What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

This morning, we cleaned house and then left for the casino. We are going on Sunday to get the free gift of pots and pans. The pan we got last week is really nice and works great. We can use it and I do. Today we got a Dutch oven with lid. So, I'm looking forward to seeing how long these last. 

We played our usual games. But that wasn't working out. So, we went back to the game we played last week that we really liked. Right off the bat, Patrick won $862. So, we stayed and ...

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 ...

Nice day! I was able to sleep in but didn't. Patrick went golfing. That game me the morning to myself. I actually sat and watched "Virgin River" on Netflix. I did notice that some of the stuff in the books are different. But it is pretty close to the books. 

Patrick got home and I went for my walk. I got a call before I went out from my Gastro team in Olympia. My doctor wants me to be on the care end. A nurse or PA will call me once a month and see how I am doing ...

Today we were heading to Olympia for Patrick's MRI and CAT scans. It's the three-month journey.  It was a cool day but a pretty day. He had his scans and while he was in there, I crocheted. I started the next set of leg warmers. I got about 3" done. I also played on my phone. 

We did the usual cleaning this morning. Got a lot done and then headed out to the casino. We arrived around 11 am. 

I checked our cards and this time we both got the free gifts. It's a Hex fry pan. I like them and hope they are as good as they look, but who knows. We have gotten cheap crap from them before. We played for a good 4 hours. We didn't lose all our money. We got ahead the last hour and about that time I was tired of playing. I think Patrick was too. So ...

 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 woke to not feeling well. I went back to sleep and woke at 9:30 am realizing I needed to get moving. I called Georgie and told her I wouldn't be coming. Found out Bonnie couldn't make it either, so got a hold of Gerilyn and cancelled. I'm just hoping I'm not getting the crap that is going around. 

So, I played on my tablet and just took the day off. Patrick got in after golfing and was surprised I actually did what I said I would do - stay home. 

We both took ...

The Project Quilting Challenge for this week was about something from another era. Well, instead of looking backwards, I decided to go forward. I’d had an idea for a BTS-themed denim jacket for my sister. My sister is a huge BTS fan and we are lucky enough to have gotten tickets to see them later this spring. I’ve been loving the denim jackets I’ve seen with quilted insets and wanted to create BTS’s logo on a jacket. I pieced the logo and then quilted it directly to the jacket back with a layer of thin batting ...

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 ...

This morning, I needed to get stuff ready and head out the door. I had to redo the certificate and get it ready for the male. Then I had to get the quilts in the house done with labels and get them ready to go to the museum. I had to stitch down one of the labels, but that wasn't hard. I was hoping to be out the door by 10:05 am but had to wait till 10:30 am. 

First stop was at Jo's to pick up the panel quilt. Then it was off to the ...

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 had the morning to myself. It was awesome. I played my games. Then I went for my walk. Patrick came back from golfing when I was done. 

We headed out to the casino. I wanted to get the chocolates that they were giving out - to those who spend way too much money gambling. lol It was a heart tin of about 18 pieces of chocolate. We played on the money we get every Friday and then spent some of the money we won about two weeks ago. So, we are still playing on the money we won ...

This morning, Patrick was waiting to go out to go golfing. The weather wouldn't let them go till after 10 am. Which gave me some time to myself. 

I pretty much listened to my audiobook, cleaned the litter box, and ran the vacuum. Then I sat and played my game. When the battery was low, I traded it in for my cross stitching. 

I worked on the left side. I was able to get here, then ended up taking out some of the stitches, because I wasn't on track. Once I got myself back on track of what ...

This morning, I was up around 8 am. Wanted to get out of bed before Patrick so he could make the bed. lol Too lazy to do it today. 

I got my 3 laps in on my walk, plus some. Then I sat and worked on my cross stitching before we had to head up to Olympia.
