New Finishes for 2022 Walla Walla Quilt Festival

It's Quilt Festival Time!!!

I'm excited to go and sit with Quilty Friends welcoming Quilters to the Festival

It's been 3 years since the Festival was held. 

It got cancelled last year again.

 I went to Utah for "Garden of Quilts" instead. 

I am missing some fun in Utah this weekend for sure.

I know Deonn is there!

I caught this picture with her as she was leaving the parking lot.

Jenny Doan with her Girls, Melissa Corry, Cindy Cloward, Kris and all the Girlfriends,

and many others.

My Friend Wendy is at Sylvia's in sunny California this weekend. 

These are the Quilts that were quilted and 

entered in the Walla Walla Valley Quilt Festival.

Happy Quilting Blog 

I started this in 2019 before we left for Nebraska.

So only 3 years a UFO at home.

"Crayons"

Blocks won from Walla Walla Valley Quilt Guild 

It's a UFO from 2008

When I first started Blogging.

14 years!

Tomorrow is National Sew and Jelly Roll Day

It's National Sewing Month

In 2018 I got this Jelly roll from Walla Walla Sew Vac & Spas for a Contest.

I used a few select colors for this Quilt.

I love all the Polka dots.

I think I have another idea of something to sew this year with the rest of it.

It is sew fun to finally Quilt.

My Quilty Time since I got home has been less than I want.

We're so glad we went when we did. 

Next weekend we get to see our 

Mormon Trail Center Senior Missionaries 

Who served with us through that crazy year 2020

and Covid closing everything down.

Monday - Older Flimsy - Ready to Quilt

 This posting is kind of a Throw back Post.

Going through to find all those TBQ (To be Quilted)

I came across this one.

I met Tula Pink in July 2012

In 2016 I started her City Sampler

100 Blocks in 100 Days

I had the blocks all done in the 100 days, sewing ahead for when I wasn't at home.

Posting on Instagram for each day.

This Flimsy picture was taken in 2017

In 2019

A 3rd Border was added and it has been waiting to be Quilted.

I looked for the backing I thought I had.

When I find it it will go on "Betsy".

It's not my Oldest UFO, but I need a new quilt to put on the Bed upstairs.

My Local Quilt stores are closed for Labor Day!

But first... The final Quilt I need to turn in this coming weekend is ready.

It has relaxed all weekend on "Betsy" and since I have the house to myself and DUP was Postponed...

It's a ME Day in the basement.

Happy National Sewing Month

September as National Sewing Month is the recognition of a creative form 

of self-expression that we celebrate in September, but enjoy all year.
