Teal RSC Diamond Chain and !! finished ( or not) Friday

This was my February/August RSC quilt!  I got the color wrong the first time, but kept stitching, Then put it away, then pulled it back out again.... and now!!!

It is a finish!!!

I had a lot of fun using all the teals, and then Navy and white for the chain part. I was making it for  me, but then a friend said they were getting married, and these are her favorites colors.... but when it was all done, my son said - Oh I'd like that one... so we are all up in the air as to where it will go!

The backing: 

Just a Funny . I was looking for some crazy prints to make Ice cream Bowl cozies with, I pulled out a box, and now!! I don't want to put it back until it is empty. So I pulled this yardage out of the box for backing   - and it works!!!

I looked back at all my RSC tops that I finished - I think I only have 2 to quilt... go me!!

It is now YOUR TURN!!!

August's RSC

I think it is aquamarine - but I am choosing Teal or maybe some is Aqua - anyway.. I am in the same color family.... its just what I have!

I pulled a Pile of 3 1/2 inch strip scraps. I am sure that I got carried away cutting on one of my projects, and then they just went in the bucket....

So I cut them all 6 1/2 inches long -and got started on:

This ☝- the pattern I saw was called a Family Sized Potato Chip Quilt - and I can not find the link I used - but it starts like a Potato Chip block but you just keep going.... This is as far as I got by Sunday night - when I had to go play with the puppies.

We have a visiting puppy again - my Youngest son is home and brought his Puppy....

Remember way back when Red was the RSC - but some of us ( ahem  me!) got confused and pulled Teal?  I pulled those Teal blocks back out and started making more of these:

I hope I have enough cut to make the Quilt I started during the RED month bigger... We shall see!!

May's Green Emerald Chain Finish!!! and !! Finished ( or not) Friday!

 Hold on to your hats quilters.... I have my MAY project done!!  Heck ya - I am not as far behind as I think I am, or, well, maybe I am , but today!! lets celebrate a FINISH!!!

My May RSC - Green was the color - I used my trusty Diamond Chain/Buckeye Beauty plan - but Nann suggested I call it Emerald Chain - and I loved it!!.

We have had the strangest weather - from super hot ( 105) to Cool ( 60) and wind, and smoke and sun and oh boy... there are a lot of fires on the western side of the state and the smoke comes right this way - so you never know what you are going to get when it is photo time. And Bella and Daisy... they are over the 100d days... they think they are dumb haha!!

But!! this quilt is finished - it is about 64 x 80 inches, It used a Ton of my Greens - and!! I quilted it with circles like champagne bubbles - so it is a celebration. Also... It has found its home! More on that later.

What have you been up to this week? Anything fun, Anything Finished? Anything closer to finished?

Purple Diamond chain Top !! and Finished ( or not) Friday!

 I finished my July Purple Diamond Chain Rainbow Scrap Challenge top just under the wire!!! - Go me!

And of course, you will see it again - I mean I still needs to be Quilted ( and bound 😱)  

I think it turned out about 40 ish x 48 ish inches - so a nice little small lap quilt... and its Purple - Who knew I loved Purple so much! I did not, and Now I want it everywhere!!!

It was also our County Fair week - So I entered a Quilt... It was in the group Category as the blocks were all made by different people, I pieced it, Quilted it . and - oh ya! I bound it.

You can see the full quilt here : Starry Log Cabin  I wish there had been enough room to display the whole thing. But!! I did a write up about Quilts of Valor, and they printed that and had it next to the quilt.

We won First in our Class, and Champion in the category  - so Yay us!!!

This next quilt is not mine, but I quilted it. It was pretty exciting to see that this one Won Overall Reserve Grand!!! 

It's an amazing quilt and I really enjoyed Quilting it - so it made my heart happy that it did so well!!

hope you all had a great week too - and got some stitching in!

It is now time for you to brag! Strut your stuff! show us what happened in your world... and better yet - what did you get to the Finish part???

We are the Grapes of Wrath

 ♫♬🎜🎝We are the grapes of wrath......

We'll never take a bath
It is our style to seldom smile
And never laugh!
We are the grapes of wrath
So stay out of our path
There's no escape from cranky grapes
We are the grapes of wrath♫♬🎜🎝

I think I have a music problem.. Songs just keep popping up in my head...

Here is the video of this one: 

We are the grapes of wrath you tube

I pulled out the purples to see what I had - and started singing... which turned into these few blocks and fabric for a lot more - and!! Purple yarn.. I have been lax in showing my looming - and lax in looming a lot of hats... I have quite a few - but need to do more!!

