Small Ball in quilting

Do any of you watch baseball or know anything about it? My son played baseball all through high school and college so we learned a LOT (more than I thought I needed to know!) about baseball. There's a concept called "small ball" which basically means that you can win, not by hitting home runs, but by just being happy with small, incremental advances. Like bunts. or walks.  SO, the point of this is that I'm going to get my ocean waves quilt done (aiming for king size) in small increments! So today I added ONE more row...oh, you say, what's the big deal? Well, it's now 8x8 (64 down,  meaning 57 left, which is LESS than half).  SEE, small ball!! vbg.

I promised I'd pick a winner for my Licorice Allsorts quilt pattern based on requests for it: so tonight's big winner is:

pcflamingo!!!

Please email me your address so I can mail it off to you. 

This is the quilt I made from that pattern, on my floor in Sunriver, with Bonnie figuring out an easier way to piece it! No, Bonnie does not come with the quilt pattern! VBG

And I told you that I went to see my darling grandbaby on my way back from Sunriver on Friday. Never a visit goes by that I don't snap some photos of him.  Today's picture is him playing with a toy which we call Buzz Lightyear. It's a Toy Story 3 ride-along with a little compartment in the seat. I have a few sets of "keys" in there for him to play with.  In fact, my car was SO packed when I took Bonnie to the airport, that Buzz Lightyear kept falling over onto her, and the keys kept falling out! VBG  Anyway, here's Ryan playing with the keys. He put them in, then took them out. Only about 25 times.  Oh, and did I tell you that his favorite expression is, "THIIIIIIS?" Especially around trash cans!! 

Have a great Monday. I have my very old and dear bookgroup friends coming to my house for dinner tomorrow night so I'll be busy and probably won't do any sewing.
