What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

This morning, I beat Patrick up. Then I listened to the last 10 minutes of my audiobook. 

I pretty much played games till it was time to leave. We had to pick mom up to take her down to Kelso's Red Lobster. We were meeting my brother down there. Mom gave me 2 quilts that were done. Then I gave her the white-on-white fabric for Georgie. She was showing us the quilt she was working on. It's nice. 

We headed down to Kelso around 3 pm. Then we arrive around 3:48 pm. My brother and his wife ...

This morning, I was expecting Jo Pope to come over. She came with her quilt top to get backing and batting. She also took another panel to work on with some fabric. She's kicking butt, and her quilts are the hand quilted quilts we give out. 

After she left, I worked on cutting backing and batting for 2 quilt tops. I will deliver them to Colleen on Monday. We are doing pretty good with getting quilt tops in and out. 

Then I played my hour-long game. After that Patrick and I went downstair and got into the pantry area ...

Today, I was up and Patrick was waiting to go golfing. I hate it when he ends up waiting to go. I like having my mornings to myself sometimes. He didn't leave till about 10:30 am. 

I had my game to play at noon, so I played getting a few things done on my war game. I'm getting closer to upgrading but it takes forever. 

After Patrick left, I turned on my audiobook and played for a while. 

Mom stopped by for some fabric to work on some blocks for QOV. She stayed a short amount of ...

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, I had a few things I needed to do before going to moms, but Patrick was kind enough to do them for me. So, I headed to Colleen's to pick up 3 quilts that needed the bindings done. Then I stopped at Dutch Brothers for tea. Got one for mom as well. 

Arrived at moms to drop off 5 quilts that needed binding. She had 4 others that she needed to do as well. She sewed on one that was Georgie's, so she could do her own quilt. There was another one that was Georgie's ...

 This morning, Patrick was up early. I'm betting it's because he gets up early for golfing and now it's hard to break the habit. 

I heated up downstairs, thinking I would go down there. I played on my tablet for a while and Patrick watched his western shows. 

 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, 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, 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 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 ...

Patrick went golfing and I went downstairs to work on the quilt.

I thought I might be able to get it done today, but then I realized when my stomach decided to act up, I couldn't stay down there to finish it. But I did get a bit done. I should be able to finish it tomorrow. Then I will think about doing another one. I won't have 2 done for Colleen by Monday, but we did get 2 quilt tops from Val to get ready for quilting. 

The sides are sewn on it. I just realized I ...

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. 

Today is BE day. At least we meet at moms, so if no one comes I can spend time with her. Today we had 4 of us. Geralyn couldn't make it but will be there next week. 

I arrived after going to get my car washed and some tea. I got tea for mom as well. She had tea in her hand when I arrived. So, she didn't get to it till after they left. I worked on the baby block that needs to get done. I will leave it at moms after next week. 

 I have more ...

Debbie and I left for Yelm to go shopping for fabrics that will work with the panels. 

We left around 10 am and were in Yelm by 10:45 am. We shopped for a while getting as much fabric as we could for the panels. It cost a lot to get what we needed. We are starting to run out of fabric that was donated. I did get a lot of yardages as well. Trouble with that is that the fabrics where $15 a yard. So, for what we bought, it too a good amount of money. 

We stopped at ...

Today, wow, today. Let's see what I have been up to. Enough to keep me busy till about 4 pm today for sure. 

I went downstairs to work on the quilt that was on the wall. I finished the borders and got it ready to go to Colleen tomorrow. 

It is now done. I like how it turned out and is a lot prettier in real life. It turned out a lot better than I thought it would. 

Next, I worked on doing my backing and battings to get them ready for quilters. I had to wash the backings ...

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 ...

Today, I slept in. Patrick was up, but I didn't want to get up. 

I decided last night I would work on my panel quilts. So, I made sure I had the heater going down there. It was one of these foggy days, that make it cold all over. 

I wanted to do something different. I don't like sewing, but in this case, I needed to. I got some fabric out to go with the QOV panel we have. I had the "just right" color of blue, but not much. So, I cut the size I needed with ...

This morning, Patrick wasn't up to going golfing. His stomach was acting up. 

I headed to moms. I had to stop and drop off the round robin at the post office. Cost me about $8 to ship. Put it in the wrong envelope. lol Oh, well. 

As I was getting my drink at Dutch Brothers, mom called and I told her I was on my way. I arrived around 10 mins after 10 am. No one was there, but I knew Geralyn wasn't coming because her mother was in the hospital. She's a year older than mom ...

 Today, I had PT at 3 pm. So, first thing today, I cleaned. I got the kitchen cleaned and in order, vacuumed the house, and worked on laundry. 

Then I went out for a walk. Once all that was done, Patrick came home from golfing. I played on my tablet for a bit and then had to head over to the church to pick up 3 quilts that were ready. Once all that was done, I headed to moms. Dropped the 3 quilts off with her and Debbie's quilt to see what we could do. Mom was going to ...
