What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 This morning, Patrick went golfing and I just enjoyed the morning to myself - not doing anything! 

Then I went into town to go shopping at Safeway and deposit a check for our water group. Then I stopped to see Phil and return his dish. He had made a delicious carrot cake for Patrick last week. Stopped at Carl's Jr. for my lunch. Brought back a milkshake for Patrick and myself. I had a small one. But I think I paid for it because it has dairy. OR my body didn't care for the burger. Either way, my IBS ...

I know today isn't Friday, but it feels like it. I'm bored!! 

I cleaned up a bit while Patrick was off golfing. Then I cleaned the cat litter and called it done. I was able to play my game but got frustrated with the people I play with. They seem to stop playing when they think we are losing.  I listened to my audiobook today and finished one, starting another. 

I worked on my leg warmers. 

Good news is that it's done. I'm going to do another set but try and make them look a lot ...

This morning, I was up and putzing around. Didn't get much done, but we did leave around 10 am. We got to the casino around 11 am. 

The jackpot was over $5,000 on the game we play. We played a long time, then went to another machine, to go back and find someone won the prize. Patrick wasn't too happy about that. We play that game a lot and rarely win it. Think between the 2 of us, we have won it 3 times in over 10 years. lol - But don't forget, we stopped going to ...

I dropped off 2 quilt tops at Colleens and headed to moms. There were 5 of us. It was fun. Georgie and mom where working on QOV quilt stuff. I was working on my embroidery. I don't know why mom won't sit down and enjoy working on her applique instead of keeping busy with QOV stuff. 

 Today, I just played games in the morning. Wasn't in the mood to do much. I did get my floss and things for my cross stitching. So, I can work on it, if I can get my butt in gear. 

I checked the cinnamon rolls I did last night, to cook.

They raised really well! I used the cast iron skillet that I bought from Gerilyn. 

The came out awesome!! Really good too! 

Flipped them onto a plate and frosted them - not frosted here. They were so good! I will keep using the cast iron to make them!

We ...

   Today was Patrick's Birthday. He didn't want anything and said it's just another day to him. I'm not that way when it comes to Birthdays, but then he treats it the same. lol 

This morning, I wanted to get some stuff cleaned. I got started on laundry, that didn't get me far. 

I had the Roomba going in the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen/dining room. We then mopped the floor. I kept finding things that needed cleaning and was doing that. I think all morning was nothing but cleaning here and there. Like spring cleaning ...

 This morning, I enjoyed being able to sleep in. Had some trouble with my thumb last night. So, it was nice to finally get some sleep.

We left around 11:30am to head to Tacoma. We decided to get lunch at the Spaghetti Factory. We arrived around 1:30 pm. It was the first time in a long time that we were there. Must be about 10 months at least. It wasn't crowded, as I thought it would be. We sat and enjoyed our lunch. We had plenty of time because my appointment wasn't till about 4:30 ...

This morning, Patrick was up before me. He waited till about 10:30 am to go golfing. The weather is cold and the frost is out there in the mornings. The golf course doesn't want anyone out there before the frost is cleared. He ended up waiting till 11:30 am to go out. 

I enjoyed the morning by doing nothing important. I decided to listen to my book and enjoy the morning. So, I pulled out my crocheting and worked on the leg warmers. 

I finished the one leg, but don't care for the way it was ...

This morning, I was up after Patrick. He was waiting to go golfing. They were told it would be about 10 am before they could get out there. He texted me later to say it would be about 11 am. I just laughed. It was really cold today. I don't understand how they can go out in the weather!

I headed up the downstairs. I was going to do some work down there but ended up waiting a couple hours while I played my game. 

I first started with the 2" strip on the top and bottom to find ...

 This morning, Patrick went golfing and I just cleaned a few things. Then I played my games. I was listening to my audio book and didn't want to do anything else. BUT I did go out and walk 2 laps around the neighborhood. I will try and get back to making it a habit. 

