What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

This morning I was up when Patrick came to tell me what time it was. He wasn't sure when I needed to get up. He was going to try to go golfing but his back wasn't quiet there yet. 

We had our embroidery meeting today.  Just Sandy and myself.  We went through the 2 bags of beads we ordered. Then we put the numbers on the bead tubes.

 This morning I was up early. Enjoyed a couple hours without Patrick. 

This morning I slept in. Felt good not to get up early.  Think I am needed the sleep lately.  I have even gone to bed earlier than usual. 

This morning I picked up some hot/cold pads for Patrick.  He hurt his back and is having trouble moving around. Then I picked Debbie up to go to our meeting.  

Our group had a good talk, I believe.  We went over a lot. It ended up being 2 1/2 hours. I think we can move forward in a good way. I need to do somethings to keep the group up on what's going on and they need to do more as well.

Came home to find my box of beads waiting for me. 

I went through the ...

This morning we woke to rain and wind. I woke to the wind in the middle of the night. 

I got the bread going for baking in the afternoon.  I also worked on my notes for tomorrow's meeting.  Think I am ready now but very nervous.  It is what it is.

Then I worked on my ornament. 

I now have both ornaments done. Made my day to get another "project" done. The gold holders will be coming in a few days. This is just for now, it may change later.

 This morning Patrick went golfing. Then I got started on some Quilts of Valor stuff. We have a meeting on Thursday and wanted to be organized. I got my outline and what I want to talk about done. Then I worked on getting the dishwasher going and vacuuming. Debbie called and Val texted, so was busy with that too. 

Then I pulled out my beading. Patrick turned the TV off and slept. I worked on my ornament, trying to get it done as well. 

I finished the top of the ornament. It went pretty fast considering. I had to get ...

This morning I started laundry and headed out walking. I am keep 7 laps so far. 

Came back in, playing my games then got my ornament out and worked on getting one done.

I had a hard time working on what beads will be used for the tassells. I even forgot where I put my box of the old jewelry beads. Took me awhile to find them.

 Patrick went golfing.  I got my 7 laps in on walking.  

Listened to and finished the book on audio.  Then watched 'Shetland' again today while working on my beading. 

Patrick got home and waited on me to go out to eat. We ate at Talking Cedars tonight.  Food was really good.  We are working were or what we will do for our 42nd Anniversary coming up. The went to Safeway and back home. 

Worked on the top part of the ornament.  I was starting to work on the next row and realized this wouldn't work. Ended up taking it ...

This morning I was up before Patrick went golfing.  First things before breakfast was getting the black-eyed peas cooking in the crackpot.  The getting my bread ready to cook later in the day.

After walking I decided to watch a show on Britbox. Shetland, which I had watched a few years back. I started from the beginning.  I think I only saw 2 seasons but not sure. 

I worked on my panel. I got this far and Debbie texted me. She wanted to know if I wanted to go to DB for coffee.  I said, 'sure.' She picked me up ...

 Today Patrick headed out for golfing.  I slept another hour before getting up. I got laundry going and walked my 7 laps. 

Came on in and vacuumed.  Just as I finished Patrick came home. 

He set us up with BritBox. So, instead of waiting the news, I watched 2 shows of 'Vera' while he napped.  Plus beaded.

Two thirds of the last panel is now done. I will work on finishing it tomorrow.  

We went from the election news to watching shows on BritBox. 

I am really concerned if Trump gets in. A convicted felon!!! OMG what is this country ...

 Patrick and I enjoyed sleeping in. 

Since I didn't do much of anything yesterday, I didn't bother posting. It was one of those days that I didn't feel like doing anything.  I did listen to my book on tape.  And I sat and played games.

This morning I got busy cleaning. I started laundry before walking 7 laps. I wanted to stop at 6 laps but told myself I needed this walk. 

Came in and got back to cleaning. Got the dishwasher unloaded. Then sat to play games and play my games. 

Finished one of two panels ...

This morning it was raining so Patrick didn't golfing. Almost wish he had.

I walked 4 lap with Patrick and 3 laps on my own. It started raining again in the last 2 laps. 

Got mad at Patrick.  I had my ear buds in after he left me. He even saw me put them in. Came in the house and he started talking. Stopped my ear buds to listen. Then he shut up. I waited and he didn't say anything.  Turned the buds back on and he started talking again. He got frustrated with me because I had ...

This morning Patrick went golfing.  I relaxed and the went walking.  It was a pretty good day to enjoy 7 laps around the neighborhood.  It was cold but I was listening to my books which made it go faster. 

After Patrick got home, I decided to watch my shows and bead. 

I finished the one and started the other. This is panel two. Once these are done, I have two more to do and then I can put the ornaments together. I am thinking i will just make two this year. 

My cousin called today.  We chatted about the Matheson ...

 Patrick and I slept in. It felt good to sleep in.  It was raining this morning. 

We watched a couple of old movies.  I baked Date Bars. They turned out really good.

Then I decided I needed to fix my bracelet.  

I fixed the problem and when I was done, realized I made it too big. It doesn't fit now.

Patrick went golfing and I cleaned the kitchen by putting clean dishes away. Emptied the dishwasher and got laundry going. Walked 6 laps.

Patrick got home and loadep the truck with garage. We drove into town for the dump. Then we went to get the truck washed. 

Came home and I worked on my bracelet.  I am almost finished with it. 

I put the snaps on, but need more room.

I need to take this out and add a string of beades so the bar will work in the circle.  At this point I will do that tomorrow.  Then it ...

Patrick was out the door for golfing when I finally got up. I had my list ready to go. Had breakfast and headed out the door. Since it was Monday,  I was ready for my list of things to do.

Headed out yo the grange, but had olplaces to be before and after.  I went to the bank, Safeway for coffee at Starbucks, post office and old Fullers store for cupcakes. I asked how much a really cute moose dessert was and was told $11 each. I about died! They used to have the best cakes and cupcakes but they ...

Woke this morning to rain. I played my game because we had a battle to do. 

After that was over, Patrick went to work on the well stuff. While he was gone I vacuumed.  Then I headed into our computer room. Needed to get a few things done.  I have two boxes ready for shipping.  I dried the wrinkles out of the backing fabric I washed. My list for stuff to do on Monday is long. 

Then I wanted to get back to my beading.  

I was able to get a bit more done. I do like the way this ...

 Patrick went golfing. I went with Debbie to check our stack of quilts. We spent the morning going over our quilts, cleaned up our area in the museum and got the pillowcases stacked by white or off white.  We put the raffle stuff together.  It worked out great. We then figured the 2 quilts that the Mossyrock group said they needed. Waiting for her to get back to us.  Picked up 3 quilt tops that were dropped off.

Came home and cut the backing and batting for all three. Debbie took one to quilt. Will get Colleen to do the ...

 This morning I was up and enjoying a few minutes playing before going to embroidery.  Sandy and I enjoyed a fun day working on our embroidery.  I worked on my Space Needle part. 

O have a few ideas how to improve this. The black darker lines are my embroidery work. The others are my guide lines. 

Sandy was braiding the floss. It's supposed to help with the threads getting tangled. I did add few of mine. I think I will do that with my threads as I add them to the taps. I need to remember to bring my ...
