Design Wall/Floor Monday- Webbed one-way

Even with a busy Travel day,
I had time to web the sashings for
'On the Go' quilt one-way.
The sashing helps the quilt get bigger. 
I'll need to clip the webbed strings and add the long sashings and then do borders.
I'm liking the arrangement since I left it
In the floor.
Lots of moving colors around. 
Linking up HERE 

Saturday started at a Football game.
The weather was chilly and I was thankful Paul reminded me to bring a coat.
We put in 2 Quilts as well.
They were shared with DD#2 family.
I don't know if they Won!
We left to head up to the Memorial for Paul's Neighbor & Classmate in Mesa.
1st stop was to place some Autumn flowers 
On Mom & Dad Crowther's Grave.

His Sister, 3 niece's and Brother were there.
4 little grandnephews, too.
They were grateful Uncle Paul and I brought quilts to share. BowTie L/E and Jack of Hearts mystery by Heather that was made for Paul's Mother.
Under the black coat there is a baby. 
That westerly wind brought the Chill!
Lots of memories of this Classmate and Neighbor were told and a favorite song was shared by his wife and daughter.
"Spirit in the Sky" by Norman Greenbaum.
Sung by the Eagles.
I thought it was a Creedence Clearwater Revival song from the 70's.
It was too cold to stay and eat the food.
We all filled a plate and took it in our cars.

Paul drove by our old place, where all of our children were brought after they were born.
43 years ago the trees weren't there.
See how they tower over the house?
And the sagging roof on the old Shed.
The circles have replaced the Syphon tubes that watered this field.
Driving down a memory lane!

My DD#1  had the day off so we made a plan to spend a little time together.

She needed to be home in time to do her
 PTA presentation last night.
I picked up my Bag and Passport at
 Walla Walla Sew, Vac and Spas. 

I stopped at Janean's Bernina on my way 
to her home in Richland.
1st stop together was Quiltmania. 
Gotta take a Picture, DD#1 says.
Forgot to take a selfie, lol
Then it was on to Benton City, Prosser then after Lunch and a Stop 
Samples at Chukar Cherries!
Back to Kennewick for 2 more stops.
I got 7 shops, 5 with NaDell. 
She's a good sport to drive. 
She doesn't Quilt, but we had a nice visit.
Fun to see the Red White and Blue Quilts
 at the different Shops.
A Red, White or Blue FQ from each shop.
The Hop is hoping for New Quilts of Valor
to be donated to our Servicemembers. 
I'll catch another Shop today.
Busy weekend ahead.

Design Wall Monday- 1st Day of Fall

My friends who Love Fall...
I apologize!
I'm not a fan.
I love the holiday season but Fall colors,
Not so much.
I did get a few stitches in last week.
More "On the Go" Blocks.
Cut, sew, press, trim, Repeat.
 See previous posts.
It was busy with other things.

Brown Sisters at Spokane Temple 
Our Hubby's got to come too.
It's been 18 years since I was there.
I will not complain about the 1 hour drive to Columbia River Temple ever again!
Long drive to and from filled our Saturday.

These crops are still not ready for Fall.
Tomatoes for Chili Sauce,  Fall is for harvest.
Our Corn was planted late.
So I say Fall can wait!!
Quilting on the Dryside Shop Hop starts this coming Thursday.
Happy Monday, anyway.

Late Friday Post-

I had a re-do on a pre-mission test.
Not fun getting a call from the 
 Mission Medical Department. 
Had to get up early and didn't pre-write a Blog post last night.
My MoJo has been lacking.
I did sew my Arrows into bigger blocks.
I need to cut some more block parts.
And...
This New Lori Holt Book arrived.
My Quilt buddy wants to 
sew it with me. 
Gotta find a sew day.

Tomorrow is Sew a Jelly Roll Day.
Will you be sewing?
I'll be in Spokane with my DH,
 Sister & her hubby, celebrating our 
Daddy's 106 Birthday.
Miss him still after almost
40 years.

It was fun to attend the 
Walla Walla Valley Quilt Festival 
This past Weekend the Girls came.
Obligatory Pictures were taken...
Elizabeth had 2 Quilts in the Festival.
The T-shirt quilt she made without any  Grandma help.
Olivia's Quilt was under a big light so she said it looked washed out. 
It shows the Quilting though. 

Lydia with her 2nd Quilt
She learned so much.

Christen took this one!
Thanks for driving the girls here.
This is why I do Quiltin Grandma Camp ♡
The girls didn't want to stay for the Demo so we left after voting for our Favorites to go eat, but where?

A Local burger place with the best Milkshakes.
