What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

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 ...

 Got up and played for a bit. Then I was doing my exercises, when Bryan called. We must have been on the phone for 3 hours working on the TRUE family. He had information I did not know. I also went to find the Indian War journal that our great grandfather wrote. I sent him a copy but that was yesterday. So, I read the letter to my mother. Then I found a family tree on our great great grandfather. I will have to double check the information because I know I don't have it all in the program ...

We were both up early this morning. He went golfing and I headed to my physical therapy appointment. 

First things first, I had to stop at Phil's to drop off Kale for him. Then I headed to moms to get her referral for physical therapy. Once I grabbed that, I went to my appointment. We are still trying to figure out why I'm so sore and it's really not letting up. We walked around the building so I could tell him where it hurts. Then we came back in and worked on my foot/leg. I'm ...

This morning, Patrick went to his PT appointment. I was up thinking I had a game to play at 9 am but found out it's tomorrow. So, I played on my tablet for a bit and waited for Patrick. 

When he got home, we headed out to the casino. We get extra money on Wednesdays. So, we headed out. We were there about 4-5 hours. All we won, went back into the machines. We did have a good time. Then we decided to have an early dinner by having a French Dip for supper. It was really good. AND ...

This morning, I was up with Patrick. He went golfing and I waited about an hour before leaving for Physical Therapy. Mom called me while I was there but didn't answer it. She seems to know when to call. 

 I went to her place after and dropped off some material that she wanted for cutting more 4.5" squares. OMG!! I don't know what I can do with all those squares. There must be enough for 20 quilts right now. AND I can't get her to put a quilt together!! She just wants to cut the fabric ...

Patrick was off to golfing again today. I couldn't get myself up. Seems to be my story when I sleep past 7 am. 

Got up and got a few things done. Cleaned the litter box, vacuumed the house, and mopped the kitchen floor. Was tired of the spots on the floor and the threads on the carpet. Once all that was done, I headed downstairs. 

I worked on the quilt that we will donate to the museum for their gala. 

Today Patrick was golfing again. That's a good thing. I slept a little longer. Then I had to get up and get ready for mom to show up at 10 am. I got my exercises and eye stuff done. I didn't get a chance to brush my teeth before she came so had to wait till after. 

Mom arrived and we looked over the quilts that needed binding put on. We decided to give another one to Cindy. It was bad. I almost did it, but I couldn't. I will drop it off with her on Friday ...

 This morning, Patrick left for golfing. He had a pretty good day. 

Jo Pope arrived around 10 am and we got her 2 more panels to do. We also got the backing and batting for her quilt she has ready to quilt. She works fast. lol  Before she came over, I worked on cleaning up the room down there. I was putting stuff away and picking out a few things to go to Colleen for the garage sale. She's kicking butt on getting ready for the sale. 

After Jo left, I headed over to Colleen's. Dropped off another ...
