What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

This morning, I woke in pain again. It was a little better than yesterday, but still hard to walk first thing in the morning. I called Debbie and told her I wasn't going to be able to make it to the presentation. 

Patrick went golfing but checked on me from time to time. I got a couple things for Debbie, and she stopped to get them before heading to the museum. Donna called to let me know we had a veteran waiting for our 11 am presentation. She wanted to know what to do, since he was scheduled for ...

This morning, I had a Physical Therapy appointment. It went well, but it's not doing much good. Bob is going to send the report to my doctor and see what he wants to do going forward. I wasn't too thrilled it's not working as fast as I would like. Bob will tell him what he thinks and then we will go from there. Next week is my appointment with my doctor. 

Before going, I stopped to give Phil some veggies and then stopped at PUD to pay the electric bill for the water well. Once that was ...

 Today is Tuesday! Not Monday, Not Wednesday, but Tuesday! Time flies anymore. One minute I'm looking forward to the weekend and Tuesday arrived a lot faster than Monday does. UGH

I was up shortly after Patrick head out to golfing. I needed to be up for Val to stop by. She has another top for me. That will make it about 15 tops that need to be quilted. At this rate we will be doing great to start out the new year. 

After Val left Patrick came home. We had to run up to Olympia for his blood tests ...

 This morning, I could wait to leave for embroidery. I had a ton of stuff to do afterwards. 

Arrived at the grange to find Sandy there. I haven't chatted with her for a while. We had a good visit. She worked on one of her projects that she wanted to get done. I worked on my Seattle piece and started on the mountain. I didn't like it at first but just needed to keep going. I will work more on it later. No photo yet. 

After our meeting, I headed to moms. I was able to drop off ...

Today, I wanted to just enjoy the day. But I needed to get a few things done, which didn't give me much time to enjoy the day. 

First thing, I had to go into town and see Phil, then I was back home. Patrick was working with the pressor washer on the back patio area. 

I was downstairs working on getting some of the tops ready for quilting. Rita said they have 2 quilts she will drop off on Tuesday for me. I told her to let me know when they can do more. She gave me an "ok ...

 Today we slept in. I was surprised I could, since my hips were telling me otherwise. 

I had a few things to do on the computer. Next thing I know, I'm working on the family history. 

Patrick went golfing. I took the veggies that he had given me to take to moms. I had to go to physical therapy before the meeting. It ended up with me going to WinCo to get some tomatoes and I got some powered doughnuts (mini) for nibbling on. 

I showed Bob the stack of veggies I had. He asked if he could take it all. I said sure, it was going to mom, and the ladies always forget to take the stuff. He was being nice and left some of the veggies for the ladies. I took it to moms ...

Interesting day. We were up early for Patrick's 9 am physical therapy appointment. I went to moms, but she was off to the church to give out food to the needy. I played on her computer till I needed to go back and pick him up. I had taken 3 quilts to her for labels but realized one label was on good enough, so I left it alone and brought it home. 

We then went to the casino. We played for about 3 hours but it wasn't hitting. We have been playing off the money we won a ...

 Patrick was out the door before I was up. He went golfing again. I slept for another 30 mins, then got up. I realized I needed to get a few things done before I left for the dentist. 

First things first, I printed more labels for Val. She was due at 9:30 am. I printed labels that we needed as well. Then I went and worked on getting labels on the quilts in the back room. I had about 11 quilts that were here. I wanted to get them to the museum today. While I was marking the labels ...

Patrick was off golfing, and I was sleeping in. When I got up, I decided I wasn't in the mood to do anything. So, I started laundry. 

Patrick got home and made the comment that I said I would make the zucchini bread of grandmothers. I told him I could do it tomorrow, but NO, we were going to be gone tomorrow, and zucchini doesn't last long, so the sooner I do it the better. UGH He also reminded me about something else that needed to be done, so I had to do that first. Not my day ...

Patrick left early to go to his golf tournament. Nothing special, but he does it each year for the local Elk's. 

I enjoyed having the morning to myself. I actually decided to get some work done. First things first, I needed to finish the quilt for the Gala. 

After it was done, I realized I should have made the border a little lighter in color. The dark red doesn't help it like a lighter color would. I will give this to the church to work on for the Gala. 

Then I found all the 4.5" squares mom ...

This morning, Patrick went golfing and I left early for gas and a Starbucks drink. Then headed to the fairgrounds. 

I arrived at the fairgrounds early. I decided to pay the $6 to get in. I have a couple tickets away I shouldn't have and decided to just pay the $6. Nancy was just in front of me when I got there. We were early compared to everyone else. It was nice, as we had plenty of time to get ready. I pulled out my feather weight sewing machine to work on some 9-patches. 

Nancy did the ironing, and ...

This morning, Patrick had a few things to do, so I played for a bit before I had to head out to the fair. 

I left a little early to go to Safeway for something to eat later. Then I headed to the fair and was early. Chatted with Kathleen and waited for Geralyn and Sandy to show. I visited with mom and Georgie as well. They were manning the QOV booth. OMG those two are driving me crazy! They came up with a new pattern and talked about how to do it. The 9 patches are just going to ...

Patrick went golfing and I went to BE. First I had to stop at Phil's then head over to Colleen's to drop off some boxes and a couple of quilt tops to be quilted. I arrived just as she was pulling into her driveway. We chatted a while and then I headed off to McD's for iced tea. 

Arrived to find a semi truck unloading and reloading a huge farm equipment. 

Geralyn was there before me, but it was good to see her. She was working on her other quilt - the one I thought was in the ...

We left for the casino around 10 am. It was a fun day. We played for a while, but not as long as we were hoping. We left around 2 pm. We won some money and put it back in the games. I did get the plastic carrying case that was given out. It's big for a trip to the beach. The nice part about it, is that it's big enough for my quilts and even groceries. Heavy duty. So, it was a good pickup. 

Came home and I needed to get the other top done for tomorrow ...

 Actually, I think Shipwrecked is in Lacey, not Olympia.

I was up and out the door by a quarter to 9. I was heading to Sandy's. It was so good to see her again, and we planned this trip in May but never made it. Today we finally did!

Stopped to get drinks and Sandy gave me "shit" for putting a straw in her coffee. She was laughing so hard it was comical! Funny part is that I use a straw with my drinks from DBs. lol 

I was hooked! I found most of what I was looking for ...

Yep, back to having my plans messed with. I know better - and yet, I still try and plan things. 

I had physical therapy which took an hour. I got his business card to give to Carmen since she wanted his number. I then stopped at Nancy's think it would be a drop off and go. Yeah, NO! Debbie called asking where I was. Told her I was with Nancy. So, she said she would be there in a few minutes to drop off candy for the fair. She arrived, we chatted and then I had to figure out how ...

This morning, Patrick had an appointment with physical therapy. I tagged along so we could leave right after. I stayed with mom while he was gone for an hour. 

I showed mom the mistake in the quilt top, and she sewed it up. Then gave it to me for me to put the border on. 

I didn't get a photo but will when I get the border on it. One more top done. I have 2 quilt tops to add the border and finish the one on my floor. It feels good to have 3 quilts right there. But ...

I had to be at the physical therapists by 9 am today.  Patrick headed to go golfing and I was busy with getting up and getting ready. I arrived a little early. So, was messing with my phone. When I went in, he put me to my limits. Not fun but needed. We decided for me to stop wearing the brace for a week to see if the brace is part of the problem of not healing very fast. When I came out of the visit, mom was standing there. She wanted to make sure they got the message she ...
