What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 This morning started out pretty good. I started (yep - started) laundry. Then I got moving and vacuumed the house. It was in need after all. Then I sat down planning to work on my beading. BUT Sophie was having none of that and got in my lap. There she slept for 2 1/2 hours. I could have made her get up, but it felt nice and warm on my lap that I didn't want to move. lol

My phone buzzed around 3:30 and Patrick asked if I had my meeting today. Of course I did! Right in ...

 This morning I was up with Patrick. He headed off to golfing around 9:30 am since he would have to wait till around 10 am to go out. The frost hit last night, so they had to wait. I got a text around 11 saying he was still waiting. 

While I was walking, mom and Debbie called me. It was fun because I went through my walking so fast it didn't seem to bother me. I love to have someone to talk to while walking. Trouble is Ron is in CA right now. Debbie was picking me up ...

Today Patrick headed to golfing and I got up to get laundry started. 

While Patrick had to go to town, I decided to just enjoy the morning. Except I had to do my exercises and then head out to walk. I didn't do 7 rounds but did get in 6. Too lazy to go for the last one. I needed water! lol 

Then I decided to work on the beading. I seriously need to get this done! I'm not sure why I'm stalling but think it's that I'm getting tired of doing the same pattern ...

 This morning Patrick had to wait till 10 am to go golfing. The weather was too cold for them to go out. He came back home for a bit. I got ready and out the door before he went the second time. 

I headed to the grange. It was just Sandy and I. We had a great time chatting! We talked for a good hour before we started to work on our projects. I took my beading because I wanted to get this done. I'm still stalling, and I don't know why!! I really do need to finish ...

 Woke this morning thinking it was Sunday. When I finally got up, I was thinking of what I needed to do today. Not much. Since Sunday is cleaning day. I realized I didn't need to worry about cleaning today, since it was SATURDAY. 

Patrick worked out in the yard. I pretty much took the day off today and worked on my beading. 

This morning Patrick stayed home from golfing. He wanted to take a break. But then he told me he is golfing tomorrow - so not sure where "Break" comes in. 

He worked outside most of the day. Dropped leaves off at Phils. While he was doing that, I worked on my exercises and walking. After that, it was time to get on the computer to join my class. Since I was TA, I really didn't get to work on anything. I still have my piece in the drawer. I need to mark my work. One of the things I did ...

This morning I was up around 8 am. It felt good to get up at that time. I got in my exercises and walking. I also sat and enjoyed the morning. Debbie stopped by to drop off some money for the QOV. She had done a presentation at the Centralia Masonic Lodge last night. It went really well. 

Patrick arrived around the time Debbie was here. After she left, we headed out. Patrick wanted to spend the day out and about. We went back to the casino. AND actually, did really well. We were there 4 hours this time.

This morning I slept till 10 am! What a shock! I have been doing that more lately and for some reason when I was showering, I wondered if that is because my body is fighting off the cancer. Probably not, but it was a thought.  Then my mind wondered again on this. My biopsy "spot" hasn't quite healed. It's still there like a cut that doesn't want to heal. It is still a little tinder but not enough to worry about. AND of course, my mind wondered again - what if that biopsy put a hole in the ...

 Today was embroidery day. I had the fun part of getting coffee and tea for everyone. Then I arrived after Cindy and Gerilyn. Sandy E and Sandy V where after me. I pulled out my beading and got started. Cindy was excited from the time I arrived until halfway through. I told her a couple times to "tone it down." She can get excited. 

My older brother called to chat. He asked how things were going. I knew mom put him up to it. We chatted for a while and then I told him about my cancer. I also told ...

This morning both of us slept in. I think I have finally caught up on my sleep. lol 

We got to cleaning. I worked on the vacuuming and getting stuff put away. The house was having "piles" all over the place. I got tired of seeing them and put things away - YEP! I actually put them away and didn't start another pile in the area where they belonged! lol 

Then we sat to watch the TV. Seahawks were tied at the end of the game, so we got fed up and turned the TV. Patrick checked to see if ...

