 

over the Winter. 

See the tiny roots growing??

I have the House to myself so I can Get Stitching.

Hubby mowed the Lawn. I did it last week. 

Happy Wednesday!

Whatcha making today?

Design Wall Monday - MSQC

I enjoyed doing the Quilting on this Project.

It is a class coming up in October.  

I had to take a picture of it hanging

 off the Loft railing at 

Walla Walla Sew N Vac and Spas.

I have a multi-colored one started.
Linking up HERE 

It will be a very different week of Fair!
I have a Winner in the Blog-O-Versary Giveaway!
Lucky Commenter #6  Shauna from Texas has been contacted.
Her package will be mailed today.

I'm grateful that DH could drive me to Grand Coulee on Saturday..

We drove passed the home I grew up in.

So different from the house, I remember.
The White Picket Fence & Roses are gone.
More about the Roadtrip on Wednesday's Post.

Design Wall Monday - Getting it Done

It has been a Great month so far!

 'Betsy' and I have quilted a few projects.

Since it is so smokey outside and 

DH (dear hubby) needed the car...

I finally got Elizabeth's Quilt Camp 2018  project off, the binding is sewn on. 

I was on a Roll,  the Red Snappers made re- loading and Quilting the side borders, fast.

There was a bit of reverse stitching

 on the Corners. 

(Note to self, take a picture of the quilting)

Next up was this Disappearing Pinwheel Baskets project I started back HERE.

I got these neat clamps from Grace Company. I had to try them out, lol.

Then I  thought that was a fun pattern.

I decided it was good for Lydia's Quilt.

The pattern is 'Alfresco'

Just one more Quilt to get finished for Fair.

Olivia's was loaded on Betsy late Saturday. 

I'm not liking the quilting pattern much, so... I'm reverse  stitching again.

I need to find a better design, with not so much back-tracking.
