I Voted & What to Quilt this Week

 The Ballots came for the Primaries.
Lots of choices for Governor. 
We definitely need a New one!!

1st Cucumber is almost ready to pick.

Gladiolus bloom, too early for the Fair!!

We had a get together lunch with family!
The Crowther original 5

Crowther, Isrealson & Neeley Cousins.
So glad the Isrealson Sisters were passing by.

Lisa was in town, Her big Sister says,
"Take our picture!"
Gladly!!

We will have to plan a Paul Crowther family 
get-together! 

My quandary this week...
What to Quilt?
I have Sew many in the TBQ tote.
Dare I put my Purple Monster-sized
Purple Jubilee on my Q 20?
I think I will have to do some "frogging"
on it first.

I wore my Pioneer dress yesterday.
A Picnic on Wednesday evening is in the works for our Daughters of Utah Pioneers Camp/Company.  
Should have curled my hair, oh well.
It was Naptime. 
I attended 2 Sacrament meetings plus 
Linger Longer at YSA. 

Happy Monday!

WOW-WEDNESDAY

 The Q-matic is giving me grayer hair, lol.
Bernina Q20 is a whole new system for me to learn.
YouTube and reading and re-reading the manual. 
It took a couple phone calls to Janean.
My phone doesn't work so great in the Basement. 

The Charity Quilt from the Sew-in is done.
But not without some frogging.
Just needs a binding.  
The spacing is an issue,  like on the Betsy.
Q20 doesn't have a name.
Made in Switzerland so I could name her 
something from that country.
What do I try next? 

Whatcha Working On?

Monday Stitching

 It's ready to use-ALMOST!!
I'm a little afraid to try it!
I have a Q-matic Design Lesson scheduled 
for Wednesday. 

I am 4 BINGO blocks ready for Tri-Cities
Quilt Guild. 

I need to bind a Charity Quilt. 
This might be one of the last Charity Quilts
made with this Green fabric. 

I hope to get a chance to get the 
Art N Stitch registered. 
The copy In my Box expired before 
I got it delivered.

Happy 4th of July

We went to the Sweets Baseball game last night.
There was Fireworks after the game.
Not Victory Fireworks, sadly they lost.
              We had 14 YSA sitting in front of us.
           It was Not planned.

My view from Section C up high!

My USA Flags are flying!

The corner behind the Door.
Celebrating USA

We love Celebrating in July.
Our Jeffery was born July 6th.
He thought the Fireworks were for him.

I missed posting Monday and Wednesday. 
Getting ready for the 4th of July Parade. 


I stitched  Pioneer Bonnets for them to wear.
Their Daughters of Utah Pioneers camp marched.

Baby Miriam 

Cousins making a Patriotic cookie for a 
Sunday treat.

Tina sent me this picture.
Love that they love our Pioneers!!

Wow-Wednesday

 We had another Unexpected upgrade...
New vanity in the Upstairs Bathroom. 
We had a Happy Surprize. 
We looked at the vanity sizes at the Home Depot.
The door opens the other way.
Oh well, we're not moving the hinges.
A smaller one meant knees won't hit the vanity.
Paul said we'll just use the old sink. 
Surprise!! The Right sized sink was inside the Heavy Box.

A slow leak took the Pressed wood out.
Look what the Tile was before it got painted over.

Fun Bundle arrived.
Fat Quarters on sale, I didn't resist.
 And a 'Jenny' Apron!
Cute little flat Chuck!

This was my view yesterday.

The new Big Head of my Q 20 is on the carriage.
No power yet.
They put the monitor on too.
It's hard to get a good picture.
I have to find a day for the guys to come back and finish the install.
Dewey is a busy guy.
They just got back from Bernina University
 in Detroit.

No quilting. No problem I have the Embroidery Machine ready to stitch my 4th of July projects.
That's next week!!
Hubby is taking the cardboard to the Recycling. 
Happy Wednesday!

Monday, Monday

 I Have been kinda grumpy.
So sorry! 
Waiting for deliveries wasn't fun.

I really needed a Sew day with my Quilty Friends.
Saturday was a Charity Sew-in. 
I was up early since DH was taking a Day trip to help transport some Hiking girls.

The guild ladies made up a bunch of kits.
There was a diagram of how the squares
 were to be sewn.
I came out even, no extra squares.
Top two rows are under the needle.

Center done.
Measure twice for borders.


Ta da!
This was a fun diversion.

There were giveaways.
I didn't win this time.
The group decided Eddie needed the last prize. 
Surprize!



And the Blueberries are plentiful! 

Tomorrow is the big day for setting up
The Bernina Q 20.
Right now it's in the Garage. 
7 boxes on a pallet.

I'm up early again!
 A nap is coming later...

Wow-Wednesday


 While waiting for the call to receive my 
Shipment from Chicago.
I stitched!! Isn't this cute??
I may not add the twinkle lights. 
I can make more.
They are from my Hoop Studio subscription. 
I have skipped the next one so I can catch up.
I might regret it, just saying.

I'm still waiting...
How many boxes will it come in?
Janean said about 4 or 5.
Pictures later.
Getting way excited!

FRI-YAY Turned to Fri-Nay


I missed the call I was waiting for...
I was gone all day in Tri-Cities. 
Returned the call too late to get the 
shipment out today.
Sad face 😞 

Last night I put my new Bookcase together.
I filled it up to capacity!
DH says that I have A-LOT of books.
DUH, I have been quilting a long time.

In the process, I found duplicates.
What do I do about that?
I  will save one or two for my Blog-o-Versary.
Maybe donate some to my Quilt guilds.

I almost cleared the space for the 
Bernina Q 20.
It's a Miracle, Truly!

I'm getting on Dewey's calendar.
The waiting is hard...

I'm getting back to Stitching!
But 1st I had to get this shelf dusted and rearranged.
This window is now above my Sewing area in 
That corner we just fixed.

I haven't got to stitch on my purple Bernina
 since I took it for a Spa Day.
I put my Quilted "ME" on the Wall.
I had it made back in 2011
The lady I paid to make it has passed
 away since then 😞.
Here's mine with Lynn, my Quilt Buddy.
I had one made for her, too. 
It was a Happy day when I finally got to share it.

It took awhile but the Embroidery Machine is now in the basement. 
Found a space big enough to put the machine 
and a few of the things that help me make the
 fun Kimberbell stuff.

It's time for What's new Wednesday.  
Be back on Friday with surprises I make this week.

Missed Monday last week...

 I missed a Monday!
I stitched this on Tuesday.
Gave it to My Daughter-by Love  Kori.

The roses were affected by the wind. 
So I cut a Bouquet. 

Thursday Morning we met at IHOP in Pasco with the Butlers.

We were happy to find a time that worked for them.  They were kept busy Laying sod an helping Carol get ready for the Graduation party.

We found a mess in the corner of the basement by the Laundry room. 
That meant losing my Thread case and a Bookcase that held notebooks of patterns. 
The Bottom shelf was mostly a Loss!
Here's DH breaking down the Thread cabinet. 
I bought it when our Hancocks closed. 
That was 17 years ago.

Friday night we got to go to the 1st Home Game of our Beloved Sweets Baseball team. 

Paul painting baseboards while waiting for the mud to dry on the sheet rock we replaced.

Here's the corner...

The Old Quilting table is Out of the Basement.
