Monday, Monday

This is what our house looked like after I mowed it last week.

I think it's my first time to Mow it here.

Janessa said I missed a spot, but I can't see it on this picture.

My Sister Moved back into the Barn she lived in after their Mission. 

There are Barn Quilts on the Barn now.

I had to take a Photo.

Prairie Flower, I think??

Lone Star

I cut a few Peonies and Roses to have in the house.

I can't put them too close to DH...

We had a good weekend celebrating Coy's HS Graduation at Zillah.

Look at that rainbow

Janessa drove us. She wanted to go see Coy and to meet Ezra before he has a baby brother.

It was nice until the very end, we took our umbrellas.

Thanks for driving!

We drove out on Saturday for the Graduation Party.

Not much time for stitching.

 I did take a Hand Quilting project but forgot my thimble.

Quilting Time

It's National Quilting Month-

I asked DH [Dear Hubby] to make a Quilt Ladder for me. It fits in the front entryway.

Just 2 - 6 foot boards and 6 Dowels to go in the drilled holes.

I might stain it and put some fabric over the dowels to protect my Quilts.

I'm happy to display a few of my favorite Quilts.

This is still happening in my Living Room.

My Sister, Roma came over to help me put it on the frames and she has come to help Quilt a few days.

     

I love seeing the stitches from underneath.

This weekend is National sew a Jelly Roll Day

This past week was the anniversary of 9-11

We learned about a Crowther who was there and saved fellow workers.

November 2020

 Who knew what November would bring???

 I sure hoped for a better outcome... America deserves better. 

We have completed the planting of the nearly 10,000 Tulips and will have a visit again from Drew, Jake and Elder Frischnecht from Utah this week.

On the Quilty Front- I have Hand Quilted this Cradle quilt

It was made from some of the same 4- Patches that I sewed for  the 50 Shades of Brown SAL.

I am still not a big fan of hand Quilting, but "Betsy" is at home.

I don't have much choice, plus it makes it more primitive and that is how my 

Pioneer Ancestors would have done it.

My Frolic Quilt got Borders added. I didn't make it as a Full-size or on-point.

I even got a picture in the little bit of snow that fell.

This was taken at the Kanesville Tabernacle in Council Bluffs.

It is the size I felt I could handle while here in Nebraska.

But I feel it needs to be a little bigger. Thus I'm asking for HELP!

I bought the Floral fabric last November to use as a Border or for the backing of Frolic.

The receipt was still folded inside.

I used the Fairy Frost as the Inner Border before the Pieced Border.

Should I repeat it or go with one of the other choices shown?

Monday is my next P-Day, but our visitors come that afternoon.

So there's a little time for me to get a few more opinions.  

My sister and Julie H like the Limey green repeated, and one person for the Grunge -the bottom one. Olivia likes the middle print. 

Tuesday next week looks like a SNOW Day so I could finish it then and get it taken in for the "frosting" at a local LQS. This one will be Quilted by Check. Like Eleanor Burns, lol

I thought of sending it home to a friend, but changed my mind on that. 

I'll keep supporting local folks while I'm here.

It saves some extra expense for shipping too.

Friday- Quilt Show Day

Krazy Horse Quilters Show is Today!

I  entered my Good Fortune, and the 

3 Granddaughters quilts. 

I mailed out 2 secret projects,

BEFORE the Deadline! 

My Humble Quilts Doll Quilt Swap.

Such tiny Binding! 

It told me to Hand Quilt it. 

That took a day away from sending it out.

My Spring Quilt Market Quilt is on its way to Minnesota, then to Kansas City. 

I forgot to get a Beauty shot :(

Wishing I had time to go and see it in the Benartex booth.

May calendar is Full up!!!

I have a wedding quilt to make.

I'm missing the Guild Quilt Retreat 

 This was 2015.

I had to at least look at the April UFO. 

49 blocks and 3 half blocks.

 This is using the novelty 1930's fabrics.

Gotta figure out the sashing. 

It goes on Point so it will look very different. 

2 days in April left to sew next week. 

The rest of the weekend will be 

Quilt Show travel related.
