What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Today, was one of those days where it poured! Rained all day! They are expecting flooding, so it's going to be interesting the next couple of days. 

I headed out to Georgie's house for embroidery. I pulled out my Round Robin piece out to work on. Yep, I forgot I had it and needed to finish it. 

Today, I wanted to get moving more on the ornaments. I also needed to get some laundry done, but I only had time for two loads. I did clean a few things that we always do on Sundays. 

Then it was 1:00 pm and I needed to get out the door. We thought we would be giving out a quilt at the WWII dinner. It was an awesome presentation! But, nope, we didn't have someone to give the quilt ...

This morning started out pretty good. When I finally got moving, Debbie asked me to go to Dutch Brothers for a drink. I said sure. So, we headed to DB before we worked on her quilt for her grandson. Came home, with a drink for Patrick and then headed downstairs to figure out what she needed for the quilt. 

Once she left, we had a few packages arriving. So, I think we are ready for the holidays now. 

Then I sat down at the table and finished the panel for the ornaments. Once that was done, I pulled out all ...

Patrick didn't go golfing today. So, it was nice to sleep till 8 am. 

Got up and then tried to get ready to go do what I needed to today. I left the house around 9:30 am. First to Safeway, then to moms. I stayed about an hour with mom. Put out her wreath on the door. Then put her supplies away that she bought from Costco. Once all that was done, I picked up one quilt from mom. 

Next stop was Colleens, and I spend about another hour there. We chatted a while. She gave me two ...

Today, I slept for a bit, just didn't want to get up, so I laid there awhile. It's interesting how I don't want to get out of bed but when I do, I feel better. 

I got moving on the laundry but that didn't go far today. I got on the computer and set up a new email for my QOV group. I was getting tired of trying to figure out what was personal and what was QOV. This way, I have it all in one place. I sent out 20 emails to let veterans know ...

Today, I was able to sleep a little bit, but was surprised Patrick was up since we usually sleep in on Saturdays. Not today. Even I didn't sleep as late as I usually do. 

I played my games, then Debbie came over to show me her quilt with her grandson's photos. It's really cool. Then I was back on the games. 

After supper I called mom again. When I tried earlier in the morning, she wasn't up. It took till 10:30 before she was up. She said she didn't sleep very well last night ...

Today, I was up early and out the door. I got breakfast and then headed to Walgreens for mom's meds. Then I picked up tea for both of us. They were sweet, they gave me a free drink for mom since they knew she has pneumonia. (I'm learning how to spell that, since I've typed it so much! lol) 

I stayed and chatted with mom, then I came home. I needed to get home since Phil was coming today. He arrived about an hour after I got home. It was a very nice visit. I tried to ...

This morning, I was all ready to go to the grange for the last time to visit with Gerilyn. About an hour before I needed to leave, she called to say she has strep throat. So, I ended up cancelling the meeting. She's looking forward to meeting at moms, and it will make it easier for her mother to join us as well. 

Since Patrick wasn't going golfing (would start till 10 am because of the cold weather) and I couldn't go to the meeting, we headed up to Olympia for our blood tests. I had to ...

We did the usual Sunday cleaning. Then we headed to the casino. We go the 8x8 electric fry pan. I don't know if I could use it and may ask Katt if she wants it. I was hoping for the crock pot, but that was the one I missed. lol 

We did pretty good but didn't stay as long as before. We weren't as lucky today as the last 2 times. 

Stopped at Arby's for supper. We hadn't been there in probably over a year. He wanted to go to see if the salt was ...

This morning, I was getting a few things ready for when Sandy E and her sister Jeannette were coming. As I was getting ready, Debbie wanted to know if I would be home, and mom called to see if I could take the bolt cardboard, she got from Debbie McGinnis yesterday. I said sure. 

So, first to show was Debbie and we talked about the quilt she wanted to make for the "therapy quilt" to give to her daughter. She has enough photos of her grandson to make a quilt for his brother as well. So, we chatted about what ...

This morning, Patrick left for golfing, and I slept a little longer.  When I did get up, I decided to get the laundry done. It's been a while since I have done it. At least it wasn't that bad. 

While I was working on the laundry and cleaning up the kitchen, I was playing my game. I was able to get myself up in the 300's for the challenge. Trouble is, it's going on for another 3 days. I just want to be up there for the prizes. 

Then I decided I could do both, so ...

This morning, I had to get moving. Was at moms by 9:20 am. We then headed up to Olympia. She needed to have her hearing aids checked. She was having trouble and wanted to get them check. We arrived at Costco, and they took her hearing aids to clean them and then check them. There was a lot of "stuff" in the hearing aids, so it just needed cleaned. We shopped while we waited. I needed to pick up a few things that we missed last week. Both mom and I found some crab!! So, we bought 2 containers ...

This morning, Patrick and I went to the casino (because I wanted my gift), and I got the grill that they were giving away. I wanted it, so made Patrick go today instead of Tuesday since he wasn't able to get the gift then. I'm still not sure which gift was given last week, could be the crock pot or the diamond electric skillet. I will see which one I get next week and will know. Like Patrick said, they are cheap, but they do work. Some of the stuff we get is really nice, others are crap ...

 Yesterday was spent in the airplane. We went from Portland OR to Huston Texas and then to Louisville KY. We ended the day in a hot tub at my sister-in-laws. 

I got about 5 hours sleep. Patrick and the damn night light. 

We were up and planned to go to the Louisville Slugger museum.  We toured their factory.  I really enjoyed it, but Patrick didn't seem to care.

We had our picture taken in front of the huge baseball bat at the museum.  

I found it fun to see. Then I had a call from the Veterans Memorial Museum ...

This morning, I was up early to get to play my war game. I was playing another part later in the day but decided I wasn't going to do it. So, I got out of it. I get tired of being killed off. lol 

I needed to get the kits ready for Colleen, since she was coming over to get them. Patrick suggested we work the bolts out of the pantry and put them out where I can get to them - let alone see them. So, we got it set up. 

This morning, I was up to play the war game at 9am. Then I got busy, vacuuming, mopping the floor, doing laundry among other things. 

Then when I sit down to listen to my book and start beading, Patrick came home from golfing. He played pretty good today considering it was 40 degrees. 

As I continued to mess with the laundry, I beaded. 

I was able to get the first one done. Five more to go. I really do like working on this. I will probably do this one again and wait on the other half later. 

Mom called when ...

 Today, we were up earlier than usual to get moving. We headed to New Balance shoes at the outlet stores. I needed to get new shoes to see if that was part of my problem with not healing on my ankle. I ended up buying 2 pairs of shoes because there was a sale on the shoes, plus buy one get one. I ended up with 2 pairs of shoes for $116. which is about what I paid for my Skeeters a couple years ago. I know, we are not supposed to wear the same shoes for 2 or 3 ...

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 ...
