Popsicle Sticks - the Finish... and!! Finished ( or not) Friday!

 I was on a roll with this one - and I just didn't want to stop the momentum...

Can you see all that smoke in the background? We are not even near where the fires are - I can not imagine how bad it is for those folks near them...  We can't see the mountains.

Daisy and Bella got in on the action - the change in the sunlight sure changes the colors

I quilted this one with *Twinkling Columbines* from  The Quilt Store. ( aka Dawnas Design Threads)

I already had it on my table - so figured since it was set up, and I am a Coloradoan.. Why Not?

Also - I used Scrap Binding - you know how you collect those little ends? I decided to put them together - and Bam! It was just perfect for this one!

Pound Puppy says Hi ! She is on assignment with Little Bit - but she wanted in on the action!!

Do you know that this Popsicle is only my Third personal finish for the year? And the other two were baby quilts that I have gifted already?  That really shocks me!!!  

I have made memory quilts, and T shirt Quilts and other memory Quilts - but I thought I was working my stuff in there.  

I was - just not to the finish stage... I have better get a move on it!

Now !!it is your turn!!

Show us what you have been up to!!

Popsicle Sticks Progress

 I think I found a new Favorite for 2 1/2 inch strips!!!

I got all the blocks made for my Popsicle Sticks Quilt ( Pattern from Atkinson designs)

and I am already dreaming of another... not very helpful to my - GET ER DONE August plan tho! Keep me in Check!!!

Here are all the blocks... its ready to be rowed:

Isn't that just a fun one?  I used all sorts of scraps and didn't really care much about color placement. I did try to make sure the colors all were friends tho and went together.

Then I tried to get Daisy and Bella to pose. Daisy is all in... Bella... it was just WAYYYYy to much to ask of her.

They are not fans of the heat waves we have been having. We are up at 5 to get all our chores done before we sweat to much, however - it is not as successful as we wish.

We had a HUGE Rainstorm - it was awesome. It has been so humid for Colorado without much rain here, so the three of us were out about a mile from the house moving cattle, and a little rain started. 

We were on foot - and before we even made it halfway back it was a downpour - for 7 minutes. Enough to soak us clear thru, cool the temps and make us giggle.

But by the time we had cows corralled, we were soaked and steamy - the temps went right back to the mid 90's....

Blocks, Blocks, and more Blocks ... and Finished (or not) Friday

Today is an *or not* Friday - but man did we have a fun week!

Started with our Regular QOV sew day - 

I had such fun making blocks for Cynthias Many Hands Many Hearts drive that we stole it!!! and !!

Made 94 blocks for our sew day . We need 80 per quilt, and I have 160 cut - can you believe it!!   ( ps Cynthia - the blocks I made for you will be winging out soon)

Then I was invited to be the speaker at my Home Guild - Pieceable Friends in Greeley - and before the program 10 of us got together and did a workshop.

I cut enough blocks for 4 quilts - we got all the blocks done, and even got a few rows assembled

But wait!! There is more!!

Remember my scrappy start to Popsicle Sticks?

Block components are made - and ready to assemble!!

No finishes - but lots of progress on the starts!!

Popsicle Sticks

 I just had the urge to start a new project. 

I do not need a new project, I do not have a reason for a new project... but! I gave in to the desire anyways.

I had been saving a stack of 2 1/2 inch strips cut from other projects and I really want to use them. Not all of them were width of fabric, not all of them were long -  but!!!

I found the perfect project.

From Atkinson Designs! I have made several of her patterns and they make sense to my brain!!

now this stack of strips (above) is cut and ready for piecing (Below) 

I have no willpower.... Pringles still need to be done....
