What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

This morning, I woke to not feeling well. I went back to sleep and woke at 9:30 am realizing I needed to get moving. I called Georgie and told her I wouldn't be coming. Found out Bonnie couldn't make it either, so got a hold of Gerilyn and cancelled. I'm just hoping I'm not getting the crap that is going around. 

So, I played on my tablet and just took the day off. Patrick got in after golfing and was surprised I actually did what I said I would do - stay home. 

We both took ...

The Project Quilting Challenge for this week was about something from another era. Well, instead of looking backwards, I decided to go forward. I’d had an idea for a BTS-themed denim jacket for my sister. My sister is a huge BTS fan and we are lucky enough to have gotten tickets to see them later this spring. I’ve been loving the denim jackets I’ve seen with quilted insets and wanted to create BTS’s logo on a jacket. I pieced the logo and then quilted it directly to the jacket back with a layer of thin batting ...

This morning, we decided to go to the casino. We didn't have any plans, and Patrick hasn't golfed for a couple of days. He really doesn't like the cold weather. So, this gave him something to do. We played first with their money and then ours. I ran into Bev and her husband Robert. Robert used to work at the museum but lately he's cut back there. We chatted; it was good to see them both. They apparently go on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. If Patrick wasn't golfing, chances are we would go that often ...

This morning, I needed to get stuff ready and head out the door. I had to redo the certificate and get it ready for the male. Then I had to get the quilts in the house done with labels and get them ready to go to the museum. I had to stitch down one of the labels, but that wasn't hard. I was hoping to be out the door by 10:05 am but had to wait till 10:30 am. 

First stop was at Jo's to pick up the panel quilt. Then it was off to the ...

Today, I was sleeping in. I didn't want to get up. 9 am was the time I decided to move! Patrick was already in the living room. 

We left around 11:15 am. Patrick dropped me off at the Elder Center and he went on to the casino to play. I didn't think about it, but I could have dropped him off and then came over. 

We had lunch with the Elders. Then we did the presentation for 2 veterans. It was awesome! We were holding up the quilt forever while the first veteran talked about being a ...

This morning, I was up early. Had breakfast and played for a bit. Then I got all my stuff ready for the day. Loaded the car and headed to DB for my tea. It was a long line today. But I was only about 5 minutes late. Gerilyn was right behind me as was Sandy. 

We had 5 of us and enjoyed it! I even ordered 4 of the "Welcome" pieces that we all want to work on. It's a training piece, but hopefully we will get it done as a group. 

I worked on my rose. 

I did ...

This morning, I was up around 8 am to play our game. I wanted to play in the kingdom fight. So, while a friend was playing my one account, and it started at 4 am, I got up to play my other account. Both went well from what I can tell. It was only my 4th time playing it. 

Then I had to get ready for the play. Patrick and I signed up for the playhouse in Centralia. 

This playhouse is small but fun. It's been going since the 1950's and a few movie/TV stars have played ...

This morning, both Patrick and I slept in. It felt good. 

Then Debbie and I met up at the museum to figure out what quilts will be used for Saturday and which 2 we will use for Tuesday. We had a time trying to figure out which ones to use. We talked about Tuesday and worked on Saturday's presentations. We have 2 on Tuesday at the Chehalis Tribe and then 10 more on Saturday with the active-duty veterans. It will be fun. I got the quilt ready to go to the museum that was here at the house. 

I ...

This morning, I had the morning to myself. It was awesome. I played my games. Then I went for my walk. Patrick came back from golfing when I was done. 

We headed out to the casino. I wanted to get the chocolates that they were giving out - to those who spend way too much money gambling. lol It was a heart tin of about 18 pieces of chocolate. We played on the money we get every Friday and then spent some of the money we won about two weeks ago. So, we are still playing on the money we won ...

This morning, Patrick was waiting to go out to go golfing. The weather wouldn't let them go till after 10 am. Which gave me some time to myself. 

I pretty much listened to my audiobook, cleaned the litter box, and ran the vacuum. Then I sat and played my game. When the battery was low, I traded it in for my cross stitching. 

I worked on the left side. I was able to get here, then ended up taking out some of the stitches, because I wasn't on track. Once I got myself back on track of what ...

This morning, I was up around 8 am. Wanted to get out of bed before Patrick so he could make the bed. lol Too lazy to do it today. 

I got my 3 laps in on my walk, plus some. Then I sat and worked on my cross stitching before we had to head up to Olympia. 

This morning, I slept in. Then I ordered backing and batting for our group. 

I played my games for a bit and then Patrick wanted to watch a movie. We watched "A Ghost in My House" ? I think that's the name. It was on Netflix. It was really good too. 

While that was going on, I decided to pull out my cross stitch. 

I was able to get it back on track. The steps are showing up again. I was able to get a lot done. I'm having some issues with that color I had trouble with before ...

I am going to have to find something other than "Embroidery Day" for Monday's schedule. I can't seem to think of titles very well. I will work on it. 

It was a day at moms. I stopped and got her a tea as well as myself. She wanted to talk about quilts, but Georgie and I worked on our embroidery. So, she finally started working on her applique. Georgie isn't happy with her piece, but I think it looks fine. 

As for me, I'm not that thrilled with mine, but I will work on fixing it ...

It was pretty busy this morning with cleaning and getting my Christmas Star Bread done. I was able to get a lot done. 

Then it was time to just sit and relax. So, I did. I watched the Seahawk's play and I stitched. 

I was able to work on this. I got a lot done. The right side is slowly getting the steps that I like working on. I did a lot of the white/light green area done. It was fun, but doing the same color for a long time does get old. lol 

When I got tired ...

This morning, Patrick went golfing and I got some laundry in. Then I just enjoyed the morning. He got home just as I was ready to go walking. I was able to get my walk in and then it was time to pick mom up. 

We left at noon to get mom and then head up to Olympia. I had my bone density test, while they waited out in the car. Guess I was in there about 45 minutes, and I thought it was less than that. My test only took about 10 minutes. So, I joined them and we ...

Not only the week, but the months are going fast. I feel like I sneezed and January was gone. 

Patrick was golfing in the fog. That had to be interesting. It was cold today, but I actually got a few things done. 

I needed to get 2 quilt tops set with backing and batting. I used up the roll of batting and a couple of the backings. I'm going to ask the group what colors they want for backing and see what I can get. I am ordering regular rolls of fabric that are solid colors. That will help ...

Patrick went golfing and Kaiser woke me up at 8:30 am to let me know we needed to move my appointment because my density test wasn't scheduled yet and I needed that before my appointment. So, I had to call and get that scheduled and then call him back. While I waited, I called OBGYN to get an appointment in April - and they don't have that schedule available yet. 

So, for a couple hours this morning, I was on the phone. Then I went walking. I got 3 laps in today, which was awesome. I have to ...

 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 ...
