Design Wall Monday - A Birthday too, February 6. 2017

The National Quilts of Valor Sew-in was Cancelled for Saturday.

The Icy roads kept us home from Sam's Baptism, too

What's a Quiltingrandma to do???

Put on your Tiara and SEW!

With each Star Block you can get 4 tiny Hourglass units.

I had to find something "good" about the Snow...

It makes it FUN to take a Quilt Flimsy Picture.

The chevrons all going the same was a bit of a challenge.  

Used more fabric, but I like it!

I also got the Borders on my Farm Girl Vintage.

That marks one more OFF the Goals for February.

I don't know why I put off doing the Borders---

Lots of pinning to get these borders on.

I changed the corner Blocks and substituted the Pie & Fork Block for the Teapot.

Now I need to just decide how to Quilt these two Flimsies and hope "Betsy" is cooperating...

The wrinkles will "quilt out", right? 

It's hard to get it laid out without footprints all around, lol

Linking up in Blogland with Judy L HERE

Birthday's & Celebrations continue...

Today it's our Oldest Grand-daughter's 14th B-day.

Had to find this picture of her in the Dress Great-Grandma Brown made for her mom.

She's been on the Blog a few times.

Remember this one? 2011

Guild Night -Monthly Lotto Blocks etc

Block Lotto was a HIT, I do believe we have a Winner of a Design!

16 blocks turned in and 14 fat Quarters that went to lucky #7 - Brandi.

I forgot to take my FQ so I'll get her one later.

It took two pictures to get all the pretty blocks.

The Sew-in in May will be the time we assemble some blocks into Charity quilts.

It's going to be so fun!

For March we'll be making 

"London Roads"

February is my English Grandmother's Birthday.

This one is in her Memory!

My favorite Hourglass blocks are int he corners. 

I twisted the seams for fun.

I forgot to share my blocks from the Quilts of Valor day. 

It was posted on Facebook and Instagram.

I made 11 of the Disappearing 9-patch Stars and 4 of the the D9P's the wrong way. 

 Jessica said they would work in a border so I put them around the sides.

There were 14 of us sewing for the day.

 I did get my Temecula Blocks made for Parts 1-3

The part 3 blocks didn't come out the size specified.

I'm ready for the next set to make.
