Word Play Quilt

 This is what I had done when I went to the last class on Tuesday evening.  In the picture here I see two BOO-BOOS!  Why didn't I notice it before I took the picture?? See the bright off white patch in the LOG Cabin Block? And the center block of the 'O' in the word "TO" in the 3rd row?  The fabric was sewn on the wrong side.  I used a Paper-pieced Block Lynn made, a Scrappy Heart and a Log Cabin Block -just to prove I could make one...I still can't make one without "frogging", as you can clearly see. The picture with me in it, you might notice I'm wearing the shirt that Inspired the Quilt. This is below my Signature on most of my E-mails, too.     This Quilt when finished- will hang in my "Quilt Zone"!

The last photo shows the final, fixed top, ready to be quilted. The outer border is the RED HAT fabric I found last month at Quiltmania in Richland in their sale hallway.  Eddie suggests we all put them in the Walla Walla Valley Quilt Festival that is coming up. We shall see how many get finished by September 10th.  It was fun to go take a class again from Eddie and sew on the assorted Bernina's at the "STASH" Quilt Shop.

I was really good this week, too bad I don't know how to count the yardage of scraps I've sewn into "bowties" for Bonnie Hunter's Leader/ Ender Challenge. I worked on my Word Play quilt and I can count my McCall's Quilt Design Star yardage used because the quilt top is Submitted now! Voting starts on Wednesday night at 10 PM MDT. My DH has given his "attagirl" to the quilt already.  He says he is amazed at what I can do.
I'm anxious to show everyone my newest design!  Come back late Wednesday or Thursday and click the McCall's link to see it and VOTE!

Friday Stitching

WHEW!!! It's DONE!  I can take a deep breath now, right?  Only 5 Days until the Voting frenzy starts.  Are you READY to VOTE?? Every day, once a day from every device to keep me in the Contest.  THANKS!


Now that the Challenge is done I wanted to do some Fun stitching.  I haven't been doing the Block Lotto in a few Months ---so that was on the agenda. 

I finished the last word for the Word Play Quilt while sewing at Lynn's on Wednesday. I had to un-sew the little weird part off the "H" and put solid on there.  Thank heavens for the Camera "eye" to show me mistakes. Now to make some more blocks to intersperse between the words.  I changed my mind about using the "Therapy in Session" panel.  That will have to go with some other 'orphan' blocks I have laying around.

 Also some more Leader/Ender Bowties. I'll save those to show on DESIGN WALL MONDAY! 
Have a FUN Friday!  I hope to sew a few Civil War blocks to get caught up on those next week.

Design Wall Monday, August 8, 2011

Whoo, Hoo, only 9 days until the BIG reveal!!!  Besides the Challenge #2 that is on my Design wall, I have on my other Wall the words I've made- taking the WORD PLAY Class making a quilt I want to hang in my Quilt Zone!  Here they are ...Just the last word "DUH" to make this week.

The "Q" was the hardest letter to make!  We have a Week off of Class which is nice because this is always my BUSY week of the month .  Made even busier with my Deadline to submit the Challenge #2.
