Design Wall Monday- Labor Day 2013

I feel today like I've had 5 "Labor Days"  at the Walla Walla Fair.  I did get a LOT accomplished though.  It was long and some what HOT days.  I had the Best place to sit and sew!  Right by the BIG Swamp Cooler.  I used muscles that haven't moved like that in a while, too.  

LOTS of walking, I wonder if I have lost any weight or inches??

This Mini quilt was made from the bonus triangles of Katie's Choice quilt. I added the border and got this top finished last week at the Walla Walla Fair. Many left over Half-square triangles make a cute Dolly quilt.

My #2 Jack of Hearts Mystery from my 2013 UFO list finally has the blocks sewn together

This is the layout I thought would happen, I was wrong, but I liked it a decided to make it also.

I'm not sure why I had an extra block from this one left

I took all of my bonus triangles from my "Midnight Flight" and stitched them together, too. 

 On the last couple of days My helper and I got the dog ears trimmed and put in sets of 10. 

 There are 350 Purple and 140 of the Black /Cream HST's.

 I'm still debate whether to use them for a Feathered star or Ocean waves quilt.

I made this Pam Buda Blocks with some HST's that I already had sewn and trimmed.  

I didn't take time to cut the solid Cream squares to make last Friday's Block HERE.

 5- 1/2/" blocks---sew scrappy!

It was a successful week!  the State Fair Judges came and our Pavilion was awarded this pretty Black and white Ribbon for our Displays and Demonstrations.  I'm still thinking of more ways to Demonstrate quilting at the Fair next year... 

Ann and I missed the Big photo at the Bottom of the stairs so we are inset in the corner.

 I'm so glad I decided to sit and sew to while away the hours.

 

Lastly I did my Homework for my Pickledish/Gameboard quilt.  I got a great suggestion for the Name last week.  "Parcheezi"  I like that a lot! I still need to press and trim  them before I sew them together.

                                    

 I had two extra... they can go on the back maybe.

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.
