I put the names of the Shops where I got my rows in the lower corner blocks.

 

I still needed a label in the corner. 

Selfie with  my 9th Row by Row Quilt 

Love seeing the flower from the back. 

 

Happy 4th of July

This is ME!

In front of my Grandma House.

All decked out in the Red White and Blue!

I've lined our sidewalk for years since our son's returned from Missions.

No Frankland Street Parade this year, :(

I posted this on Facebook this morning!

Happy Independence Day! I love this Country! Land of the FREE Because of the Brave!

Let your USA Flags fly with pride for all the Freedom we enjoy.

From my house to yours on this 4th of July!

Our popping fresh Blueberry pancakes with honey and a squirt of whipped cream!

So, so good!!

Last night's Sweets Game was a blowout.

This is Colby's friend Max at the plate.

Victorious Sweets at home on the 3rd of July!

And the fireworks even went off during the National Anthem sung by a 4th grader.

We got there just as she was introduced.

I love the old Commercial that talked about Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie and Chevrolet!

I know I'm old!

Who remembers??

Hubby asks our YSA friends,

"Is there a 4th of July in Mexico?"

Of course!

We're off to the Sweets Daytime Game then to a BBQ.

(there might be a nap in between.)

Enjoy and be safe!

Monday Stitching on Betsy

Well, it's Monday again!

This what I played with on Friday

It was Scrap Day at Powered by Fabric!

I started making the 4-Patches in just Purple.

Thought about it and put in some more colors this time.

I had to do some frog-stitching on the two Blocks I had made.

The Solid Squares were not in the right place.

The pattern is called "Plaid 4-Patch"

I'm 1/4 done with the Quilt.

July is here and it's time to turn in my Row By Row Quilt.

I swapped the top and bottom rows so the Picket Fence is on the bottom.

Got it put on "Betsy"

Chose a simple Quilting pattern called "Charms"

See the Butterfly?

Hubby couldn't see it, he says he doesn't see patterns.

All Quilted and ready for the Binding.

Not enough time for getting it all on and tacked down before the Sweets Game.

I can turn it in on Wednesday.

I'll message a picture to the owner and she'll count me finished today.

I did a stitching on a t-shirt to match the Quilt.

I sipped a few of the steps in the pattern.

Puckers happen...

Happy Monday!

Hope you're getting your stitches in, lol

Gotta make a salad for tomorrows BBQ.

It's Fri-yay

 I got my 8 Rows done ✔️ 

I decided to use the Blue as my sashing. 

It makes the flowers float better.

The watermelon and Ice cream had to go sideways.

#kissedquilts shared the Files to make the 'Summertime' Logo. Top right corner. 

I want to list the shops on 2 of the corners. 

That leaves one corner blank. 

I thought of making a Picket Fence row.

 The final quilt is still talking to me. 

But, I'd really rather just quilt it today.

The shop is closed on Saturday, July 1st. 

Not sure if it will be open Monday before July 4th

I'll call today to arrange when to deliver it.

It is a Scrapday at Eddie's so, 

this will marinate at home.

So happy the ladies reminded me that Guild

Is next week, not on the 4th of July!

Hooray, I have another week to collect 

and sort stuff.

Happy 4th of July coming up.

There's a Walla Walla 3rd Ward BBQ we got

 invited to last night. 

 I hope to attend the Sweets day Game.

Very busy start to our first week of July.

Wish me luck, fitting it all in!

WOW-WEDNESDAY

I stitch and stitch until I am tired.

After fixing the rest of the Daisy row and the stem. on the Bleeding Hearts row, 

I decided to take a Nap!

Then I worked on the Lilly Row. 

Putting it together was a challenge. 

Much Frog stitching and Ripping was needed.

I'm done with Paper-piecing for a long while!

I just have one last row to make.

It won't have the paper-pieced leaves on it. 

Changing it to a horizontal row of 4 blocks.

The top block is the one I need to 3 more of...

The Brown centers with be from my Stash. 

I'm not putting any more $$$ out on this!

Wow Wednesday is gonna be putting 

the rows together.

One suggestion was the put the 4 blue flowers with background, in the center,  rows on the back.

I may do that, we shall see...

It would be a smaller quilt. 

 

Row by Row 2023

Yesterday's stitching.

I am reminded of why I DON"T do Paper-Pieced Projects!

Gotta fix that stem border too.

Waiting for the Quilt Shoppe to open.

edited to add: Stash Quilt Shop in town didn't open 11am and Sew Vac N Spas didn't have it.
How many shades of Green Grunge do I need to finish this year's Quilt?
 Evidently just the one I didn't have enough of.

Row by Row 2023- one Paper-pieced flower at a time

I wonder if the center is supposed to be this way?

The Pink didn't match up like it was supposed to. 

Not doing it over again...Just saying!

Today I get to stay home and stitch, after my Chiro appointment.

Thank goodness for Text Reminders!

Oh and a stop at the Quilt store.

Hope to get the Row by Row finished and turned in this week.

July 1st is coming up quickly.

Fri-YAY in June!

 It's a Fri-Yay Flimsy Day!

I took my almost a Flimsy to show NaDell at her Work.

She wanted a few pictures.

Then she posted this one of me with the Book Quilt.

My friends and her friends think she's lucky!

Making the Books is really easy. MSQC Tutorial HERE

I spent at least 2 solid days stitching the Book Titles.

Hooping and re-Hooping the rows.

As I said it would have been easier before sewing the rows together.

Looking at the picture I might move a few rows around 

and turn a couple more sideways. Hummm...
6 more titles to embroider!

It should be a real flimsy by the end of the day.

It's a busy and Fun weekend!

Full of Baseball and Crafting with some friends.

We were all decked out in our Sweets gear, sitting in our favorite seats at Borleske.

Come watch with us on the 4th of July.

It's a 12:05 day game with Fireworks later.

Monday Deliveries

2 Great sons can now Sleep Under the Stars

The Quilts were delivered after Tri-Cities Quilt Guild Monday.

WOW-WEDNESDAY

 It's Flag Day! 

I fly the Flag, because "We are Free"

Mini Flag on the back door.

Summer Patriotic mini on the front Door.

These are on the inside of the door.

Hung with Magnetic holders.

The Quilt Rack by the front door got Patriotic too.

Not just for Flag Day!

July is coming up soon.

What are you Working On?

Monday Drive

It was a Beautiful day for a drive. 

My Sister and I at the Moses Lake Temple

I forgot my Selfie stick. 

Roma Teresa and I at the Temple.

Flowers put out for Father's Day. 

The shadow is me. 

They were mowing the grass so I am thinking they weren't there for long.

We were attending a Memorial for a Moses Lake Friend and Fellow Quilter.

She was loved by her family, who gave beautiful tributes to her lifelong Service and Kindness.

 

The Guest book Table.

Houses Quilt

Thomasene made this Quilt.

She loved to Cross Stitch her label.

This Quilt hung at the March Quilt show.

She made a Quilt for each holiday.

This one was her School Quilt.
