It's a Flimsy FriYay!

We surprised Darlene 
Our Queen of Go, Cutters.

An envelope with $$ for yard sale bargains.
Or Accuquilt stuff. 

I got borders on my Indigo Way.
Not as big as Bonnie's 
But it's a Flimsy.

Picked my first Blueberries, yum!

Wow-Wednesday TA-DA

It's Done ✔️ 
Not Quilted yet but a Flimsy.
Hopefully Quilted by July 4th.

There are a few pieces touching that are the same.
They are staying there.

I put that last corner on yesterday. 
Shared it at Guild last night.

We had a fun time swapping, at least 9 of us remembered to bring a UFO to swap.
 We should have documented who got which UFO. 
This one is mine. 
I stole it the 2nd time. 
So I got to keep it.

It just needs Quilting. It will be a fun one
 to quilt in July.

Maybe I'll be caught up by then.
Life happens while you're having fun!

Happy Hump Day!

Monday, rest day!

It was a busy weekend!

Friday night, we stopped by to give Vincent his card
He graduated in Tri-Cities. 

We drove on to Zillah, where his cousin 
Lydia Graduated.
No pictures allowed to post.
It was good to see all of her siblings came home 
for the occasion.

Saturday was our Guild Yard Sale. 
I was in the back.
I sold a few things and made a little extra.
The rest will be offered at the free Table or given to 
the Round Tuit Room in Tri-Cities. 
I didn't take a picture of my table or of my helper.
Thankful Jackson came to help his Grandma
 and all the ladies

I made Chow mein for the linger Longer at YSA. 
I forgot to take a picture.
It was a busy Sunday!



On Sunday we went to his Seminary Recognition.
It's always good when both Grandparents 

I got the needed fabric in the mail. 
I can finish the Wedding DWR Quilt 
Hurray!

My baby girl and her crazy hair mama! 
Running errands today.

Green beans are up!

It's Strawberry Season!

 My row of Roses

And the lilies...



Two graduates to Celebrate tonight.
So busy, I thought it would slow down 
after May's busy month.

Maybe after next week, hahaha 😆 
Then comes Grandma Quilt Camp!

Wow-Wednesday

 It's been a week already! 
I took my Indigo Way Mystery to UFO and
 Open Sew days at Powered by Fabric. 
On the wall before trimming.
I decided not to make partial blocks. 
This just needs a few borders.
I might need a few more tri-rec blocks. 

I have a few things to add to this Yard Sale. 
Extra books, rulers and some fabrics to mark.
I have a few machines in my collection that 
need a home. 
If you're local come see us. 

Had to fix a flier.
Cut and paste on an old flier.

Had a Guild Board meeting in the evening. 
I love the ladies I work with.

Today I Quilt! Gotta get one off the frame.

What are you working on?

Monday, Monday

It's a UFO Day and Birthday Lunch Day today 
down at Powered by Fabric 
 I have a UFO perfect to work on.
 All the blocks are done. 
Or enough to make a good sized Quilt.
This is Indigo Way from a few years ago.
I need another Red White and Blue Quilt, lol.
There are partial blocks as setting triangles 
in the pattern. 
That's why this Quilt wasn't finished.
Do I put solid setting Triangles and get it done??
What color would you suggest? 
Red or White or Blue?
Dark or light Blue?
Oh the possibilities. 

I'm waiting for the background fabric to 
Finish the last 2 corner blocks on this DWR.
It fits on my Queen sized bed.
I spent Friday evening after I mowed the lawn sewing it together.
I even pieced a few outside background 
pieces to get this far.

Saturday was a Hearts and Flowers Day.
Walla Walla Valley Quilt Guild Sew Day.
eddie doesn't charge us for this day.
In the Back room they were putting Quilts together on the Design Wall. 


Aren't they fun??

These are the 2 Zinnia flowers I made in 6" and 12"
Opps,
I was tired after my late night.  
The leaves are upside down on the 6" block! 
I also made a 12" Basket Block and a couple of 
 Nine Patches andForgot to take a picture of them. Spool blocks. 
Forgot to take a picture of them.
My Quilt buddy made a Lot more, cause 
she didn't sleep in.
I did remember to get a picture with her 
before she left.

I'm planning how to get the Granddaughters together in June to have Grandma's Quilt Camp.
Stay tuned, the newest 11 year old Granddaughter wants to come.
The Sweets Game might be fun to go to one night.

It's FriYay

 I have a Quilt on the Q20 that needs to get DONE!
The RWB Double Wedding Ring Quilt is next. 
Janessa said that I should finish it while they were on the Honeymoon. Ha ha ha

Sew many Quilts, Sew little time.
The RBD finishing instructions are printed. 
I think I have a few more blocks to make.
Like about 10 more.

I need a month at HOME!
With no distractions. 

It's a Graduation week.
One Graduated last night in Wyoming. 
Thankful I was home to watch on my phone.
Same School colors that I had.
Stay Gold!

Two more that Graduate this week on the same day,
We'll see if Grandpa can go for a long ride.

Wow-Wednesday

It's Wednesday after the Wedding. 
A few sneak peeks came from the Photographer. 
Fun to see all of them. 
I took a few just for me.
Actually,  Dan's mom took this one.

A selfie with DD#1

Going to meet the Groom for a first look of the dresses. I made the 2 girl's dresses.
Elizabeth made Janessa's


Olivia played her violin while Jackson and Jacob walked their mom down the aisle. 

Janessa's veil blew off during the ceremony. 
Jacob picked it up.
The dresses and bowties turned out just right.

Mr and Mrs Lockart!

I had to screenshot this one. 
Janessa with her Dad and Dan.
 NaDell took it.

It was a beautiful day,  I gained a new Son and 3 grandchildren in the Wedding. 
I've never seen my daughter so happy.

Now it's time to get back to the Wedding Quilt. 

Whatcha Working on??

Monday Travels

 My Sister went with me on my Pilgramge today.
 Pictures loaded in reverse.
Last stop before a late lunch was near Mesa

We stopped in by Warden to see our Brother's 
Headstone

Gordon's parents are buried not too far 
from our parents 

The selfie stick didn't work. 
So individual photos. 

As long as I can, and I have roses, I will go!

Now it's raining in Walla Walla. 

Memorial Day 2026 is done, time for a nap.

Friday, May 22, 2026

Hurray, it's FriYay!

 It's the day we've waited for.
So much preparation that is coming to pass.
We had a girls day at the nail spa.
My 2 girls!
We were going to get a picture together, we forgot!

More pictures today! 
The setting up went smoothly.
Gotta wipe down the chairs today.

I tried curling my hair with like 
my momma used to do.
Ringlets like Shirley Temple. 
Not 56, not perfect.
But it was fun to try.

Happy FriYay!
