What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

This morning, I was running late. I picked up some tea for both of us. Mom was happy with that. I took in my grab bag for when I am at doctor appointments. I took our quilt with the bear and gave it to mom. We worked on what to quilt around the border. She wants to put it in the quilt show come September. We worked it out, and she's going to get it ready to quilt after she's finished with the veggie cats quilt. It's really cute!

Then we sat and I crocheted while she ...

This morning, I was ready for our meeting. I had to vacuum downstairs so we could have a clean area to have the meeting. I usually don't do much down there. I can be lazy about vacuuming and dusting downstairs. 

Our meeting went well. I have a few things I have to do and get answers back to the people working on the projects. I also have to get moving on the wreaths they want for the Bazaar. Not what I'm happy about, but the group wants to do this. I passed out some wire wreaths for them ...

This morning, Patrick was up before me. He was sitting in the living room. I thought he was going golfing but remembered he said he had to go to Olympia instead for blood work. 

He left and I went downstairs to get to work on the wreath scraps to work on the wreaths. Cutting takes the longest on this. 

I was able to cut some but not near what we need. It's going to be interesting how we get all this done. I will try, but dang! 

Plus, I need to spend time on the computer doing research for ...

This morning, I worked on the laundry. Getting all the loads I didn't get over the last week and running out of clothes. I still have a couple loads to do, but at least I was able to do quite a bit today. I ran the Roomba when Debbie called to head to the museum. 

Debbie picked me up to head over to the museum to talk to Donna. I took over the 3 quilts I had as well. We stopped at DB and I got another $15 gift card, since I forgot the one I have. 

Arrived at ...

This morning, I was out the door and off to moms. We are back to having it at moms. Geralyn was there with Georgie and Bonnie. So, five of us enjoyed each other's company.  Geralyn was working on her hedgehog that is so cute!

 Today I had a little more time before heading to the garage sale. I stopped and got some tea. 

I arrived around 9:20 am and the doors were already open. Colleen was already there. It wasn't a busy day. It was so slow that I wondered when 5 pm would come around. It was Colleen and I for a while. Then Debbie arrived around 3:30 and mom arrived around 4 pm. I called Patrick to come get the TV stand because it didn't go. The TV went finally. We sold a few bigger items but not ...

This morning, I was up around 7:30 am to leave by 8:30 am. I thought our garage sale was at 9 am today but found out it wasn't till 10 am. So, I was a good hour and some early. 

All the vendors were there, so at 9:25 am we decided to open the doors. We had a good run of stuff going out the door. Then when Debbie showed up, she brought stuff she had and we put that out. A lot of stuff was being sold at cheap prices. We sold the guitar, trunk ...

 This morning, I left around 9 am for my dentist appointment. I had a cleaning appointment, and it went well. I do like my new dentist office. 

Then I headed over to the garage sale and found one of the big items was marked really cheap and sold. So, I couldn't fix the price. lol I did fix the price on the guitar as it was too cheap also. We sold some stuff even before we started. I brought home the money to put in the box. It's ready to go for tomorrow. 

I baked the bread I ...

This morning, Patrick and I loaded up the truck. Then we dropped off 2 quilts at the church. Next was at Phil's to pick up the stuff he had to go to the sale. 

We arrived at the grange to unload. It was A LOT! And they told us when we got there, we couldn't take any more stuff. So, I needed to send an SOS to stop bringing stuff for the sale. We unloaded everything. There is a lot of stuff, and I just hope we get rid of most if not all of it! 

It's ...

Today, I didn't want to get up. I figure I'm still trying to get rid of whatever it is I have. Trouble is, I talk like a frog and everything else is fine. So, who knows what this is. 

Patrick was golfing, so I played for a bit. When he got home, we left for the casino. We started out with some money to play on. Of course. that didn't last long. We played on our money and when we finally found a machine to play on, it kept us going for a while. It was nice ...

 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, we decided to go to the casino. We didn't have any plans, and Patrick hasn't golfed for a couple of days. He really doesn't like the cold weather. So, this gave him something to do. We played first with their money and then ours. I ran into Bev and her husband Robert. Robert used to work at the museum but lately he's cut back there. We chatted; it was good to see them both. They apparently go on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. If Patrick wasn't golfing, chances are we would go that often ...

Today, I was sleeping in. I didn't want to get up. 9 am was the time I decided to move! Patrick was already in the living room. 

We left around 11:15 am. Patrick dropped me off at the Elder Center and he went on to the casino to play. I didn't think about it, but I could have dropped him off and then came over. 

We had lunch with the Elders. Then we did the presentation for 2 veterans. It was awesome! We were holding up the quilt forever while the first veteran talked about being a ...

This morning, I was up early. Had breakfast and played for a bit. Then I got all my stuff ready for the day. Loaded the car and headed to DB for my tea. It was a long line today. But I was only about 5 minutes late. Gerilyn was right behind me as was Sandy. 

We had 5 of us and enjoyed it! I even ordered 4 of the "Welcome" pieces that we all want to work on. It's a training piece, but hopefully we will get it done as a group. 

I worked on my rose. 

I did ...

This morning, I was up around 8 am to play our game. I wanted to play in the kingdom fight. So, while a friend was playing my one account, and it started at 4 am, I got up to play my other account. Both went well from what I can tell. It was only my 4th time playing it. 

Then I had to get ready for the play. Patrick and I signed up for the playhouse in Centralia. 

This playhouse is small but fun. It's been going since the 1950's and a few movie/TV stars have played ...

This morning, both Patrick and I slept in. It felt good. 

Then Debbie and I met up at the museum to figure out what quilts will be used for Saturday and which 2 we will use for Tuesday. We had a time trying to figure out which ones to use. We talked about Tuesday and worked on Saturday's presentations. We have 2 on Tuesday at the Chehalis Tribe and then 10 more on Saturday with the active-duty veterans. It will be fun. I got the quilt ready to go to the museum that was here at the house. 

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 ...

Not only the week, but the months are going fast. I feel like I sneezed and January was gone. 

Patrick was golfing in the fog. That had to be interesting. It was cold today, but I actually got a few things done. 

I needed to get 2 quilt tops set with backing and batting. I used up the roll of batting and a couple of the backings. I'm going to ask the group what colors they want for backing and see what I can get. I am ordering regular rolls of fabric that are solid colors. That will help ...

Patrick went golfing and Kaiser woke me up at 8:30 am to let me know we needed to move my appointment because my density test wasn't scheduled yet and I needed that before my appointment. So, I had to call and get that scheduled and then call him back. While I waited, I called OBGYN to get an appointment in April - and they don't have that schedule available yet. 

So, for a couple hours this morning, I was on the phone. Then I went walking. I got 3 laps in today, which was awesome. I have to ...

Patrick was off golfing. I was sleeping in. Then when I got up, I started doing laundry. Amazing how much laundry one does for 2 people. Go figure! I was also doing sheets and towels, but still!

I went walking around the neighborhood and I got in 3 laps instead of 2. I'm improving! It was nice to get out and walk even when the weather was a little cold. 

It was time to put everyone's names on the quilts that I need to take to the museum. I have 10 finished quilts in my back room. At ...