I have pulled my Purple yarns to get back to it!

i think I am going to change directions tho - and use a solid purple for the squares in the next blocks - see what I think of that.... maybe...

Plaid Patriotic Buckeye Quilt and !! Finished ( or not) Friday!!!

Wednesday Morning we woke up - and I tried to turn the water on - to no avail! Our Well Pump had died. For some reason that just threw off my whole day , and seemed to get my morning off to a rough start - I had to brush my teeth without water...

Well not totally true - we do have a lot of bottled water that we save and refill quite often - just in case. When the power goes out we also have no water. 

I also still had 2 quilts of valor to wash for the next presentation... that flustered me..

So I went quilting!!

I made this Plaid Patriotic Diamond Chain quilt - ( or Buckeye Beauty) and I think it was time to quilt it up!!! I Love plaid.... its just awesome!

Now you knew - i was going to have to make the girls pose! They are really getting the hang of it, and I believe they think it is expected anymore haha

It has been cloudy and overcast - but when I went to take photos the sun was so bright - it got hard to see the quilting pattern.... But yay!! this will go off to the binder... and bam!! one more will be ready to roll!

Just for fun - this is the hay field - doesn't it look so cool? ahh maybe not as cool in a photo as it is  in person - but the circles, I thought that would be a cool quilting design. 

now it is your turn!! Link up your favorite post from this week and show us what you finished (or not)

Yellow RSC Diamond chain done and ! Finished ( or not) Friday!!

 I am starting to see a theme around here!! Lookie what else I just got finished!!

March's Yellow rsc quilt - And I mean it is finished... as in all bound and everything!!

The girls were too busy chasing each other to come pose with it - so I let them wear themselves out.

I think this one measures about 50 x 64 ish??? I can't quite remember, and I really did measure it before I loaded it on the machine. I really like the texture of the quilting. I used a f dream puff  - so its really soft and  drapey.

Its listed in my etsy shop  - so maybe it will make someone's day :

Now it is your turn!! Link up your direct post  - tell us what you finished, or didn't, and how its going!!

I love visiting all the blogs and checking things out !!!

May's Green Diamond Chain Top - aka Emerald Chain

 Mays Rainbow Scrap Challenge color was Green.. I did not make the May deadline. 

I finally did get the top finished tho!! so yay!! Now it is in the to be quilted pile, and it still has a deadline. this quilt has a destination!!!

Of course it had to be o the green green grass.... that I forget gets pretty hot when the sun shines on it. The girls were ready to pose, but Bella stepped on the grass on got right off.  I am glad she knew to do that!

I also finished some of these scrappy blocks: 

51 of them. I was going to make my wonky logs, but some of the pieces were so small - I went with these crumb blocks instead. What will the become? I have no idea as of this moment! they measure 4 1/2 inches.

I was quilting a T shirt quilt for a client - I think this was my favorite shirt in it haha!!

RSC- Green!!! Buckeye Beauty ( jewel box) ( Diamond Chain) Update

 Green is our Rainbow scrap color - and!! I love Green ... but apparently - May doesn't have enough days in it for me to finish this top. That's okay!! I will keep stitching... but you will want to read on as to what might have delayed me a bit.

Here's where I find myself on the Green RSC quilt top:

I need 80 blocks as I want this one to be bigger than couch size. It actually has a recipient in mind at this moment! So I need to keep stitching some blocks and get it the right size.

But look what distracted me!

A cute new baby!!! And check out my Bella - laying all nice and calm by her. Puppy belongs to my son - he works in the field ( archaeologist) so he got himself a companion. She did come home about a month ago to meet us - and it was a little chaotic - but he was only here 3 days - so we made do.

This time the weather made him stay for a week - oh! and a wedding! My girls did SO good with her. Daisy - well - Daisy - she lets you know when she is done with the puppy , so we made sure to remove her from the situation. Bella - she was so curious - and just couldn't figure out how to play and run when that puppy was on a leash.  Puppy is a 7 1/2 ish month old Pound puppy. She is learning how to follow rules;-)

And check out my Reno baby!! So Reno's mommy is pregnant again - and we have a bet going on here as to when she is going to actually deliver the baby.... the bet keeps changing - as so far - I have been winning them all. I say June 3 - K says last Saturday, Last Monday and Last night....  no baby yet.

Puppy left last night - My Pups are all worn out - I see a catch up day in my future!
