Two Wedding Quilts, Two BOM's, Two Grandbabies! TOO BLESSED!

Now that I have a table in my library/office I have really gotten into puzzles (and audiobooks).  Here is a quilty one I made last week.  

Here are my A Quilting Life BOM blocks.  Keeping up with them!

This is my Dakota Farmer Rainbow Scrap Challenge block and below, more of them.  I have many of these blocks in different colors and sizes and am looking forward to seeing them come together into quilts.  I think next year I am going to do Bonnie's new Morning Glories paper pieced pattern.  I enjoy paper piecing but like the idea of doing a few a month instead of all at once!  I love that pattern too.  Linking up with Angela.  

                                        

In other big news, Hazel has a baby sister!  Meet Indigo Avolyn!  Indie was born on August 10th (just barely) and is the sweetest angel!  Hazel is loving being a big sister (and turns three next month).  

 

Look how proud Hazel is of Indie!  Hannah and Jeremy have their hands fuller!

AND!!!  Coleman's oldest stepdaughter Hailey and her fiance Chava had Wren Randall on August 13th.  Here is big brother Matteo (last you saw his pic he was barely bigger than this!).  He looks pretty proud too!  

Hazel and I picked some of our plantings the other day.  Lots of tomatoes and some green beans.  

Hailey and Chava are getting married Labor Day weekend.  He is joining the Army and will soon go off to training.  This quilt will be their wedding gift.  I made this one with 35th Ave. BOM 2017 and it has been waiting for its forever home.  I hope they love it. (I did refold it differently in hopes the fold marks will disappear in transit!)

My honorary daughter Rachel is also getting married in Norway.  This is another 35th Ave.  Kaleidoscope of Kolor 2013 that has been waiting too.  Very happy to get these quilts out in the mail.  

 

En Provence--Clue Three is Done!

 

I still LOVE the palette I chose and this week I got to sew with more colors!

 

 Friday afternoon I got right to clue three of En Provence!  I am doing two shades of green instead of purples for this clue.  I spent most of Saturday afternoon sewing at Barb's house and got all of them made and clipped. 

 Today Kathy and I met BJ at 35th Ave Sew and Vac and signed up for the quilt below--it is the ten dollar quilt and we do a block per month all next year.  It is not our favorite but it gives us an opportunity to get together every month and catch up!

 BJ gifted me some Packer fabric!  Yay soon I need to get going on another Packer quilt as it is time to add some more to my Green Bay Packer Quilts Page!  If you have one you want to share, feel free to add it there!  I have made several Bonnie mysteries in Packer colors and I LOVE how they turn out!

 I also hit the clearance section and got some more greens in case there are more greens in En Provence.  The shades I am using were not plentiful in my stash so I feel better having these just in case!

 Also found a half off Cotton and Steel kit to add to the little bit I already had. I will be on the lookout for something cool to sew with it!

I spent some time tonight prepping for next week's sewing meetup. We are going to be making small design boards (I am using Lori Holt's tutorial) and I cannot wait to have a few of these as they have been on my list for a long time!
Already looking forward to clue four this Friday.  I love the mystery so much and only wish everyone could just relax and sew along and not stress on every little detail!
Linking up with Quiltville and looking forward to seeing your progress too!
