Friday fun -Catching up

 I've had a fun week between the stitches...

We went to the Movies for Monday night.

NaDell's 3 oldest met us there.

It was a LDS Movie Club Night.

We saw "The Reluctant Convert" about the Author CS Lewis.

There is always drawings for prizes after. since there were 4 Theaters full,

 the prizes were in the Foyer.

I was a Lucky winner this time of the Great Harvest Bread Basket of goodies.

It came with a coupon for a Free loaf when I go there next. Yummy Stuff.

I WON these Blocks from the Walla Walla Quilt Guild meeting Tuesday night.

Open envelope pattern found HERE

The 2 odd blocks with Neutral are mine.

They were supposed to be Monochromatic, oops

Had to make a Red Bird to go with my Blue Bird.

(Sister Bennett suggested it)

My Cardinal Block

Now I'm thinking of making a red-breasted Robin.

I played with these fun Pixelated Letters after watching Misty on the MSQC video.

I added a Scrappy Border since I was using 2 1/2" strips from a past Shop Hop.

HERE is the Link to that video.

By Making a Letter "T" I could spell Tree.

SEW FUN!

My Quilt Buddy called and asked if I had any of the ALOHA fabrics by Jennifer Chiaverini.

I searched and made a bigger Mess in my Quilt Zone, I knew where they would be,

I just had to find the Project box for my Aloha Quilt.

The color of the fabric does show in this picture. it's a pretty Green.

I had less than a yard but hope it's enough for her to finish her project.

 I don't think I'll need it for mine.

She was so happy that she came over to get it when her Hubby got home.

I had something else for her that I'd picked up in Greenwood, Nebraska.

I saw the collection of Cherished Teddies and had to bring one home for Lynn.

I'm grateful I could give it to her.

He's Patrick and he is praying. She didn't have it and that's a good thing.

These are a few of the other things that came home with me.

The Musical statue was an easy fix when I looked closer at the way it should be.

It plays the tune "Turn Around" as it turns around.

Time to clear out and clean off the Quilt Machine.

I have a few projects ready to finish.

Monday Again

 I haven't done a Design Wall Monday since I returned.

This post won't be one either.

I'm happy to be home and finding more time to Sew.

 I Missed my Quilt Zone while I was gone.

The most Quilty thing I did last year was go to Antique stores and take pictures of Quilts.

It was fun to see all the Quilts displayed at the Antique shop I visited with Sister Bennett.

Here are just a few.  So inspiring.

 Always fun to see Sun Bonnet Sue

Appliqued & Embroidered Ladies.

Two Quilts with Pink!

 Double Wedding Ring and a tricky hand Pieced block, can you identify it??

 Cross-stitch Baskets, probably a Kit Quilt

A display well-loved utility Quilts

 More well-loved Quilts

Hard to get a good picture of this Broken Star

This border was a great addition to the Signature Quilt.

Cute Butterflies and a heart and squares quilt, (Not old)

Quilt behind glass and under glass, fun stitching on the Dresden Plate.

Things that make you go HUH???

Dolls from a forgotten time, but we remember.

Shirley Temple and a Bride Doll, Did you get one?

This one looked like the one my Sister got.

Pick the Doll you want, lol

Not finding the one I always look for.

Pictures from my Childhood

 Statue of Pinky

Re-purposing old Jewelry and a Nut Bowl

I remember cracking nuts at Christmastime.

Sister Bennett took home a Tea set that had the Night before Christmas on it.

I liked this one, it didn't come home with me.

Older Singer 15 with Pretty Decals and a Dusty, New Home Treadle

 Lots of Toy Machines under lock and key.

I did bring a few treasures home.

It was a great trip down Memory Lane for Pat & I.

We ate at the little Deli there. 

Half of a Hot Roast Beef and peppers and Potato soup for me.

This was Pat's plate.

Have you heard of Shoepeg Salad?

Did you see anything that you would have taken home??
