What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Today, I was up earlier than usual. I had to meet Kelsey to get a quilt and give her another one. We met at the museum. 

Came home and Patrick was looking better. But he was still in bed. Then I sat and worked on some beading. I took apart the tapestry piece that had seed beads and not delica beads. I'm going to do that design in delica beads later. 

Then after about 3 hours of that, I worked on my ornaments again. 

This morning, Patrick wasn't doing very well. I tried to keep quiet and let him sleep. He spent most of the day in bed. 

When he was up and in the living room, I moved to the computer room. I wanted to learn how to make the earrings that are on YouTube.  I liked them and thought I could make a pair. 

First, I tried with Delica 11/0 beads. She was working it with seed beads 11/0. They are different from each other. I didn't like the way this one was coming out. It didn't ...

 Today I was up early, because I wanted to play my war game. I had 2 today. Patrick was golfing so I could play. At 9 am I played for an hour with friends. 

Patrick got home just as I finished up my journal about living with cancer. I figure it's easier to write it down then it is to share on a blog. I had thoughts that needed to be on paper and not in my head. 

Then I played waiting to hear from Phil. When I did, he said he didn't need me. So, Patrick and ...

 Today, I slept in because I could. We didn't have embroidery and probably won't for a while. I did get the mail that I didn't get 2 weeks ago. It all finally arrived. One was from BDEIG stating we are in trouble. Our membership has dropped to below 200 members, and they need help from all of us. I agree but wonder in a way if it's a little late. I tried to tell them when I was on the board that they needed to work on newer designs and different pattern other than flowers. It ...

This morning, I decided to head into town and get a few things done today. We didn't have our BE meeting because Geralyn was at her Wool group. Looks like things are getting harder with us meeting. I have had to cancel all last month and now it looks like we will be canceling part of this month as well. Oh, well. 

I was in town, stopped to see Phil while I was in town. I got some stuff at Safeway, and the chicken looked good and fresh, so I bought some. I had to keep it warm - in ...

I'm getting tired of this cough! I'm getting better, but it's driving me crazy! 

I slept in today, because I could. lol I went to check on the game I was playing and found I was getting points for just sitting in the towers. I'm okay with that because I didn't want to play the war game today. I did play my Seeker's Note game. I'm still trying to get it done. 

I really haven't been in the mood to do anything lately. Not sure if it's just not feeling good ...

This morning, I had an appointment in Olympia. Sheryl and I worked out getting together for her group to quilt 10 of our quilts. She also gave me 8 quilts from her stuff. I told her to feel free and take any of the quilts I brought for their group. They aren't the prettiest, but they will do in a pinch. She is getting those quilted for us. 

I had my appointment and I'm comfortable with what the surgeon said. I was asking about the fluid in my breast that was where the cancer was. It's common ...

Today, I was playing war games twice. We didn't win either one. lol 

Then I enjoyed watching TV while Patrick was golfing. I was able to get a few shows in before he got home. 

Then he went outside and worked in the garden. After that, he slept on the swing. He needs his naps during the day. lol 

I was able to work on my beading. 

I received my Round Robin today. Erin Ferre sent this. I need to think about what I want to add. We can add anything we want. It will take me a bit ...

This morning, I was up earlier than usual. Patrick stayed home. It's his "day off" for golfing. He will be back at it tomorrow. 

I spent the morning downstairs, cutting backing and batting for 7 quilts. I have been washing the backing all day. Since I wash them in hot water, it takes about 2 hours to get them washed. So, I put 2 or 3 of the same color in at once. Had 3 loads today. I will be taking 10 of them up to Olympia next week. I need to do another one or two. I'm ...

 Today was BE day. It ended up that the others were busy, so we cancelled yet another. I believe this is 3 x this month. 

So, I slept in while Patrick went golfing. I got up and played for a bit. Then I got laundry going. Only one load. I believe it's still in the dryer. lol - Guess I will "fluff" it up tomorrow and then fold the clothes. 

