It's a FriYay!

Abby's Quilt got the Frosting on it! 

She asked for Dragonfly design,

 I didn't have one, so she got Butterflies. 

She used a Jelly roll of pretty purples & light greens

She wanted just a white border. 

Set squares on point.

That border was tricky to put on.

It needs the binding and a label. 

Ready for the Quilt Show!

✔️  Check!

I need to quilt a few more and work on my

 RWB Challenge.

But the RBD Block Challenge Blocks were calling.

Twirl Around by Amy Smart

Yesterday I drove to Tri-Cities for Quit guild.

This is a new sign for Member Featured Artist

at the Tri-City Quilters Show. 

We had a 'Culture' night at YSA 

I found my Memories book and Nebraska Rock that Sister Armstrong gave me when we left.

The treat was Pretzels and Peanut M&Ms

I found 2 Australia cloths and took Paul's Mission Journals.

I had him tell them what is a Prang, Barney, napkin, and he shared what he spent daily on his Mission.

 He kept a record. 

Not much stitching happened. 

I will remedy that after I Ice my back.

Wow-Wednesday- 1st Quilt Guild Meeting ✔️

A few of Part 7 got stitched too.

Bonnie calls them "Kitty ears"

My Quilt buddy is ordering an old Panto for me.

It is a Swirls one by Deb.

They sang Happy Birthday to me and we had Cake.

Noone took our Picture.

All the rooms were Full in the building. 

My Quilt Buddy and I were in the Hallway.

Forgot to get a picture of us too.

Yesterday,  Paul and I went to Tri-Cities. 

We talked with our Tax Man, Joe.

He's our Son, So smart like his Dad!

Today is a Sew Day at home! 

I have some errands to run later. 

I check back on Friday abd show you

Monday- Birthday Month

 It's my Birthday Month. 

Yes it's not just a one day Celebration  

for me this year.

I have Plans, each day I can, I will be stitching!

Today is a day at Eddie's - Powered by Fabric. 

We'll Celebrate January Birthdays. 

I need her big wall to decide where to take rows off to go on the top of my sister's DWR.

I think that the easiest place to add a row or two.

It hung over way far on both sides of her bed.

It was barely long enough to cover vertically. 

I got some more Shadow play for background. 

That is, if I need to make more blocks.

I'm gonna try to use what's extra as far as I can. 

It's been a long time in the making!

Almost 12 years.

So glad I set it on point finally to get those 

scallopped edges.

The smile on her face spoke volumes!

Hey Janet O, this is the one I brought home.

It had to be Purple!

I will work on the Lupine and Laughter Mystery 

parts 3, 4 and 6, 7 also.

Part 5 is done.

Will we get the reveal for my Birthday week?

Wait and see!

How's your New Year stitching plan going?

Happy FriYay

It's FriYay!

I posted on my Social Media how I spent my 

New Years Eve.

Donny asked What are you doing New Years Eve? Well, I went Quiltin'

Thanks to all who took time to get together at Powered by Fabric. So much better than staying home watching the Ball drop in NYC and

 Nashville by myself.

 We had some fun Swapping Pin Cushions and stitching into 2026. 

The Purple one in the lower right corner

 came home with me.

These are the Cut-offs from my Woven Diamonds. 

The borders were inspired by an Antique Quilt that I saw in Iowa back in 2021.

It took some sorting and OCD-ness, but I got it figured out.

I got one more Quilt top done & off the UFO list.

Woven Diamonds

My word of the year is Faith! 

I love this bock my Sister by Love gave me.

I have words from the Ornaments on my tree

 that I thought of using.

This one fits.

 These collage pictures are of the Finishes and Flimsies yet to Quilt. 

These are the five in my TBQ

 Prunes for Paul.

A Cutco trowel for him and a basket from Africa 

From the Jenny Box.

A lumbar pillow for DH and a Magnetic, rotating rack for me.

We were spoiled with gifts to unwrap.

This is some of the gifts I gave! 

Paul got a New Robe and Chocolates. 

Our Favorite kind.

My Sister has waited since 2014 for this day.

I sewed all day on the Eve of Christmas Eve.

I heard my momma saying, Get it done!

I put it in a Pillowcase.

Folded in half, it fits across their big bed.

I will get it Quilted soon!!

For my two recently married grandchildren, I made these Chandelier Christmas Quilts 

Elizabeth and Michael's needs to be Quilted.

Coy and Alisa went to Vegas on their Honeymoon. Not sure if they opened Christmas gifts yet. 

We were invited to our Youngest Daughter's for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day for dinner.

So nice to not travel far on Christmas. 

She is so much more Happy this year.

I worked today on Part 5, Part six is printed.

It's great when little 9 patch block parts fit together almost perfectly.

Happy FriYay
