Happy Fri-Yay!

 Well, I had a thought come up while looking at all of the Pictures of my 

Quiltville - Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilts

There is a great Virtual Quilt Show over on the Quiltville Open Studio Facebook Page.

Here are mine...

as much of a Mystery I did.

I was working at Hancock Fabrics back then,

I have done a few of her Leader/Ender Quilts

Bow Ties -2011

The Class Quilt I took with Bonnie at the Block Party was

 Midnight Flight

April 2020

Bonnie offered up this Unity SAL

I have done a few rounds on it.

Much more to do!

It's been 11 Years since I started making Bonnie Hunter's Patterns annually.

It's almost time again for the Mystery Colors and Theme to be announced.

Just a few more days!!!

Am I excited???

The beginning of my 13th Mystery with Bonnie!

I really shouldn't, but those who really follow me already know I have start-i-tus.

Rainy Day Monday

 It was a rainy Day Monday here in the PNW.

So glad I had a cute Umbrella while waiting for my Son-by-love

and Daughter to come to my rescue.

Nothing a Jump start from Jes' Truck and a New Battery at Napa couldn't fix. 

Oh my, the ID-10-T lights on the dash didn't help my heart rate.

I needed a bunch of these Cookies!

Made for YSA on Sunday.

That's what I do with Chocolate Kisses left on my Porch.

I bought this for the back of one of my UFO's.

I forgot which one...

At the Spokane Quilt show, they sold 2019 T-Shirts for $5

One of the Vendors wore this panel as an Apron.

Not sure what I'll do with it.

 Probably put some sewing blocks around for borders.

It can marinate in the stash for a while

I got the NEW Lori Holt Book

Eddie says we will do a SAL in January at Powered By Quilting.

I got the Fat Quarter Bundle of Plaids to use with my Stash.

This SAL just started over at Fat Quarter Shop

HERE's the link

I had to try the 1st Block with scraps.

I'm still thinking of what fat Quarter pack I want to use and what size Blocks.

This Block is 6.5"

Made with scraps laying on my cutting table from Jelly Roll Day.

There's no FOMO going on at my House, lol!

I have resisited a bunch of SAL's

BETSY is Possessed

I tried to un-connect and reconnect Betsy's cables and now she stitches at will 

and beeps and makes lots of noises.

I took a video!

I finally had to just unplug everything and give up - until I can get a tech to come and fix her.

So SAD! :(((

I had to go and get some Chocolate!

I'm entering to WIN an APQS Lucey HERE

Well, that meant I got Steps 1 & 2 done on Lori of Humble Quilts SAL done.

Then I made  the 4- patches into Step 2

I had to use 3 of the Brown fabrics twice.

Ready for the next Clue!

It's almost the end of September and my Block count is growing still.

Especially since I can't quilt. 

Farm Girl Friday blocks are all caught up and there is only 2 weeks left on the SAL.

3 more Blocks on my Snapshots QAL

and I think the Vacation Time BOM ends in October

 so this is a good time to start something NEW!!!

Monday starts the NEW SAL with the 

1930's Farmer's Wife on FB and with Gnome Angel's Blog HERE.

Design Wall Monday-August 12, 2013

I succumbed to the Friday Temptation after getting home from the Ward Campout.

 

 I took many of these HST's, clipped the dog ears and finger pressed them, then I put them into sets of 10.

There are a total of 390 HST's, they measure 1.75" each.

I think the Blue, Purple and Black ones will have to be in other quilts. 

 I do have the "Ocean Waves" on my 'Bucket List'.

My Pam Buda Blocks won't be 6" finished, but I'm glad to be able to use these HST's that otherwise 

were just sitting around in the tote and behind my sewing machine, taking up space.

It's amazing how many ways you can arrange 16 HST's to make a block. 

Thanks Pam Buda for the Temptation of your Sew-along.

I was able to lay out all but 1 of the Blocks so I'm almost caught up with the SAL.

I need to cut some solid squares to lay out  Block 2.

I'll Link up HERE for more Design Wall Monday Posts.

It's FRIDAY- I'm so Ready for the Weekend

I am getting my stuff together for the 3 NEW quilts I'll be starting at the Quiltmaker Block Party in March.  I'm taking classes from Bonnie Hunter, Debbie Caffery and Jo Morton.  I found a bunch of Jo Morton fabrics in my Civil War stash.  They are in the 2nd picture. In the first picture are just part of the strips I need for Bonnie Hunter's class. I need more neutrals and have yet to cut the other two colors I want in this quilt.  She suggests Cheddar and RED, I'm thinking Yellow and Pink.  She uses the Easy Angle and Companion Rulers so they are on top ready to use.  I'm getting so excited to go and meet these 'famous' quilters plus the other Quilters who will be there.  These 3 will also be our Guest speakers.

 Temecula Quilt Co  Judie Rothermel 25th Anniversary SAL final row was posted this morning and the Finishing directions this afternoon. I got the last 5 blocks cut out and sewn. They were simple 9-Patch Blocks. Here are all my blocks.  I get to decide on sashing and borders next.

 I found this BIG box on my porch when I went to check the mail this afternoon.  It's the box to put Grandpa's Flag in.  The bronze Army emblem came ahead of the Box, I'll wait and let Paul open it.  Thanks to our Army Son for ordering it for us. When he comes home to visit he will re-folded the flag for us.

I'm excited for the week-end since the week has been non-stop for me.  I'm still working on the parts for the Block of the Month Alternate Blocks so I can put my quilt together once I finish all the Blocks.  I need to unsew or re-make one of mine already.  The pink I put in one of my Blocks screamed at us on the wall. Lynn's block is shown in the picture.
