What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

I dropped off 2 quilt tops at Colleens and headed to moms. There were 5 of us. It was fun. Georgie and mom where working on QOV quilt stuff. I was working on my embroidery. I don't know why mom won't sit down and enjoy working on her applique instead of keeping busy with QOV stuff. 

   Today was Patrick's Birthday. He didn't want anything and said it's just another day to him. I'm not that way when it comes to Birthdays, but then he treats it the same. lol 

This morning, I wanted to get some stuff cleaned. I got started on laundry, that didn't get me far. 

I had the Roomba going in the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen/dining room. We then mopped the floor. I kept finding things that needed cleaning and was doing that. I think all morning was nothing but cleaning here and there. Like spring cleaning ...

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 ...

 Today, we had to be up and ready to leave. We needed to get mom to her appointment by 11 am. So, we went to pick her up at 10 am. 

We picked her up and had a few things we needed to do when we dropped her off. So, we took her to the dentist in Olympia that could take care of her root canal. They checked her out, then they came out to let Patrick and I know it would be an hour. I played on my phone for a bit and then got into my bag, that ...

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 ...

This morning, we cleaned a few things. Then we went to the casino. 

While at the casino we got our "free gift" that was a makeshift Roomba vacuum cleaner. It was made by someone else. It was very light. We stayed and played for about 2 hours and came home. Then Patrick took the vacuum out of the box. He tried it on the carpet, then tried it on the floor. IT DIDN'T WORK! I got nothing! I'm shocked that the casino would get such a cheap gift! Bet they only paid $2 because it wasn't even ...

This morning, Patrick and I enjoyed sleeping in. 

Then we sat and watched some TV movies. I worked on my round robin. Once it was finished, I put the 2 round robin pieces in the mailing bag and have it ready to mail. WHICH MEANS, I forgot to take a photo, and I can't describe what I did. Even I don't have a photo of my work. I finished the piece below. It turned out pretty good, but I forgot that I needed to put green for the borders, and the last boarder where the needle is, was ...

This morning, Patrick was off golfing, and I was headed to moms. I needed to make a couple stops on the way, and then I was at moms by 9:45 am.  I was the first to get there. We chatted a bit and then Geralyn arrived. After her was Georgie. 

We had a good visit. Both Geralyn and I were working on her project. She was asking about how I would do the bee she needed to do. We chatted about that. Then I was showing her my round robin stuff. I had the three right there. I decided ...

Today, I was lazy all morning. I was waiting for the phone call from QOV. We needed to chat about things I needed for the NAMS program. I enjoyed my chat with Kathy. She understood where I was coming from and what I was doing. 

Then I goofed around for a bit while doing laundry. Once the Seahawks game started, I started to get a few things done. 

Today, was one of those days where it poured! Rained all day! They are expecting flooding, so it's going to be interesting the next couple of days. 

I headed out to Georgie's house for embroidery. I pulled out my Round Robin piece out to work on. Yep, I forgot I had it and needed to finish it. 

This morning, I was getting a few things ready for when Sandy E and her sister Jeannette were coming. As I was getting ready, Debbie wanted to know if I would be home, and mom called to see if I could take the bolt cardboard, she got from Debbie McGinnis yesterday. I said sure. 

So, first to show was Debbie and we talked about the quilt she wanted to make for the "therapy quilt" to give to her daughter. She has enough photos of her grandson to make a quilt for his brother as well. So, we chatted about what ...

This morning, I needed to be up by 9 am to play the war game. I played but didn't get much in points. I've been backing off that game lately. 

We watched some TV and then we shut it off. 

I'm not sure when I will be getting the next one ...

This morning, was physical therapy. I had it early, so I was back by noon. I stopped at moms to visit but she had a gal there for her Mary Kay makeup. They were playing. I didn't want to, and I left. 

Came home to find in the mailbox my Round Robin piece. It was what the gal who was before me was supposed to have done. She had to quit, so she sent me what she was getting. I decided to get to work on it, because it needs to go back in the mail in a weeks ...

This morning, Patrick went golfing and I went to the grange to meet up with my friends for embroidery. I had to stop at Safeway first, then Phils, then post office and last the PUD building. I put the bill in the box for overnight, thinking it was a holiday for them. The people behind me walked right in! Guess they were open today. Oh, well they will get the bill tomorrow then. Now worries. 

We had three of us today. I talked my head off. More than I usually do anyway. They asked about mom and that went into ...

Today, I was playing war games twice. We didn't win either one. lol 

Then I enjoyed watching TV while Patrick was golfing. I was able to get a few shows in before he got home. 

Then he went outside and worked in the garden. After that, he slept on the swing. He needs his naps during the day. lol 

I was able to work on my beading. 

I received my Round Robin today. Erin Ferre sent this. I need to think about what I want to add. We can add anything we want. It will take me a bit ...

This morning, Patrick went to his PT appointment, and I was visiting with mom. I got to see the photos of my great nephew. He's adorable! He's also a year old now. 

I was checking out mom's applique she did for Bob's grandchild. I love what she did. 

 Today is the last day of retreat. We got breakfast in the hotel. It was pretty good. They really had a spread for everyone. DON'T MISS DAY 1 BELOW!

Sandy V left about the same time we did. We headed to get coffee at Starbuck's and didn't realize we were 15 minutes late for the classes. When we arrived, they told us not to worry, they were going to start Q&A before we get started. They were running behind as well. 

Of course, I pulled out Blitz to work on. I had to take out the ...

Today I was off the tablet?!! 

I started the day off around 9 am. I actually got a good night's sleep and didn't get up till 9 am. I really wanted to sleep more but talked myself out of it. 

I got breakfast, and got some laundry in. Then I sat down with the bear I'm doing for the round robin. I need to get it in the mail asap since it's going to Canada and want to know how long it takes to get there. Which meant I needed to get it ready to go ...

 I'm a day behind, so I'm going to post twice with both days covered. 

Yesterday - 

Patrick dropped me off at Sandy's house at 6:30 am. We needed to be in Auburn, WA by 8 am - so we thought. It was actually 9 am. We ended up being early, so we sent a text asking if we were in the right place. They were on the way. The facility was awesome, but they had a manikin (sp) that looked real. It was a little spooky. So, we set up in our chairs to get to work. 

We ...

This morning, I needed to be at the museum by 10:15 am. Debbie and I were giving a veteran a quilt that is shy and doesn't want the attention. We worked hard to get this set up and finally arrived. When we got there, Jim wasn't there yet. His neighbor called to see if he was coming and told us he was on the way. 

We went into Sam's office, and she called him in to talk to him about his grandson. Then she told him she had him there for a reason. Chip, Mike Cheek ...
