FriYay Flimsies!

I sewed two flimsies together at Wednesdays
 Open Sew day
My Fresh Cut  from the Guild Workshop. 
Needs a border.
Gigisthimble.com has a new color blocked version posted today.

I scrapped the dark purple setting triangles. 
Found some more Purple with snowflakes
 in my Stash, yea!
I'll cut the corners and use up the rest for a border.
I like this better.

I also cut bindings for two quilts. 
Sewed a backing for another TBQ.
It's been a busy week with 3 days in a row downtown!

It's a 2 Day MGQS event with Kimberbell.
Virtually.
Can I get on the Zoom? 
We are trying!!
This is me at Camp Lame-O

 Have a good weekend.

Wow-Wednesday

I had to do it!
It's Christmas on July time.
I put my Christmas fabrics in a couple of Totes. 
Found one and took it downtown Monday.
Broke out my Accuquilt Go Cutter. 
I had 2 Layer Cakes in there from Missouri Star
I got all these blocks made that day.
Chandelier Quilt #3.
It's like a Quilt in a day.
Had to put them on the wall. 
This one is for us. 
"Christmas in Quilt Town!"
I had purple snowflake fabric to use as background 💜  Perfect for my Purple loving heart.

Then eddie and the Committee started moving  blocks around... what if?
This could make it bigger.
Use another Background, make 12 more blocks.
I had a plan, thanks to eddie!

Tuesday's blacks added. Will there be enough for the setting triangles? Nope!
Maybe I could piece some fabric and make those 4 missing triangles. 
I pinned the rows as I took if off the wall.
Then it was lunchtime.
I skipped eating to sew the rows on the diagonal.
Making this reminded me that I need to Quilt Michael and Elizabeth's Christmas Quilt. 
I will get the backing made today. 
Found a flannel piece long enough to piece it.

Went home early to get ready for Quilt Guild.
I'm in charge!
Got the chicken strips ordered last week
I left home early and had some extra time.
Went to see if DD#2 was home.
She is so good at helping me with flyers!
Isn't this great?

Yea, we are scheduling an At Home Retreat.
We can sew all day and go home to
 sleep in our own beds.
I need to plan the meals. 
eddie says she'll head up the Sunday 
sewing time for me.
  I can stop by after to help
 with the cleanup.
No stitching on Sunday for me...

July is half over.
I am late to start the Fat Quarter Shop Sal.
Printed the first two clues.
Well see if I can catch-up.

Whew, now I'm tired!
It's a 3 day sewing week at Powered by Fabric. 
I can do it!

What fun have you started this month?

Monday's here!

I did it!
The DWR is Quilted!

I used a swirly design called "Breath of the Gods".
It took less passes than I put on the screen. 
I will trim it and get the binding and label on later.

So Beause I finished it, I got to go see our boys of Summer play Baseball. 
It was a beautiful night.
Not too hot, breezes blowing the flag.

Sweet Lou after the 7th inning Stretch.

It's a "Go" Day at Powered by Fabric. 
I bought a Go but have never used it.
The Go ladies at Powered by Fabric meet usually
Meet on a Thursday when I am at the Temple. 
Hurray Today, I get to "go" play with them.

 If I get there early I can use the big table to trim.
Have a great week blogging friends.
Thanks for the comments  😄

FriYay again

It's a FriYay!
I'm at home, wishing I was somewhere else.
Sister's Qutdoor Quilt Show is tomorrow. 
I can't go!
But I can choose to make the most of my 
time at home.
I need to Quilt downstairs.
My pile of flimsies isn't getting any smaller.

This is a good thing I have a couple days at home.
Check back Monday to see what I get done.

Wow-Wednesday

I went to stitch at Powered by Fabric two 
days in a row. 
I had a quest to finish the Flowers.
I cut out one single Fabric and 2 doubles. 
No extra block for me.
A friend said she wanted to see them of the wall. 
I got the last two flowers done.
The leaf part look like birds to me.
It got eddie's approval.
It looked balanced, she said.
It's stacked and ready to sew together. 
Hurray!

