What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

This morning, I needed to get up to Olympia for my doctor appointment. I had to get my "female test" done today. I have been positive over the last 3 years with HPV virus. The last one was fine. I had to do another test today to see if it shows up again and if it does, then I have to do a biopsy. I learned a lot more today about the HPV tests. It's the test they do to see if cancer is coming. It is normally dormant. It was described like chick pots. It's something you ...

This morning, I got busy and started laundry. I was happy to have today at home. I seem to be going places all the time lately. We were talked about all the appointments we have, and after next week, we don't have another one scheduled till June. That will be nice!

I played my games and then pulled out my beading to work on. 

Yesterday was one of those days. I decided no matter what, I needed to get the quilt top done and off to Colleen. So, after playing a few games, I went downstairs to get to work on it. 

The top and bottom stars fit perfectly. Then when it was time to add the sides, they were off about an inch or two. So, I had to rethink how to get this done. The red was a "pop" and worked great. So, then I called Patrick down to help me out. 

So, I added a blue on the sides to give ...

This morning, I headed into town to pick up a few things. While I was at it, I got Patrick and Phil a drink from Dutch Brothers. 

Came home, and then pretty much tried to play a couple games. I was in the war game, when my brain didn't want to understand what I was reading. It happens from time to time but is rare. Dyslexia is complicated and hard to explain at times. So, when I get flustered, I close up. I can't comprehend what I'm reading. That's when I feel like an idiot. So ...

 We were up early because I had to go to Olympia to get an X-ray of my chest. We also had to stop and get Patrick's blood drawn. So, we were out the door by 8:45 am to get gas and head up to Olympia. 

We then went to the casino and were there by 11:45 am. We played our favorite games. It was interesting because we won 2 MAJOR bonus - over $900. Then we also won big prizes in the bonus rounds. We came home with a lot more than we went with. At first, we ...

 This morning I pulled out the dough from last night that was in the refrigerator. It was frozen solid. I couldn't believe it! So, after I showered and had a few things going, like laundry, I got started on it again. This time I remembered the sour dough that was to go in it. 

I made about 18 of them. I think I should have waited on the frosting till it cooled down a bit, but that's okay. Its sweet bread with cherries. I was surprised it wasn't sweet like cinnamon rolls. Patrick said they were okay ...

 Today, I enjoyed sleeping a little longer. I really didn't want to get up. 

When I did, I got laundry going (then forgot about it). I headed downstairs to work on getting ready for the sew day on Wednesday. I need to send out an email to everyone for a reminder. 

I was looking for things we started and didn't get finished. So, I found the quilt we were working on in January that didn't get done. I also pulled out the kit that JoAnn gave me back. I have it ready to work on as well ...

 This morning, I was up early. Even when I had my "blinders" on. Patrick slept a bit longer. 

I played on my tablet. I wanted to do something, but we had to leave around 11 am to get up to Olympia for my cardiologist appointment. We arrived on time and to my surprise was in on time. We talked about the medications I'm on and we are going to change things up. I have to talk to my doctor in 3 weeks, so will tell her what we talked about and see if Kaiser will do the shots or ...

This morning, we headed out to the casino. We have Wednesdays this month for the casino - except for next week. We have sew days here. 

We played at the casino a good 4-5 hours. We didn't lose much at all.  We played on their money. I think the little we lost was from the money we won a few weeks ago. So, we are still ahead. Patrick got a bonus of $1,163 that was under the line of having to get an IRS form done. lol 

We then went to Safeway for things we need. We even had ...

This morning, I worked on cleaning up the house before heading to the museum. I had some laundry done, cat litter taken care of, and even some computer work done. 

Then I headed out to the museum and picked up some coffee for Debbie, tea for me, before getting there. 

I had a few things going on when I arrived. Sam wasn't there, because she's in Texas. Chip was busy with something that happened to the museum, so didn't get a chance to chat with him. Everything was set up for the presentation. Donna filled in for ...

This morning, Patrick went golfing and I slept in. When I got up, I started laundry and got on the computer to work on a few things. 

