Road to California

Sewelectic

Last night I met with the little Art Group "Sew Eclectic"that I belong to. We decided to try a challenge for this year. We have a list of Play on Words that we can choose from. We are to make a 12" X 12" Quilt using that Play on Words. Once we get one made we will bring it to our meeting to share and then hopefully make another one and another one. I'm really going to try to do this challenge. It just seems that everything I do these days is a challenge though. Some of the phrases or Play on Words are:

Swine Flu
Boot Camp
Flower Child
Oopsy Daisy
Fruit of the Loom
Feeling Crabby
It's a Jungle Out There
No Spring Chicken
Pass the Buck

and on and on. You get the picture. Well ,what da ya think? Sounds like fun?

Don't Fall Over! I'm Blogging!

I don't want anyone to hurt themselves. So don't be too shocked! I'm Blogging again. I'm sorry I don't have any real excuses other than I'm just not good at it.

My life last year was very stressful. I lost my Daddy in September and I lost my Little Squirt in December.

So now I'm ready to get on with it!

If you are going to Road to California, keep your eye out for my Quilt "Blue Berry Wine" it was Juried into the Show!

I sent entries in for 2 other Quilts, but they didn't get in. They were "Autumn Wood" and "My Little Squirt" Those two got into PIQF in October of 2010.

I have been Quilting my "2010 Material Girl Signature Blocks". I had everyone make Halloween Blocks. They turned out so cute. As soon as I get it finished, I'll post it.

I have no idea how I got the top section underlined! Barbara I need your help!

Yes I really do work on projects. Here are my 16 Blocks Done! These are my Signature Blocks that are done on June the 12th. I hope everyone else will have theirs done. I know Barbara Sindlinger has her blocks done. Does anyone else?

It such a beautiful day! I just thought I would share how beautiful my yard is right now. Before everything gets burned from the summer heat!

Well, I'll be off to the Best of the Valley Quilt Show in a little while. My Mother and Husband are going with me this morning. I'll be working this afternoon.

Best of the Valley Quilt Show

Here is the "Best Use of Color" winner at the Best of the Valley Quilt Show! Janice Minyard! It was so exciting walk into the show with Janice. She was so surprised and happy. She told me she never wins. Well she did this year. Good for her.

This quilt was made by my friend Diane Mitchell. It is the Vintage Moments Pattern. She received a second place ribbon. Congratulations Diane! A really Beautiful Quilt.

These two Quilts were made by my friend Barbara Sindlinger. Aren't they Beautiful? They both received Honorable Mention Ribbons.

Here is my quilt "Autumn Wood". It received a First Place Ribbon. I'll show more tomorrow.

"Little Squirt"

I finally finished "Little Squirt"! I'm so please with this project. It really looks just like my Little Squirt. Squirt is 16 years old now. I love him dearly.
