Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

[Majombaszo]

I just posted this on the thread for the WFF Show in Chehalis, but I wanted to repeat it here on the Washington thread....

I'm going to the Chehalis show just to look and chat. I hope to put faces with more of the names I see online. CR, Cloverleaf, and TotalColour are the only folks I've met in person. Would it be possible to schedule a "coffee break" or "tailgate get together" for all the BYC folks to gather and say "hello"?
I read that the coop out is Sunday Morning, so does that mean that most of the activity is Saturday afternoon?

Majombaszo: A link for the show is here: http://washingtonfeatherfanciers.webs.com/wffwintershow.htm It's Nov. 17-18.
I went to a larger show last year and had a really fun time even though I don't show. It's very educational to watch and listen during the judging. I saw breeds I didn't even know existed. And there were things for sale including CR's iron art, eggs, and live birds. Others can tell you more about the WWF show specifically.

The link is broken.

Oh this swells my heart !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE THE PIPES & DRUMS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And did you notice, even playing pipes and drums, NOT ONE man OUT of STEP! Some of the finest marching in the World those Scots - and not saying it 'cus I'm a McCoy either.

Trying hard to muster up enough energy & interest to start a new quilt for the coming baby grand daughter...................UGH...so hard to do in such a wee space~~~~~~~~
But I guess I better get on with it.
Been looking at patterns most of the day....now I have to choose & go Monday after fabric.

pettec63 & DH coming tomorrow with a tuck to donate to Einstein for reworking...transfer the Impala motor over to the truck...that ought to keep Einstein busy & out of my hair for the winter.

You want to help me choose a quilt pattern ?
I'll upload my choices & you guys PM me your choice.
Remember, it will be in pinks & lavenders.

OK...I'll try to upload the ones I like the best:


Argyl Square



Next, Beginner's Delight:




Next, Crossed Roads:



Full Quilt:



Next, Depression (from the depression):




Next, End of the Day:




Full quilt:





next, Kristen's:




Full quilt:





Next, Scrapbag:




Full Quilt:




Next, and last,
Wagon Tracks:



Full quilt:










So far, I am partial to Argyl, Kristen's, and Wagon Tracks..........(now I really like "Scrapbag" too !)..........each block will have a 2" border so blocks will not touch as some that are shown here.
Aryl, Crossed Roads and end of the day ( and scrapbag) would have to be done without a border to get the overall effect..................
Colors will be calicoes for baby girl.
Send me a PM & vote !

I wish there was a web site (or software) that allowed you to upload (or choose) a quilt block, and then enter colors/patterns.....I usually print the blocks out & get my color crayons out..................be easier with software, anyone know of such software ???????????????????

Maybe I need to spend a day at Joannes !!!!!!!!!!!!!

(it has been a few years)

Einstein has picked:

Beginner's Delight
or
Depression...with pink & lavender calicoes.
