Uptown BOM Plus Summer Fun!

Happy Friday! Here's my next Uptown block. Do you know there are only 2 blocks left?! Whoop! Whoop!





I've started assembling the blocks and leaf sprig blocks. I'm setting them like the antique. 



I've been having summer fun as well!

Family time at the beach. 

LOVE the flower explosion in the damper climate. (remember I'm in the desert)

Elsa had a lot of fun too!

The "kids" treated us to a concert- it was actually a father's day gift. Dinner too!
It was a lovely night for an outdoor summer concert. Who, you ask? Tears for Fears. 

Have a lovely weekend!

Vintage Quilt Monday and book Winner

Here's another fun, quirky, humble vintage quilt in my collection.

Here this soda pop girl steps in for some of the plain sashing. 

The sashing cornerstones are as charming as ever! 

These look like printed flour or sugar feed sacks. 

This one wasn't quite the right size so they added a tiny strip. 


Look at these cornerstone sizes!! What's not to love???

The backing has Yukon's Best printed. I see that this mill was located in Yukon, Oklahoma.

I passed along some wool suiting samples that have been sitting in my stash far too long. 
And as a thank you Roxann she sent me these lovely feed sacks!! Thank you Roxann. 
I laughed that we'd be sending thank you's for the thank you's!! LOL LOL 



I couldn't find any photos but I was a cowgirl in a past life. 
Love patriotic.

 Aren't they lovely??!!
 Friday night we attended a Lynrd Skynrd concert with Bad Company. YES! It was really terrific.
We had to rush back super early to open the business....boo- hiss....
 But I finally made it to the local farmer's market. Yay!
Then after a long day we zipped up to the County fair. Here is my grand nephew in an oversized Johnny Jump up! LOL 

And here is the swine we purchased at the FFA/4H auction. I thought the little boy was so stinkin' cute!! We sold it back for the going rate so no pork in my freezer- it is just too much food, but we like to support the kids. 


Commenter #1 is the winner of the book! Danice, I'll drop it in the mail today!!
Congratulations!!

Summertime Sampler in Autumn!

It seems I am finishing quilts in the wrong season. 

 This one is plenty big and will be ready for my bed when summer gets here.




The back is one I purchased when back in Ohio. My first ever from Joann's! It was a wide one that I didn't have to piece and that was key. I left this in Ohio last summer and my friend Kat quilted it for me.

I'm loving the Palmateer Point versions!

See you Friday!
