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. 

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, I needed to be up by 9 am to play the war game. I played but didn't get much in points. I've been backing off that game lately. 

We watched some TV and then we shut it off. 

I'm not sure when I will be getting the next one ...

This morning, was physical therapy. I had it early, so I was back by noon. I stopped at moms to visit but she had a gal there for her Mary Kay makeup. They were playing. I didn't want to, and I left. 

Came home to find in the mailbox my Round Robin piece. It was what the gal who was before me was supposed to have done. She had to quit, so she sent me what she was getting. I decided to get to work on it, because it needs to go back in the mail in a weeks ...

This morning, Patrick went golfing and I went to the grange to meet up with my friends for embroidery. I had to stop at Safeway first, then Phils, then post office and last the PUD building. I put the bill in the box for overnight, thinking it was a holiday for them. The people behind me walked right in! Guess they were open today. Oh, well they will get the bill tomorrow then. Now worries. 

We had three of us today. I talked my head off. More than I usually do anyway. They asked about mom and that went into ...

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, 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. 

 Today is the last day of retreat. We got breakfast in the hotel. It was pretty good. They really had a spread for everyone. DON'T MISS DAY 1 BELOW!

Sandy V left about the same time we did. We headed to get coffee at Starbuck's and didn't realize we were 15 minutes late for the classes. When we arrived, they told us not to worry, they were going to start Q&A before we get started. They were running behind as well. 

Of course, I pulled out Blitz to work on. I had to take out the ...

Today I was off the tablet?!! 

I started the day off around 9 am. I actually got a good night's sleep and didn't get up till 9 am. I really wanted to sleep more but talked myself out of it. 

I got breakfast, and got some laundry in. Then I sat down with the bear I'm doing for the round robin. I need to get it in the mail asap since it's going to Canada and want to know how long it takes to get there. Which meant I needed to get it ready to go ...

 I'm a day behind, so I'm going to post twice with both days covered. 

Yesterday - 

Patrick dropped me off at Sandy's house at 6:30 am. We needed to be in Auburn, WA by 8 am - so we thought. It was actually 9 am. We ended up being early, so we sent a text asking if we were in the right place. They were on the way. The facility was awesome, but they had a manikin (sp) that looked real. It was a little spooky. So, we set up in our chairs to get to work. 

We ...

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 after Patrick. Trying to decide if I wanted to get up. lol 

When I did, I had a few things to do. First spent a bit playing my war game. Then I pulled out the pattern for my BE Round Robin. I needed to get it ready to mail and I needed to make up my mind what I wanted to do for the arms. At first, I thought I would do one that was the front material and one that was the back material. Then I changed my mind. 

This morning, Patrick was out the door for his golfing. I got up later and got ready for my physical therapy. 

Arrived early for my appointment. I was chatting with Diane from Spokane about stuff going on with QOV. I'm to the point that I'm tired of the BS and am about ready to disband the group. I will try and calm down and see what this year brings. If I don't get more of the same trouble, then I will continue, but if not, I may call it done. 

After my PT, I headed to Chehalis ...

 Today is Tuesday! Not Monday, Not Wednesday, but Tuesday! Time flies anymore. One minute I'm looking forward to the weekend and Tuesday arrived a lot faster than Monday does. UGH

I was up shortly after Patrick head out to golfing. I needed to be up for Val to stop by. She has another top for me. That will make it about 15 tops that need to be quilted. At this rate we will be doing great to start out the new year. 

After Val left Patrick came home. We had to run up to Olympia for his blood tests ...

 This morning, I could wait to leave for embroidery. I had a ton of stuff to do afterwards. 

Arrived at the grange to find Sandy there. I haven't chatted with her for a while. We had a good visit. She worked on one of her projects that she wanted to get done. I worked on my Seattle piece and started on the mountain. I didn't like it at first but just needed to keep going. I will work more on it later. No photo yet. 

After our meeting, I headed to moms. I was able to drop off ...

 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, Patrick had a few things to do, so I played for a bit before I had to head out to the fair. 

I left a little early to go to Safeway for something to eat later. Then I headed to the fair and was early. Chatted with Kathleen and waited for Geralyn and Sandy to show. I visited with mom and Georgie as well. They were manning the QOV booth. OMG those two are driving me crazy! They came up with a new pattern and talked about how to do it. The 9 patches are just going to ...

This morning, I had a lot of stuff to do before going to the meeting.  It was just Sandy V and I. But I had to stop at the church to pick up a quilt, then to the bank to drop off money. Post office was on the way, so I mailed Bryan's letters. Next to Dutch Brothers for a drink and then Staples to drop off my return to Amazon. 

Finally, to the grange. Sandy was there when I got there. We talked about Seminar and all the stuff she was able to give out as gifts. They ...

This morning, I was ready to go after getting a few things done. 

I thought about getting tea but decided not to. So, I arrived before everyone else at moms. We talked about all the squares and blocks she's getting ready for the group to work on. There must be enough blocks there to make about 6 quilts if not more. She's working on the red ones, which I need for the quilt downstairs. I'm going to take them to the meeting and see if we could work on putting the top together, ready to sew on ...
