What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 This morning, I was up and out the door. I had a couple things I needed to do. I even went to get some pen refills at Staples to find out I got the wrong one. PLUS, one of my favorite pens couldn't be opened to put a replacement in it. So, that didn't help. I may need to get another one tomorrow or wait till the next time I go. 

Went to moms and there were 6 of us. Ethel didn't make it. She's been going through a few things lately, and since she's ...

 I headed over to moms today. I didn't take anything or do anything. My surgery stitches were sore today. I showed mom the surgery area. She was surprised at how big the stitches were. I told her it's just sore from time to time. Plus the nipple is really sore when I brush across it. That has to be because of those shorts. It was funny how a couple of the gals down play the surgery. It's a quick and easy surgery but the waiting to heal is the hard part. I'm still not 100% ready ...

 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 ...

 Today I was out the door early. I needed to get stamps and then get drinks. I called the museum and asked Kylee and Chip what they wanted to drink. Then I got the three of us a drink. I also got the car washed. 

I arrived an hour earlier than usual at the museum. We were to be downstairs and they were getting stuff ready for us. I asked if we could be outside this time. So, they were kind enough to get us set up outside. We had a beautiful day and we thought that would be fun ...

 Today we were up early and off to pick mom up. We stopped at Starbucks on the way. 

Arrived around 9 am and met the women we were to work with. There was Karen, Karen, Karen and others. lol Karen was the gal that called asking us to judge, Karen 2 helped mom with her quilts and Karen 3 was recording the information as we were going. 

They had some awesome quilts. I had more blues then red or white. I gave 1 white ribbon to someone. I gave about 6 reds. A lot of quilters didn't have the ...

Today started out with waiting on Debbie to arrive. Then we were off to moms. First we dropped off a quilt at Grace Church. Then we headed to Dutch Brothers for "our fix" which is her coffee and my tea. Then we headed to Fuller's to get her peppermint "shot" for her coffee. Once that was done, we were off to moms. We arrived before Connie and one other. 

Our meeting was to discuss the fair. We need to see if everyone is in agreement to give Mossyrock QOV a day or two at the fair. We ended up ...

 This morning I was up at 5:45 am to be out the door by 6:30 am. We had a presentation to do with the Twin Cities Rotary Club. It was fun to see what they do. We - Debbie, Connie and I - were there early and trying to figure out where we were meeting. It was comical. They were very nice. We gave our speech and answered a lot of questions. Then they passed the bucket. We got a good amount of money for QOV. We are looking good now. I'm not sweating worrying over where I get ...

 This morning I had a few things to do before going to moms. I had to stop at the bank and then Connie's. Dropped off my quilt top but realized the backing was still in the dryer! So, I'll have to drop it off on Monday. Mom called me at 10 am to see if I was coming. Told her I was on the bridge and would be there in 5 mins. 

I arrived to only 2 people already there. There was one quilt done that I put in the back of the car. Then Hildi arrived when ...

We were having a meeting this morning at 9 am. Chip was a little late to let us in. No worries. I had to leave early to go to Safeway and then get our drinks at Dutch Brothers. I was the first one there, then Smiley arrived. We chatted for awhile before Debbie and Connie came. Once they arrived, everyone started coming in one after the other. Mom and Nancy were running a little late. 

We got our meeting going. Letting everyone know we were short on money for our group. Then my mother ended up talking to mom on ...

This morning I was up and getting stuff ready to go to Connie. I had 5 bags and a tub to take to her. I also had the batting that I got from the shop that I gave her. told her she can do whatever she wanted with it. Of course I had to be at her place by 9:30 am, I was there by 9:15 am and dropped everything off. Next stop was gas. We had 80 cents off per gal of gas, so I paid $3.49 for gas. It's more than most states pay ...

This morning I was up and working on my exercises. Then I was out the door heading to moms. I dropped off the box of thread that came yesterday. I ended up with a double order. So, I called Superior threads and they gave me a return label for the second box. We were laughing at how weird that was. I was only charged for one set of threads. 

Arrived at moms before everyone else. Mom had a bowl of almonds in water! She doesn't like the skins on almonds. Nancy told her they soak the almonds in water ...

 This morning I stopped at the coffee shop and got some Chai teas for mom and me. I was the first one there. Then I ended up working on moms computer to get a few things fixed. Then she wanted to get her TV to get Britbox back on it. We had a heck of a time trying to get it to work for her. I left and then she called to tell me she fixed it. Mom has Acorn, Britbox, Netflets and something else. She's been spending money on the TV shows. lol 

I worked on the binding ...

 Before I start my blog, I would like to thank Anne Kirby for her kind words on my blog. I don't see the posts till I clean up my "social" and "Promotions" on my email. They don't seem to come straight to my email. I will pay more attention - more often. Thank you for you kind words regarding Patrick. We take each day as it goes. The blood tests today seem to be better than they have been in the past - figures crossed and prayers going. 

Today started out to be getting ready to head to moms. I ...

Then it was off to moms. I was second there, but by the time I was ready to sit, all the chairs were gone. There were 7 of us. Nancy and Hildi are going to the applique retreat on Tuesday. They will be gone a week ...

 This morning it was meeting day at Nancy's. Mom's still not feeling up to it. I did pick her up and take her over there. She only stayed about an hour and a half. Then got tired and asked me to take her home. I came back for lunch. We had a salad, bread, and dessert. 

I was busy working on the binding of one of our quilts. 

I was able to get 2 sides done while there. I am down to the last side. Nancy had one of the quilts done, which I brought home. It needs ...

 This morning was off to Connie's before moms. I dropped off my top and picked up 4 more quilts. Then went to moms. Everyone had already beat me there. So, I ended up in a dinning chair off to the side. Not too crazy about being in a full house. I thought about leaving but mom wanted me to get pizza for everyone. I was able to get about 1/2 a side done on the quilt that I'm stitching the binding on. Then I had to leave to Papa Murphy's for 2 medium pizza's. I ...

Today was quilting at moms. We had about 7 of us. Edith came for a visit as well. She's not doing  very well. She's the one that lived up the hill from me before she moved to Stillwaters Estates. 

I worked on the binding of Val's dad's quilt. 

 I realized this morning I hadn't done my blog last night. Not sure why. It was a day at moms for quilting. I took the quilts that I have for stitching down bindings. I also had to get QOV "volunteer logs" entered into the computer to share with Ricardo. He's helping us determine how long it takes to make a quilt for each veteran. Since so many of us do the quilts, each person has a different time that it takes to do blocks, tops and more. 

Came home and pretty much just enjoyed the rest of the ...

 This morning I needed to get off to moms. I was early. Only because I was worried about the traffic on I-5. I was the first to arrive. Mom invited another Nancy to the group. We had 9 of us today and were missing about 2 or 3 of the group. I told mom if it gets too busy I will stop coming or just leave. I don't like it "crowded." She didn't like that comment and and said I would have to pick another day to spend time together. I told her the last time we did ...

 This morning I loaded the car with all the quilts from the back room. Then I went to the bank to collect the money for bowling. Brought that back home. Then headed to moms. 

Arrived before most everyone. We had 8 people there today. It was a good meeting day. Kathleen came and I showed her all her quilts that mom has done. She is the one that bastes moms quilt for her. Mom quilted on her quilt. I left 2  quilts at moms. Michele took one for stitching the binding. I also picked up several blocks that Georgie finished ...
