Friday Sharing--- #Creative Goodness

My last few days have not been my own.
It's good that I played with these blocks earlier in the week.
I cut a bunch of scraps up for making these cute "Idaho Square Dance" Blocks that were in the
May/June Quiltmaker Magazine.
I couldn't help but sew a few together. Before long there were 10 or so in the works.
Scrapalicious!

Being a Wife and Grandma takes time away from my Stitching  

I had a young Grandson/ helper here all day Thursday again.

Playing games, watching Frozen, eating M & M's, Mac & Cheese and walking to pick up his brother after school while his mom worked filled my day.

Designing more quilts continues in my mind and on my scratchpad as I lay down to sleep.
I have a Challenge/Swap to dream up!

Meanwhile the plans for Lori Holt's Instagram SAL starts one week from today.

I brought some of Lori's fabric and the "Alphabitties"

I think I'm ready!

Lori posted a bunch of cute #farmgirlvintage Blocks on Instagram and I pre-ordered the book.
My cousin is one of her fellow Retreaters who got a sneek peek.
The Canning Jar quilt and Lambs are calling to me this Springtime.
The directions are for 6" and 12" blocks, FUN!

I got the Alphabitties for the Fat Quarter Shop Snapshots BOM.
I need to make the Puppy Block.

The Kona Charm Packs in Pink and Purple- Irresistible!!!

Can there EVER be too much PURPLE???

I ordered this pretty fabric and the new Rotary Cutter at Trends.
 The Splash Rotary Cutter features the 'quick change' blade 
& is made for Left or Right hand use.
How about a "GIVEAWAY"????
I bought a couple extras so I can share.

The box from EESchenks came while DH was home. 

His boss says he needs to take 1 day/week off & use some of his Vacation time before years end.

I finished reading this Sandra Dallas Book this week.

It was written last year- from a young Japanese girls' point of view.

Last Saturday I helped sell some of our Quilt Guild Raffle Tickets-
It was Bike race week-end in downtown Walla Walla.
Thanks to Walla Walla Sew and Vac & Spas for hanging the quilt in their window.
They have tickets there to sell if you are in town.

We can only sell them in Washington State, in accordance with State Gambling rules.

Isn't it a Beautiful Quilt?

Made with Contrary Wife and Onery Husband blocks.
I made my 4 blocks last June HERE

It's KING Sized

Top planned & assembled by Marilee from blocks made by guild members.

My neice lives in Heber. After many texts we made arrangements and she picked me up 

so we could have a visit and Lunch on Friday.

I added the Trunk Show by the Crazy Old Ladies - Emily Herrick

Deonn Stott of Quiltscapes showed us how to make the Origami Hexies for the Lamb quilt on the 

May/June Quiltmaker Magazine cover.

She used the purple hexie I chose to demo for Hexigami,  the link shows the steps to make it.

Here are the Ladies behind "Sew Kind of Wonderful" HERE

Jenny Pedigo & Helen Robinson

I got their Quick Curve Ruler after watching the DEMO.

There was a challenge to Instagram a 'selfie'.

I don't have that on my phone but I took a selfie anyway.

Melissa Corry Happy Quilting and I with the sign.

She was there in the OPEN SEW Area with her MIL. 

Lots of stuff to keep my Quilt Passion enjoyable.

Yummy Fresh Pretzels and baggettes before our dinner arrived,

Before leaving I took pictures of the Pond and the Carosel

 All of it was so wonderful and I am going to be on a HIGH for weeks after meeting all the ladies whose blogs I follow or have visited.  I met Amy Ellis Amy's Creative Side  but didn't get to take a pic with her. :(

It was great to have so many of them in the same place where I could meet them and get a few more 

Siggy squares signed for my quilt.
