What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Today I was out the door by 9 am. Patrick wasn't doing well. I was a little worried about leaving him. I had to stop at a couple places and then make it to the grange. Colleen had a quilt for me, then I had to stop at Micheals for some floss. When I was done, Geralyn called to say McD's made a mistake and gave us sweet tea and could I pick up the other. So, I did. 

We sat and chatted for a while. Alice stopped in. We gave her the sweet tea. 

This morning, I needed to get moving. I had to go to the bank, then see Phil, Colleen and then head to moms. I left around 9 am. First, I had to wait on the car in front of me at the bank. That person was doing business they should have gone into the bank for. After 10 minutes, I was able to leave for Phils. I dropped off some jam Patrick made and some fresh bread I made yesterday. Once we chatted, I went to Colleen's to drop off another quilt and then pick up a quilt. I ...

Today was one of those days. I was in the mood to do a lot of stitching. I even made some bread for supper today. 

This morning, I went downstairs to finish the quilt top that was on the floor. My next quilt is the one on the wall that Ann started. 

Since I didn't need to do much but get the borders done, I worked on that. I'm glad I cut the border last time, so I didn't have to have a lot of work to do. I added the stars and then put it all ...

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. 

Today Patrick went golfing. While he was golfing, I was doing trips in town. First, I took the batting and quilt to the church for Rita. Next to Safeway because I had 2 free coupons that expired today. Next trip was to Phil's to drop a few things off. And lastly a trip to PUD to pay the bill for Gunderson. 

Once all that was done, came home and set a message to everyone letting them know about tomorrow. 

Patrick came in the door as I finished up with my email. Then we headed out to the casino, where ...

Today, Patrick headed to play golf, and I went downstairs to work on the quilt on the floor. Mom came over about the time I was squaring up Georgie's blocks. 

Mom and I went through the stack of fabric for her to take some smaller pieces to cut for the variation 9-patch quilt. She likes that one and loves to do 9-patches. She also got some white and off-white fabric as well. I'm sure she will have a quilt in no time, just knowing her. 

I was thinking before she came that I would put a challenge to ...

Seems like I'm getting back to working on stuff. Geralyn called and asked if I wanted a ride to the grange. Told her I would, and we went to get iced tea at McD's. 

We then went to the grange and had a good visit, visiting all the way there and back too. She worked on her quilt, and I worked on my bonsai tree. 

Today, I was up and cleaning. Then I decided to go downstairs and work on the quilt top before we headed to the play in Centralia. 

I was able to get the center area almost done before we left at 1 pm. 

We went to Panda for supper. I got a birthday promotion that I used. We finally got back home around 5:30 pm.

I decided I wanted to keep the reds on one side and the blue on the other. So, when we got home, I went downstairs and worked on finishing this. First, I had to take ...

Today, of all days, was hot and awful!

I decided to get my tail moving and get some quilts done for QOV. It's time I got moving again and finished a couple tops. So, I headed downstairs. Before I did, I called Debbie to talk over all that is going on with our group. I filled her in on a few things and we talked about Kristi being head of Mossyrock. We are not going to do anything about it, nor will I help her after what she put me through and then called me a liar. So, it ...

This morning, I wanted to sleep in. I did for a bit, but not as much as I wanted to. 

I got to work on washing my Santa Claus. I have someone to frame it and need to get the size. I will work on that this week. 

Then I played my game for a bit. I had to get a few things done, and came into the computer room to send out 48 emails letting the veterans know when to expect receiving a quilt. I had done some yesterday and finished it up today. That takes a lot of ...

At 7:45 am, Geralyn picked me up. We headed to DB to get coffee and tea. Then went on to moms to take her up to Puyallup to the "Wooly Group" that does wool applique and quilting. I took along my embroidery for this trip. We all met at the library up there. It's the first Monday of the month. Geralyn goes there every month. I'm not interested in going every month. But since mom knows Jeanne Austin, she wants to go every month. 

Geralyn was working on her quilt there. It's a wool quilt that ...

Today, was a quiet day. Didn't have anything planned for, other than my game. I played it and then I went downstairs to work on getting Patrick a hot/cold bag like the one we had that needs to be replaced. I didn't realize how big I made it and had a heck of a time with the rice. I did get it done and kind of wish I had made it smaller. 

This morning, Debbie asked if I wanted to go to DB with her and go pick up the quilt from Colleen. I said sure. We got 75 extra points today at DB. So, I needed them. 

She picked me up and we headed out. Stopped at Colleen's (after DB), then to the museum for my check. We had a good chat with Colleen and the quilt was ready to give out. When we got to the museum, brother Chris called and wanted to talk about Lisa's passing. At least he called to tell me. I was being to ...

 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 ...

Patrick finally went golfing today. It was nice to have the morning to myself. I started laundry, but that was as far as it got. I just now realized it was in the wash and had to move it to the dryer. Then I cleaned the cat box. I worked on the quilts that I had left to label. All done before Patrick got home. 

This was Linda Nelson's quilt. I love the panel. I think I posted it yesterday, but I realized I didn't get the label on till today. 

This one was done by Karol Young ...

 This morning, I decided to try and get my labels sewn, so I could do the quilts in the bedroom. Once that's done, they will be going to the museum. 

I went downstairs and sewed up 4 labels. Once that was done, we left for the casino. We stopped and made a deposit, then dropped aspargus off at Phil's, then off to the casino. They sent us a promo for every Tuesday, so we get a gift, and we get money to play. We played on their money for quite awhile. It was fun. 

Came home and I ...

This morning, we went to the casino. We did pretty good and were there about 5 hours. We lost half of what we were taking to lose, so feel pretty good about that. 

The mountain was in view on the way home. I love it when it's this clear. This is Mt. Rainier, and Mt. St. Helen's is the one we see close to home. 

Came home and I was playing on my tablet. Mom called to say she and Nancy picked up a trunk full of material for our group and could they drop if off. I ...

This morning, I was up and ready to get moving. I had plans to go walking, clean the kitty litter, clean the kitchen, and do laundry. At the same time work on my Christmas beading project. 

Well, Heck No! That wasn't what the universe had planned for me! Instead, I got laundry going. Then was ready to go clean the cat box when I got my phone call from my cousin. 

Which turned out to be 3 hours of genealogy time. MATHESON family is HUGE!! I must have entered 200 names with him on the phone. BUT WAIT! There ...

This morning, I had to get a few things done before heading to moms. 

Then it was off to moms but first had to go to the church and drop off the backing for Linda, then went to the post office to drop off a certificate. Once all that was done, headed to moms. 

Got to moms to find her on her computer. She wanted me to order some clothes for her. I asked her why she didn't have Chris do that for her when they were there - wrong thing to say. So, I ended up ordering it for ...

 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 ...