Patrick got home and we had to head out to Olympia for his blood tests. I was waiting in the car for Sherry, since she was delivering the last quilt, we had up there. It's a panel, so I'm happy about that as ...

 This morning, I woke with a sinus headache. Not my favorite thing to wake up with. I thought last night when I went to bed it was a migraine, but NOPE it was a sinus headache! Lucky me!

I took the day easy. I didn't feel in the mood to do much, so I enjoyed the morning watching my shows I had recorded. Patrick came home when I was done with the first 3 and he watched the other 2 with me. Now, I'm caught up. 

After my tablet died with 10% energy left, I decided to sit ...

This morning, was not a good morning. Around 4 am, I woke to an upset stomach. Which meant I needed to get to the toilet fast! After about 3 times, I was feeling a lot better. I wonder if it was something from the potluck or just something I ate yesterday. 

I was able to sleep again, so I slept till about 9 am. Patrick went golfing and I stayed home. I got the Roomba working down the hall. I also got some laundry going. 

I waited for one of the quilters to drop of 2 quilt tops. They are ...

 This morning was for Brazilian Embroidery. At least I was looking forward to it. 

First things first, needed to go to the bank. I decided to go through the drive-thru because in the PAST, it was quick and easy. They have since changed the bank to a credit union. That's okay, but not when I go through the drive thru and I have to sit and wait while they hand over the deposit to get given to the gal in the lobby. Then, wait for it to come back. Which means, wait, wait, WAIT, okay, here you go. UGH ...

 This morning, I was trying to play my game but realized it was our day to clean. So, I got busy. 

I did laundry, cleaned the kitchen, and bathroom. Then I realized I needed to get my backing and batting done. I had to go and cut the backing and batting for our quilts. Then I had to wash the backings. I was surprised at how much batting I've used so far. I just opened the batting last week and it looks like we have used half of it up so far. I'm good with that. Means we ...

 Today, I slept in. I realized I have been sleeping till around 9 am anymore. Guess I don't want to get up. 

I decided to go downstairs and finish up the quilt top. 

It took most of the day. When I had it done, I noticed the size was not where I thought it was supposed to be. Then I realized, I missed a white border that was supposed to be there. Oh, well. It's a good size and I'm going to leave it at that. 

I made the mistake of putting the red on the wrong ...

Today, I was all set for the presentation. It's been almost 2 months since we had a presentation, and we all were looking forward to it. We have our meeting next week and the following week is our sew days. We will see what we can get done. 

This morning, I slept for a bit longer. Patrick was up and waiting on me. He wasn't in a hurry, but he was waiting for me to get up and get ready to go to the casino. 

We headed to the casino around 10:30 am. We played on their money for a while. Then we played on ours. We didn't spend the money we took, so we have more for next time. For the first time in a while we got tired of playing. So, we were home by 3 pm. I didn't mind not staying ...

We have now entered into the New Year! And I'm doing pretty good so far, let's see how long that lasts. 

Today, I got up shortly after Patrick headed out for golfing. Then I went downstairs to try and get another border on the quilt. 

I was able to get the 3 borders on - the one for the bottom is on the left. I will add that. Then I need to add a blue border on the last part. It will be about 5 or 6" to make it the size we need. I was listening to my ...

Today, another year has passed. We are now in 2026. Hopefully, life will be good and looking forward to having an awesome year ahead. 

Patrick went golfing while I stayed in bed. Then I was up and ready to get moving. I heated up the room downstairs, and I was ready to go. 

I want to have the 2 quilt tops done for Monday. I need to get moving on the panels. I received a pattern from QOV to use with our panels we ordered. I will do that next and it will give me another panel completed. Colleen wants ...

Yep, there are things to do. I should think about doing a resolution but yeah, that doesn't work. 

Today is New Years Eve. I think we are supposed to do something! I think we are supposed to stay up all night to bring in the New Year. I know everyone else is - but NOPE, not me. I pretty much did laundry and listened to my books. 

Patrick had golfing at 11:30 am today, so I was on my own. I did make a trip into town to see my son. Then came back home. Patrick's gift arrived ...
