Monday Stitching on Betsy

Well, it's Monday again!

This what I played with on Friday

It was Scrap Day at Powered by Fabric!

I started making the 4-Patches in just Purple.

Thought about it and put in some more colors this time.

I had to do some frog-stitching on the two Blocks I had made.

The Solid Squares were not in the right place.

The pattern is called "Plaid 4-Patch"

I'm 1/4 done with the Quilt.

July is here and it's time to turn in my Row By Row Quilt.

I swapped the top and bottom rows so the Picket Fence is on the bottom.

Got it put on "Betsy"

Chose a simple Quilting pattern called "Charms"

See the Butterfly?

Hubby couldn't see it, he says he doesn't see patterns.

All Quilted and ready for the Binding.

Not enough time for getting it all on and tacked down before the Sweets Game.

I can turn it in on Wednesday.

I'll message a picture to the owner and she'll count me finished today.

I did a stitching on a t-shirt to match the Quilt.

I sipped a few of the steps in the pattern.

Puckers happen...

Happy Monday!

Hope you're getting your stitches in, lol

Gotta make a salad for tomorrows BBQ.

Friday Mail Call

Well, I have made the calls to 8 shops and have a couple more that are in transit. 

Today brought 3 more so I have six!

I have to wait until next week to start.

It was much easier to shop by phone and

 pay a little shipping.

The $$ I saved in time and gas is worth waiting.

Waiting to leave for Olivia's Graduation,

 I picked Strawberries. 

I love having them in our flowerbeds. 

we won't get as many this year.

Paul said some of the plants winter killed.

Might be time to re-plant June bearing ones in that flowerbed.

Grandpa is taking another Nap so I am being quiet.

Happy Fri-Yay!

Finally Friday - Row By Row begins

 It's Row by Row Time!
It started June 1st.

Today was the first chance I had to check it out.

Only one shop locally, (within 30-45 minutes) is participating in 2023.

Highland Quilts in Athena, Oregon.

Can you say daytrip...?

Her kit was in Batiks so I bought yardage of her Grunge to make the row.

She asked if I would bring a winning Quilt back to her.

Of Course!

I won there in 2016

Home Sweet Home was the Theme.

I called Kissed Quilts to have her mail me a kit. 

That is allowed this year, HURRAY!

Thanks for kitting your row up in different fabrics.

She collaborated with 3 other shops to make some real cute flowers.

Lilies, Sunflower, Daisy and Bleeding Hearts.

They are paper-pieced but I guess I'll just have to work with it.

I really like those Bleeding Hearts.

Happy Donut Day!

Long story- Short

I'll never get locked out of my house again!

Isn't that a cute Key??
