What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 This morning I slept in. Not too late, but not 7 am. I was getting ready to go for a walk when Ron called to see if I wanted to walk today. I tried to go at 10 am but he said 11 am would be better. He was out there waiting for me at 5 to 11 am. We walked till around noon when Patrick got home. At least we got our 2 1/2 miles in. 

I gave Patrick a few things to deliver on his way into town. I had him pick up some bread to make ...

 This morning I was taking my time with my exercises. Patrick left for golfing so my day was mine. I enjoyed it. I was surprised that Patrick didn't get back home till around 2 pm. Good thing I started the stew for supper way before that. It needed to simmer a long time to make the meat tender. It turned out really well. I added small potatoes and added Patrick's carrots from the garden. Easy peasy!

When I finally felt like doing something, I started working on my last angel for set number 3. 

I started and finished ...

 This morning was BE meeting day. I arrived after Cindy. Then Sandy came in with my ice tea. Cindy bought us breakfast from McD's. Mine is always sausage biscuit (sp). We had a good meeting. Alice arrived and we chatted for awhile. 

I decided to work on my last set of angels for my third ornament. I was able to get this one done. I have one more to do and then I can start another. I think I'm going to do the gold wings again. I do like them. I will have to change a couple things ...

 This morning I didn't want to get up. I kept waking up last night because of my reflex. I ate around 7 yesterday and I know better. It still hasn't corrected itself since our vacation. 

I worked on my exercises and didn't see Ron out there till he was on his 5th loop. I joined him. After we got the last 2 loops done, I continued till I was at 6 loops - had to come in and hit the bathroom. lol So figured I could get away with not doing one more loop. 

I did some cleaning ...

 This morning we couldn't sleep in.  There was thunder this morning as we were leaving. Shame we had to miss it! 

I had a dermatology appointment. We headed out and the car let us know there was an accident on I-5. The good news is that it was cleared before we had to wait on it. We arrived in time for my appointment. It was the first time I saw this doctor. I really liked her! She measured my "sun spots." She's giving me some medication for my rosacea. I have to go back in 6 months to ...

This morning I wanted to just sleep in. We waited for Katt to call around 9:30 am. It was so good to hear from her! I do miss her! She's such a wonderful adult! I just wish at times she had someone to enjoy her live with. 

After that I took my time with my exercises. Then I decided I wanted to work on some genealogy. I was working on the White family. I didn't get much for my line, but I did get some that are off-shoots. I found a book on the Mayflower and started ...

 Today I woke with a headache and went back to sleep. I didn't get up till 9:30 am. Even then I wasn't feeling good. 

I got to work on the laundry off and on. Mostly laid down on the couch. Very little playing games today. It just wasn't in the card. Patrick and I both took an hour or more nap. 

I did work on the next panel. I was able to add to the dress. I didn't get much done. 

After supper I came to check on the information my daughter in law did ...

 Yesterday I was up before the crack of dawn! Then headed over to the Motel in town to meet up with the Twin Cities Rotary. They were very kind and are helping us with Quilts of Valor. We were gifted $1,000 which will go a long way. We were shocked and pleased at the same time!

Then we headed to Denny's for breakfast. There we sat and chatted. Debbie left early because she had to get home. Connie and I still had an hour and a half before we were to be at the fair. Our shift was ...

 This morning we were up. I wanted to go back to sleep but couldn't. So I DRAGGED myself out of bed. lol 

I was playing on the tablet and waiting to do my exercises. Patrick came in the house to let me know Ron was waiting for me to come and walk. I walked out there, and we got the full 7 laps in. I told him I would see him on Saturday since I have to be at the Lewis County Rotary meeting at 7 am. Then I have to be at the fair by 10 am. Connie ...

I finished the stitching on Words of Joy Tree and started adding the beads. I happened to have the called for beads left over from a Mill Hill kit I stitched a few years ago. I’m about a third of the way through the beading.

I believe this project came entirely from stash. I always keep extra white floss on hand, and I bought the fabric years ago. The pattern came from the book “A Cross Stitch Christmas” by Craftways circa 2012. The book was gifted to me several years ago.

This is the third pattern I’ve stitched ...

