What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 This morning, I was cleaning up. Had things to do and get done. 

Once all that was done, I played games. Watched TV and played games. Wasn't in the mood to do much till around 2 pm. 

Then I pulled out my cross stitching.

I worked on the upper left area. Now I'm coming back down. I had to take out a good part of the area in the top left where the green is. I had the wrong color there. So, I ripped it out and put it back in. 

I was having fun with this; I ...

This morning, I headed downstairs to get ready for our group of quilters. I was getting more of the pillowcases cut. 

Around 10 am the gals started coming in. We had at least seven of us. Each had something to do. Val and Colleen worked on sewing the pillowcases. Mary, Debbie and I worked on pinning them for them to sew. Then mom worked on ripping stuff out when needed. Lynn helped with ironing. We had a good process going. We took a break at about noon for lunch then we got back into the pillowcases. They started leaving around ...

 This morning, I wanted to enjoy a few minutes of time to myself. Then I had to get a few things done for the meeting at the museum. 

I left around 10:10 am and stopped at the post office. I was able to get the package out in the mail. Then I went to Dutch Brothers. 

Next stop was the museum for our meeting. A few were there before I got there. I was a little late, considering I wanted to be there around 10;30 am. It was a good meeting. We ate and then talked about what ...

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 was up and ready for quilters. I ended up waiting a little longer than I expected. We had a couple of them that couldn't make it, but we did get a new person. So, all in all it was a good time. 

Only 3 of them were sewing, the other 3 of us were cutting and ironing. 

This morning, I enjoyed sleeping in a bit. Not a lot but a bit. 

Yesterday was a long day with traveling in the airplane and airports. It's not my favorite thing to do, but it went really well. We did have to be de-iced before we left Louisville, because it was starting to snow. Then we waited a bit before we could take off. We were about 30 minutes late. Once we were on our way, it was nice. 

We arrived at DFW airport. OMG! That place is worse than any airport I have been in. I thought Houston ...

This morning, I really didn't do much. I was waiting till it was time to leave for the museum. We had a presentation for veterans today. 

Debbie and I arrived first, and the others where right behind us. I was surprised that so many of the group arrived early. This group of ours is so wonderful! They work well together, and things are going so smoothly. I can't believe how nice it is to do these presentations without drama!

They were Brandon Planert, Army, Laurel Boyd Maddox, Army, Cragg Parks, Navy, James Radford Inabnit, Marine Corps, Steven Keeling ...

 Today, I got ready for the presentation. Debbie called and needed a ride, so I picked her up. Then we went to Dutch Brothers for our drinks. Headed to the museum and it looked like there was stuff going on. We didn't mess with the "drama" as we were there for the veterans. 

Marilyn came down from Tacoma to help honor our veterans. She helped present the quilts. It was awesome. 

Kenneth Proske, Kathleen Powell (sister to Kenneth) are on the left. I can't remember the next 4 and the one on the end, but they were Lester ...

 Today, I needed to get moving early. I ended up working on our Facebook page this morning. I was surprised to find several people are now on the FB page. I just worked on it last night and this morning. at least I added the veterans that were awarded a quilt today. 

They were - not in order - 

David Beeck, Army Michael Farkas, Navy Steven Macomber, Army Dennis Canfield, Air Force James Pederson, Army Ronald Swihart, Navy Vonlee McDougall, Army Thomas Hicker, Navy

We had a great presentation. Everything was calm and it felt good to have a presentation go smoothly ...

 Today we had our meeting and then Saturday we will have our presentation for our veterans. I need to work on getting another FB page going for our group. I will try and work on that tomorrow or this weekend. I seem to have a ton of stuff to do. At least some of the scraps went out the door and will be worked on by members. We still have more, but those quilts will help when they are done. I may end up doing a couple of them. I need to get one done for the museum to auction ...

Yesterday when I was ready to post my blog, we lost power. It was out for 6 hours due to a truck hitting the power pole. 

So, yesterday started out with me going to Dutch Brothers for tea and coffee. We had a presentation that went very well. The ones we honored were a lot of fun. We did have one guy that didn't show though. He will hopefully be there in July. 

 This morning, Patrick was off to golfing. I played my game - War of Worlds and we won. Then I got ready to leave. We had our presentation today. 

I called Debbie and said I was going to Panda for lunch. Asked her if she wanted to join me. She did, so I ended up waiting for her to get there. Then we sat and had lunch. Once that was done, I gave her the quilts to take to the museum while I went to get our coffee/tea. 

I arrived to find Debbie putting the quilts away. We pulled the ...

 Today was presentation day. I was ready and out the door. I had to go to the post office for Connie. I also needed to do a couple other things. Then I was at the museum. 

It was awesome and calm this time. It felt good to not have tension today. I did get a message from Kaiser just before the presentation and waited to check it out. 

We had 3 of the 4 veterans show. William Schwall didn't show and we had both his quilts for him. We will have to try and get him next month. We ...

This morning, I was up early. Just couldn't sleep well. I did sleep till about 6 am but after that was useless. 

I headed over to the museum to get our presentation done. We needed to be done by 2 pm for Smiley's Birthday party. Our volunteer ended up doing 10 veterans for the first time. He did an awesome job. 

This morning, I was getting ready to head to the museum for our presentation. At the time I left, it started to snow. We were at the museum around 11:15 am. It was coming down fast. 

This morning, I was up and not ready for the day to start. I did get moving though because I needed to get to the museum for our presentation. 

First, I needed to get my rugs from the bathroom into the washing machine, since I got water on the one while in the shower. Then I started putting the ornaments on the tree away. Patrick had asked the other day, and I wasn't in the mood to keep it up, since I hadn't been in the spirit last year. I also got busy on getting the stuff ready ...

Today I needed to get a few Christmas cards out. I still need to do a few more. As I was writing my cousin Cindy's card, she sent me a text wishing us a Merry Christmas.  Too funny how we tend to do that with each other.

This morning I picked up some hot/cold pads for Patrick.  He hurt his back and is having trouble moving around. Then I picked Debbie up to go to our meeting.  

Our group had a good talk, I believe.  We went over a lot. It ended up being 2 1/2 hours. I think we can move forward in a good way. I need to do somethings to keep the group up on what's going on and they need to do more as well.

Came home to find my box of beads waiting for me. 

I went through the ...

I got up, took my walk around the neighborhood.  Was able to get 5 laps in before I need to pick Debbie up. We had an appointment with Chip and Sam at 10 am. We stopped first to pick up our drinks.  

 Patrick was gone when I got up. He went golfing.  

I headed to the museum for our presentation.  We had a good turn out with 3 active duty members getting their quilts.  The other active duty gentleman couldn't make it. So we did the guy that was given to Mt Rainier to award. Good thing Cindy was there. She even help present pins to Vietnam Veterans.
