Saturday Stitching

Today's  #IGQUILTFEST2023 is Quilty Hands.

I had to stitch 3 lengths of this fun Zebra Flannel for the backing of Rhododendron Trail. 

Measure twice, cut once!

My 120 measuring tape broke so I had to buy a new one, not retractable, bummer.

But,  It is Purple!!

Rhododendron Trail Mystery Quilt is ready to be Quilted today. Hurray!!!

Only a year behind...wish me luck with Betsy!

I snapped a part off, but was able to use one off the bottom leader pole,  

I don't use it much. 

Floating is easier now.

I ❤️ how fast I can load a quilt with 

the Red Snappers.

Now to find a pattern to fit right.

Maybe "Breath of the Gods" by Apricot Moon

 I got the binding on the 2022 Riley Blake Block Challenge Quilt! 

The different fabric is more at the top.

I can live with it. 

I wish Pomeroy wasn't an hour away. 

I should have bought more when I was there. 

The borders aren't as big as I planned. 

Quilt Measurements for the Quilt Show

 are incorrect now.

It's big enough to fit my Queen sized bed.

Quilted with Ginger Snap Panto by Apricot Moon.

I might get all my Quilts entered in the Tri-Cities Quilt Show yet!

Need to make Hanging sleeves for 2 of them. 

Road trip stitching week after next.

3 weeks from yesterday is the Show!

Fri-Yay's Flimsy Reveal on Saturday

 Oh how time flies when I'm hurting!

I posted on Instagram, Facebook in two or three groups and forgot to Blog!

I worked hard all day Wednesday and got the Flying Geese border on.

All the Flying geese flying the right direction, while it kept snowing.

I added a 10" piece of Moda Swirls on the top and bottom borders.

Using the extra geese for the sides.

Had to make a few more Flying geese with my favorite Moda Swirls in PINK!

But, looking at this picture, I saw that I needed to turn the long borders around.

That took a while to do, 

Switched them to the Yellow side in.

It was too dark by then to get another Snow Flimsy Picture.

The living room floor had to do.

I got the Blue Quilt measured and ready to Quilt Wednesday between ripping.

Friday was designated to be a Quilting day.

Had to get the official measurement, 4"

DH said we got 2 more on Friday somehow, 

I must have been asleep. 

My Chiropractor was sick so I didn't have an appointment until late afternoon.

He got things back to the right places.

Sleep is so precious. 

I fell asleep watching the WWCC Lady and Men's Basketball games on the Laptop.

They both won the makeup games from Wednesday.

Roads are slick!

It's in the sub Zero Temps and I'm cuddling in my Fuzzy Blanket.

Woke up after a Nightmare of a dream.

Had to leave a Quilt Retreat in a hurry and left all my stuff sitting on the table and bed.

Road construction and no way to turn around and go get it.

Couldn't reach my friend to ask them to bring it home for me.

Way too scary, woke up and stopped that nightmare...

WHEW! My Purple Bernina machine is still where I had it!

Have a good Saturday, stay warm!

I'll be here, stitching away.

Less than a month until the Tri-City Quilters Show!