This morning we were up and Patrick noticed Ron out walking. So, I went to join him. He was just getting started. at 93 years old he does pretty good. We were only able to go 5 loops today. He was sweating and I gave him the water I had out by the post box just in case I needed it. That did help him. We stopped in the shade for awhile a couple times. Judy our other neighbor joined us and we walked together for one loop. I followed her to her house and then came home to make ...

 This morning Patrick went golfing. I just stayed home to enjoy the day. Yeah NOT! I went for a walk at 10 am when it was 72 degrees. I was able to get one loop in when Ron came out to try to walk 2 loops with me. He was having trouble with his back and just got back from the doctors. He's going to get x-rays soon. I then took one more loop and called it done. It was way to hot for me to be able to go for another loop. I don't do heat well ...

This morning when I got up, it was already 90 degrees. I headed out and went on my chores. First was the church, bank, Phil's dropping off cucumbers, Connie's and then to the bank to ask  for a new credit card since mine was "hacked." 

Dropped off the quilt that I had the backing too short on, to the church. Texted both Rita and Linda to let them know I dropped it off. Connie was doing good. We chatted about the fair and she got after me to not getting the notice asked for new members, done. I ...

 Today I was too tired to get up, so slept till 7:30 am. Patrick was up way before me. I must have kept him up snoring. There is so much growing out there that my allergies are kicking in. Including the itchy eyes, that I usually get away from having. 

I didn't feel like doing anything today. I knew I needed to do something today. I working on my laundry and have it pretty much caught up. Then I played games. That got me tired, and I took a nap for about an hour on the couch. Patrick ...

 I guess they had a special meeting today at moms. Then when they talked about meeting in 2 weeks they had a cow! Two of them said they had it all on their calendar and didn't want to change the days. We meet every 2 weeks. Mom couldn't meet next week because some of the family is in town. Even though they only told mom. She's leaving with my brother and his wife to Seattle on Friday night - go figure - reunion isn't till Sunday. AND NO, I'm not going. I have resigned to the fact ...

 This morning I was up at 7:30 am. it felt good to sleep for 11 hours! Patrick is still jet lagged and will probably hit the hay soon. 

I got laundry going and then went to work on my video for my bead work. I was having trouble working on it. While I was working on it, Sharon called. She let me know she was doing okay but having trouble finding everything. One of her friends bought her the hoop she needed to do embroidery on her machine because she couldn't find hers. They put a lot of ...

It has been such an interesting week for projects, with a lot of things in the works. I’ve been working on a Quilt of Valor on the frame, my Japanese art quilt in my chair doing handwork, and crafting in between. We’ve had wildlife visits, too. I’ve been cooking up a storm testing recipes for the upcoming Mountain State Fair, so My Sweet Babboo has been eating pretty well. The highlight of the week was a visit by a pretty female hummingbird, perhaps the mate of the male I was able to photograph recently. It was a ...

 The last three days we have been enjoying family time without wifi/internet. Being on the lake in a kayak is a lot of fun. I always get wet. I spent a lot of time beading and doing embroidery. 

I was able to get all the greenery done. I really enjoyed working on this. Last night I finished the flowers. 

Yesterday we were cleaning up the cabin and coming back to my in laws. We got back at noon. Chris and I stopped for ice cream. After we got back,  I just sat and enjoyed being with family. I worked ...

  This morning Patrick and Dennis went golfing at 7 am. While they were gone we pretty much stayed around the cabin. It rained today. There was some thunderstorms but it wasn't a down pour. I did miss that.

While Patrick was gone, I beaded.

I was able to get this one done before I had to join every one for corn hole. I won a game and lost another. 

After supper we all went to the country store for ice cream.  Chris and I played dominoes while the rest watched a movie. It was a busy day. While everyone ...

 Corner Lake was cloudy today. We didn't go out on the lake till after lunch. Patrick and I went out in the kayaks. 

In the morning I worked on my embroidery.  I keep getting bad pictures because I forget to take photos in the day time. The lights around here is dull.

I will try to use the daylight to get better pictures. I have the bigger stem to work on. I may start the flowers yet. 

Played dominoes with Chris. She won 4 of the 7 games. lol We had a great time playing. 

I started the 4th ...
