What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Hard to get ready for embroidery.  As I was getting ready, I decided to take my crocheting with me. Before getting there I needed to stop at the post office.  Then met up with Sandy and Gerilyn. 

We had a good visit today. Sandy was a little quiet but we got a lot done.

Finished one potholder and after getting home, I finished another one. This is the second one. 

This morning Patrick went golfing and I went to embroidery.  I stopped off at the post office to find it closed. I told someone going in and he said, "Oh. Columbus Day." So. I headed to embroidery. 

I worked on my Seattle piece. Decided to add color to my Space Needle.  I think it looks better. Still have a lot to do. 

Tried to stop at Copy Depot but they were closed as well.  So came on home.

Helped Patrick get some butternut squash in the freezer as well as the berry pie I made. Of course Patrick had 2 ...

This morning we cleaned the house.  

Then I worked on my potholder.  Didn't get very far as we need to head to the play. I had to finish laundry when we got back. First we headed to Phil's, then to Safeway in Centralia.  I wanted the mini croissants. Of course they didn't have any. I will go back to Costco for them. I did get 6, but they are a good $1 a piece. Cheaper at Costco. 

We went to the play, "Arsenic and Old Lace." It was awesome! I kept laughing! It was well done. They ...

Was up early today. I was hoping to sleep in, but no such luck. Never fails. 

This morning Patrick went golfing and I went to Nancy's after my game play. 

It was crowded at Nancy's with 7 of us. I took my crocheting but forgot to take the squash Patrick had ready for me. 

I finished one more potholder and started another.  This one is a little small. 

Came home,  cleaned up the computer room. Looked up ink stamps for our flyers. Put beads away and logged them in my listing's. 

We left for the theater to see " The Wild Robot." Loved it. The theater is getting run down. They didn't have ...

 This morning, got 6 laps with Ron around the neighborhood.  I was in two battles with my game between walking.

Patrick wasn't having a good day, so I pretty much worked on my projects. 

I was able to get three more potholder done.  They went pretty fast. I was even enjoying my book on tape. I have a total of 12 done so far. Guess they will end up as Christmas gifts.

 Patrick was up early today. They were planning to golfing but the rain got in the way, so they called it off. 

Teri texted me the garage was open for ume to do laundry.  Patrick took the container over with 2 loads. I got started. Bringing the clothes back and dry them in my dryer.  Good thing since it was raining pretty hard. Ended up doing 3 loads. 

I worked on my potholder. 

We went out to eat in Olympia.  I couldn't believe Patrick driving. For the first time he scared the crap out of me!! I asked what ...

This morning,  Patrick beat me by getting up before me. He had a list of things to do. I didn't feel like going along. He picked up our clothes from mom. She was sweet enough to do some laundry for us. Then he got gas, so I had to claim it in the app. 

I pretty much enjoyed listening to my book and crocheting. 

I finished the one from yesterday and finished another.  Then started a third. The 2 cones I ordered came in. Was going to make one from that but decided to just finish these. Amazing how ...

This morning Patrick went golfing.  I went walking early with Ron so I could play "gates" in my game. Then I got to work on cleaning around the house.

Once that was done, I sat down to work on my crocheting. 

I finished the one from yesterday and completed another one. 

 This morning Patrick went golfing and I enjoyed the morning by myself.  Ron and I walked 5 laps. He offered me his treddle (sp) sewing machine.  When I looked at it, I decided I didn't want it. It has a lot of damage to the cabinet. 

Patrick made it home and we had lunch before heading to Olympia.  He had blood tests to do. Then we headed to Costco.  

We picked up stuff for mom, Nancy and Phillip. When we dropped off moms stuff, I took some laundry because the washer isn't working STILL. Patrick got the part ...

Today Patrick woke me before he headed out for golfing. I got up to get moving to our meeting.  Sandy V and Sandy were there with me. Took some veggies too. 

I finished my whale. Then I finished the potholder I started last night. 

Then started another one. They go fast and break up my getting tired of the same thing. 

Went to get 2 quilts but mistook Connie for Colleen.  Left Connie's laughing and went to Colleen's to get 2 quilts. Then went to pick up a quilt from Debbie while having coffee at Dutch Brothers.  

Finally ...

This morning I was out walking with Ron. We got 6 laps in. He's getting ready to leave for CA. He has another place down there with his friends.  He doesn't have a lot of friends up here any more but he loves his house.

A very interesting thing happened in 2023, I started crocheting again. It wasn’t even my idea. My daughter wanted me to make a baby blanket for my granddaughter. Oh, and I find it odd that they now refer to afghans as blankets. When did that happen and why did they ever call them afghans anyway?

Well, let me get back on track here. My daughter saw this daisy baby blanket on Pinterest and asked me to make it. I hesitated since I hadn’t crocheted since I started quilting 25 years earlier. But I do usually give in to ...

 HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! 

Good Morning Quilters!

 Good Morning Quilters!

Not much quilting going on here this week.  It’s been perfect weather in Michigan all week, and I’ve planted mums, bought a big pumpkin for the front porch, and canned some more tomatoes.  Fall has overtaken me, and I love it!  We live about a mile from an orchard that features homemade pumpkin spice donuts in the fall, and I may have overindulged on them too.  It’s all good!

The only crafty things I have to show you are some pink sparkly yarn princess crowns I am making for four little girls that are ...

Good Morning Quilters!  if you recall, two weeks ago I blogged that I had started a baby blanket for a future, unknown Great Grandchild. Picture of the start of it:   Blog post here  I found the matching yarn skein, “Soft White”  to finish the project and took it with us on the drive to the wedding last week.  I worked on it all the way to Delaware and all the way back to Michigan!  Here is the