Once all that was done, Patrick walked in the house. Didn't get to listen to my book for very long. I then went downstairs to get the backing and batting done for the 250th panel quilt. It needs to get done. 

Came back upstairs and started writing the names on the labels of the quilts we have done. They will go to the museum Thursday. 

This was one that Colleen's sister ...

 Today I was off to moms. I brought along some iced tea so I wouldn't have to stop. 

Arrived at moms first. Then Gerilyn, Bonnie and Georgie came. We ended up "BSing" more than doing anything else. I did get some work on my embroidery though. 

I was able to get the second one done with the first layer. I am going to have to wire the rest soon. We talked about sourdough bread, mom and her job as a protective payee, Sandy and her health. Just about everything. 

Then I headed home by stopping at Colleens and picking ...

This morning, I was up early. Enjoying the day. Decided to just take it easy. This week is going to be busy I'm sure. 

We went to the theater to see the play, "9 to 5." It turned out really good. I found myself enjoying the 3rd character that played Jody. She was awesome! The first half took about 90 minutes while the second half was 30 minutes. It was the last show of the play run. I really did enjoy that play. 

Came home and got supper going. Then around 7 pm Patrick went to bed. He just ...

This morning, I was up earlier than I have been in a while. It was nice but weird when 10 am came around and I thought it was later than that. 

I worked on laundry for a bit. Then I sat and played my game for a couple hours. Once that was over, I pulled out my cross stitch and got to work. 

I was able to work on the other arm before we headed to Red Lobster for supper. It was good, but expensive. Red Lobster doesn't have the foods I used to love to get, but a ...

This morning, I was up and working on my embroidery for the class. I was early today. Our class started at 10 am. It wasn't much of doing anything, but a class of what was to come. There wasn't anyone in the class that finished working on the flower petals. We all commented that we would have been closer to being done if we had another week to work on it. Then we went our Loretta's patterns to see what she could offer in the future. Once we finished, my brain was saying, "Seems easy enough." But ...

 This morning, I was up and working on my class piece. I also got a few things done for QOV. I got the certificate that needed to be mailed ready to go. 

We went to the Post Office first, then to Walmart! UGH Wally World! I was lucky and got to the pharmacy right away. Normally there is a long line. Met Patrick at the entrance since he went to get the windshield wipers for the car. It's pretty good that we lasted a good 7 years with the ones we have. Now watch, we will have to replace ...

This morning, Patrick went to meet up with his city friends. All the retired "bosses" get together about every 3 months and BS. 

I was keeping busy with my game for a bit, then I went for my walk. I was able to get 5 laps in without the stick. I wanted to see if I could do it. My ankle did good till the last lap. While I was walking a young deer was coming down the road at me. He then went to the neighbor's drive. 

Then it was time to sit and work on my embroidery ...

This morning, I slept in. I was up at 7 am and went back to bed. Then when I woke, I felt good. 

We got busy with getting the place cleaned up a bit. Then I had my stack of paperwork on the computer test, so I decided to get busy and work on that. I needed to get the information in on the family history. To my surprise, I worked on the WINELAND, TRUE and BROWN families. Brown isn't part of my line, but it is on the branches off my line. I was filling in places. Bryan ...

 This morning, I slept in again. I'm surprised I'm sleeping so late. Patrick said I snored all night. lol Poor guy. Allergies are back. UGH

I got moving this morning. Didn't play games but did get a few things done before meeting Sandy at the British Tea shop in Centralia. We had lunch there. Talked a good 2 1/2 hours since we haven't seen each other in over 6 months. Please we talked about her heart issues that she's dealing with now. Also talked about everything under the sun. 

Came home around 2:30 ...

This morning, I was working on cleaning up my "inbox" and worked on some genealogy before me class started. I was on the computer when the phone rang, and I was late for the class. I thought it was at 10:30 am but it was at 10 am.  So, I joined up. I didn't have everything I needed, duh! Before Patrick went golfing, I was searching the house for the pattern! I thought I misplaced it, but I didn't. I had it with another stump work class I did a few years ago that's in the ...
