Wednesday- May for Me!

Part of my "May for ME"

Is spending fun times with my grandsons who live in town.
My 4 year old grandson helped me choose colors and pin this block so I could sew it
 while I watched him on Tuesday.
my 12" Apron Strings Block for the Farm Girl Vintage Friday's Instagram SAL

& Browsing Blog land for the Quiltmaker 100 Blocks Blog tour. HERE

I see some of the New Designers and visit their Blogs on this Blog tour.

It's a fun way to make some "ME" time each morning.

Just look at the Cover!  Which block will you be making next?
I wonder which Block is Bonnie Hunter's.
Could it be one on the cover?
We will have to go to Quiltville.com to find out.

Today I get to go and watch back to back Baseball games!

That's a ME activity too.  This Grandma LOVES Baseball

I remember spending our Saturdays at the baseball park in Pasco.

Pretty soon my hometown Baseball team will start playing.

I have already bought my tickets for Opening Day!

Wednesday Link up- Bonnie Hunter UFO Challenge

It's time to show what I've been doing with my Bonnie Hunter UFO.

 I think this is about Option 3 

I think I like it!

No sashing and it can be finished before the Mystery starts. 

 DH comes home and says it looks like a throw quilt.

I have 3 extra blocks. They can go on the back.

I can use the sashing fabric that is already cut for the border and then add 1 more, yet to be selected

I have had to do something with No car and lots of alone time...

Today DD #2 rescued me so I could go and buy my copies of the 100 Blocks Quiltmaker magazine.

Just in case I don't win any during the Blog Tour.

I picked the block that was Bonnie's It's the one right under the "B".

Linking up over HERE with Jo's Country Junction.

May for ME! I'm a Hopper!!

I am always looking around Blogland for fun things and inspiration.  

Blog Hops and Blog Tours are FUN for me.

I have 'met' many other fellow bloggers online through these Blog Tours and Hops.

I mentioned the Quilt Maker Blog Tour that is going on in my DWM post. 

If you just want to BUY the Magazine you can go HERE.

I have been Hopping since I didn't get the Advance copy like I did when I was a TESTER.

Monday is my favorite Linky day over at Patchworktimes. I get a lot of traffic but not many commenters... 

I think I can speak for many like myself when I say 

I BLOG FOR COMMENTS!!!

 This coming month there is a fun Linky Party HERE too!

Marcia says it's all about taking time for yourself.

It's "Minutes for ME" this year.

I can do that.
I had fun Playing BINGO in 2012.

I might even sent a Timer and when an hour is up, I'll go and Play in the Quilt ZONE!

My Wednesday MAY Posts will be Linked up with the  May for me!"

May 2nd is a GIVEAWAY over there too. 

You won't want to MISS it!!!

I wish I could sit and Blog Hop all day, and some days, I JUST DO!

Those darn UFO'S are still calling to me...

So happy to share-Volume 5 "Tester Blocks"

Here are a few of my "Tester" Blocks...in no particular order.  I follow a few of the Designers and have  read their Blogs. Knowing the names made it even more special to 'test' their Block for volume 5.  I was excited to see the ones in the Magazine that weren't named when I tested them. Today I will show the ones I tested that are on the Blog Tour.  That way I won't spoil the surprise for the designers. The link to their blogs are highlighted.                        

                          Deanne Eisenman- Shooting Star           Melissa Corry- Gear works

                               Konda Lukau- On the Path              Kay Mackenzie- Sitting Pretty