This morning I was getting the quilt and my box ready to take to the Veterans Day presentation at the museum. We didn't do our usual presentation, but we did do a presentation. We were honored to honor 5 veterans today. 

They were Thomas "Skip" Greenwell, Army Ryan Michael Foreman, Army, Steven "Skip" Craig, Coast Guard, Carl Stone, Army, Tabitha Hopp (guest speaker) Army. 

It was an awesome ceremony. We had most of our group there. 

Came home and played. First I got supper going since it was 4:30 pm when I got home. Then I sat to ...

 This morning started out with heading to Connie's to get the quilt I need for tomorrow's presentation. Then off to moms for our meeting. Of course, mom had to mention "your news" to everyone. I told her I really didn't want it spread. We had a disagreement about it, but I told her since she mentioned it to everyone, she might as well tell them. She said some of it, and I told the rest. I really didn't want that conversation. 

I worked on putting the label on the quilt for tomorrow. We now have 5 ...

This morning I slept in till 10 am. I needed it after the last 3 days of being up around 7 am. I love my sleep. lol - I would sleep better if I just didn't stay up till 11:30 pm! But, hay, I like to listen to my books and play games. 

After exercise and walking, Patrick was done with golfing. It was cold today! I don't know how he can stand golfing when it's that cold! I walked and got my relaxing in. I listen to the music on iPods. 

Came in and got lunch ...

 Today I slept in. I didn't feel like getting out of bed. When I did, I worked on my exercises and went out to walk. As I was walking, I received a text that my tests were in. At first, I thought it was for the biopsy. When I didn't get called, I thought it was for the regular paps test that still hasn't given the results yet. Then I realized it was the results of the biopsy. 

The nurse called about 5 mins after I realized it was the biopsy and didn't like what I ...

I had to have a biopsy on my right breast. They don't think it's cancer but just wanted to be sure. So, we waited. The longer I waited the more my brain was going off in different ways. The nurse told me ...

 Today I was happy to be able to have the day to myself. I slept in. Then mom called to see what I was doing today. Told her I was getting laundry going and cleaning up a bit, other than that I wasn't doing much, "Why?" She said she wanted to do something different, and could she come over after she gets her nails done. That didn't bother me, so I said, "Sounds good."

While I was waiting for mom to call back after her nails, Victoria, who is a family member, called. She wanted to tell me ...

 This morning Patrick went golfing, and I went to the grange to have embroidery. I arrived early and Gerilyn was already there. We got the place warmed up when Cindy arrived. Sandy said she would be running late so Cindy decided to get the drinks. As it turned out Sandy was only 10 minutes late. So, they both had drinks for us. I was thrilled to get 2 drinks, one hot and one cold. 

I decided to take my beading today. Wasn't in the mood for embroidery. I worked on my panel and finished it just as it was ...

sitting on the easel on hall table already!

light neutral scraps sewn improv fashion. Raw-edge applique bird, machine quilting, and hand beaded around the edge.... I call it Quiet Tweety-bird   and am entering it as my offering into Joy's Table Scraps for this month! 

I talked about this last week, that post is ( here...) including the inspiration for the bird

instead of batting I used peltex which is stiff but easily machine quilted. I put binding on the bottom edge so it can sit well on a mantel or easel. Then I used size 8 perle cotton to do ...

 Today started out with Patrick golfing and telling me it was 8 am. I got up and was out the door by 9 am. I had to stop at Connie's to get her the bags of scraps from that mess we had. I stopped and chatted with her. She then gave me 5 quilts that were done. She even did the binding on them. So, I now have 6 quilts that need labels. I will do that this week. First, I need to do more labels. Then I can get them on the 6 quilts. I will need to ...

 This morning we both slept in. I headed out for my 11 am walk with Ron. 

Then came in and pretty much wasted the day away with playing games and watching movies. We watched a Disney movie that was really good. A good Halloween movie. 

I did try to get something done today. lol