We didn't do much today. Patrick and I watched some TV. Then we watched genealogy. I worked on my genealogy before the show. I also got a message from ...

This morning, Patrick went to his PT appointment, and I was visiting with mom. I got to see the photos of my great nephew. He's adorable! He's also a year old now. 

I was checking out mom's applique she did for Bob's grandchild. I love what she did. 

Had a hard night last night. My hip and back were tight all night. Took me a while to even move over. When I got up this morning, it wasn't fun. 

I heated up my back for a bit. That seems to help. I will try and fix it for tomorrow. We need to get up by 5:45 am to leave around 6 am to meet at Sandy's house. We will leave from there and be in Auburn in time for our 8 am class start time. Then I'm thinking around noon we will go to ...

This morning, I woke in pain again. It was a little better than yesterday, but still hard to walk first thing in the morning. I called Debbie and told her I wasn't going to be able to make it to the presentation. 

Patrick went golfing but checked on me from time to time. I got a couple things for Debbie, and she stopped to get them before heading to the museum. Donna called to let me know we had a veteran waiting for our 11 am presentation. She wanted to know what to do, since he was scheduled for ...

This morning, I needed to be at the museum by 10:15 am. Debbie and I were giving a veteran a quilt that is shy and doesn't want the attention. We worked hard to get this set up and finally arrived. When we got there, Jim wasn't there yet. His neighbor called to see if he was coming and told us he was on the way. 

We went into Sam's office, and she called him in to talk to him about his grandson. Then she told him she had him there for a reason. Chip, Mike Cheek ...

This morning, I was up and ready to go. Patrick went golfing early. They are changing the times when they golf this week. Decided it's getting too cold to go so early in the morning. lol 

I got a few things done before Patrick got home. I chatted with Debbie, and I even made dessert. Patrick has been wanting it for a while, and I was stalling. lol 

Then I sat down to watch some BritBox and Netflix while Patrick slept. I was able to work on my beading and get a lot done. 

I needed to get started ...

Today, I was up earlier than I have been getting up. Patrick was already up. 

I played on the tablet for a while, then I watched 3 episodes with Patrick of "Death in Paradise." 

While I was watching TV and/or playing on my tablet, I was actually getting some beading done. 

I finished the last two panels. They are on the left. I am now ready to work on this year's ornaments. This is the one that Phil and Emil didn't get. I wanted them to have all the ones I have. That way when Kat is ...

This morning, Patrick went golfing and I wanted to sleep all morning. I finally got up around 9 am. 

I cleaned up a bit. Needed to get the dishwasher unloaded, cat litter taken care of and some laundry in. Then I ate lunch because I needed to leave as soon as Patrick got in. He was running late. We headed up there and I was at my appointment on time. I was about to sit down when I was called into the office. Good news is I don't have to go back for another year. And my colonoscopy isn ...

Today was the first day in over a week that I was able to just stay home. Patrick went golfing and I listened to one audiobook after another. I was playing my games and trying to do laundry. I realized I only got 2 loads in because my mind was on my game. 

After Patrick came home and went back to Olympia for his finger appointment, I started to work on my beading. 

I finished the second set of panels and started the next set. I made a few errors on the second set, but I'm going to leave ...

 It was embroidery day. I was off and out the door by 9:30 am. I forgot to take the boxes with me to take to Colleen. I will try and do that tomorrow. 

Arrived to see Geralyn already there. Sandy V didn't come because she had a cold or Covid and she wasn't sure which. Think she said she was going to the doctors if she could get in. Geralyn and I enjoyed a bit before more came in. Mom joined us and we were asking about Geralyn's mother, since she's been in and out ...

This morning, we headed out to Safeway to pick up a few things. I remember being a checker and the gal we were in line for - WAS SLOW!! I would have gone through 4 people by the time she had one person done! She didn't seem to care either. We must have waited in line over 10 minutes for her to do the 2 people in front of us. When I was a cashier, if I saw people waiting in line, I picked up my checking speed. This gal was slow all the way. Not in any hurry to ...