I came home and iced my back.
Chiro Day.
I should have iced after, but went straight to sew.
Then I mowed the lawn in 90° weather. 
I can do hard things!

Whacha Working On?

Monday Stitching

 It's a July Monday.
Hot hot hot!
My machine was humming along, 
Until the bobbin ran out...
I added 4 flowers more today.
Just 5 more to finish this project.
This isn't the final layout. 
One more row,  more like this.

Here's us on the 250th Birthday of America!
A lot more gray hair. 
But we're still moving and celebrating. 
There was a Sweets Game to watch!
They won the series ar home.
Got there in the 2nd inning.
We almost napped too long.
Got our new hats!

FriYay-250 USA

Tonight we'll be celebrating with Fireworks after
The Sweets Game.
I put the flags out this morning. 

We had a good trip to be with Christopher as he received his Endowment. 
So happy that we share a Missionary
 with the Bosens.

Had to take a picture of us. 

Star Valley Temple at sunrise Thursday morning. 

We left Tuesday morning and got to Burley in time
to attend the Temple. 
Tired but still moving!

Burley, Idaho Temple 
Recently dedicated. 

Monticello Temple
Open house will be in September.

Have to get a picture of the Afton Arch
Pretty clouds

The carpet in out Wednesday night hotel
looked like a Double Wedding Ring Quilt pattern.


Inspiration is Everywhere!

I did get to stop at 2 Quilt shops.
Idaho Falls and Baker City both still had
 their pattern cards.

Hurray for the USA! 
I should be Quilting the DWR pictured above.
There are berries to pick and errands to run.
My back is screaming. 
Chiro next week. 

How are you celebrating?

Last Monday in June

Saturday was a Walla Walla Valley Quilt 
Guild Sew-in 
Eddie had fun playing with Patriotic fabrics.

Habitat for Humanity blocks on the wall.
We had a Sew Day and made a Lot of Blocks
 in the Spring.
Yea for our Guild ladies. 

Lynn has been working on this one since 2021.
It's called Playtime.
She also finished sewing together her
 Woven Diamonds made from a layer cake.

This is our fearless leader, eddie Walker. 
She spent time cutting on her Accuquilt 'Bolt'.
It made this block easy!

I took my Workshop project
'Fresh Cut'
I made 4 partial blocks, just need the leaf parts sewn on. 

There was a ballgame to attend on Saturday night. 
It was Adam West Day at Borleske.
Da Da Da Da Da Batman!
A part of my childhood returns...
The Batmobile!
Adam West grew up in Walla Walla. 

On the field

I spied Batman and Sweet Lou!

Star Spangled Banner under cloudy, darkening sky.
After there was a drone show.
1st ever in Borleske Stadium. 
 

 Very cool!

FriYay- RWB DWR loaded

The Wedding RWB DWR is on Q20.
I can't decide what I want to Quilt it with. 
Vergated blues, Parchment, light blue, cream??
I have lots of quilt patterns.
Choosing will be fun.

We're having a RWB charm Swap.
I cut a bunch so I am ready.
While I was cutting I cut some to make more Double 9-patches. 

This came from Amazon, I needed a new
neutral purse.

Tonight we get to go to watch the Tabernacle Choir at the Hollywood Bowl.
It's a Watch party at the Church. 

How are you celebrating 250 years?

Wow-Wednesday

It was Scrap Day at Powered by Fabric 
Eddie suggested tiny 9-patches made
 from 1 1/2" strips 
I showed her this quilt.
Double Delight a Quiltville Mystery from 2005 
This is my friends quilt
I started mine and got sidetracked. 
Still in  tote...

Eddie had 100 red and cream 9 patches already made, so she had enough to make 20
Double 9-patches.
It was fun to share a good idea with her.

I wanted to try and make 9-patches 
From 4 1/2" squares, one light and one print.
My Double 9-patches 

We finally made it to a Sweets Game.
The YSA went, it was $2 Tuesday. 
They lost but we had fun.
