What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Patrick was out the door for golfing when I finally got up. I had my list ready to go. Had breakfast and headed out the door. Since it was Monday,  I was ready for my list of things to do.

Headed out yo the grange, but had olplaces to be before and after.  I went to the bank, Safeway for coffee at Starbucks, post office and old Fullers store for cupcakes. I asked how much a really cute moose dessert was and was told $11 each. I about died! They used to have the best cakes and cupcakes but they ...

Woke this morning to rain. I played my game because we had a battle to do. 

After that was over, Patrick went to work on the well stuff. While he was gone I vacuumed.  Then I headed into our computer room. Needed to get a few things done.  I have two boxes ready for shipping.  I dried the wrinkles out of the backing fabric I washed. My list for stuff to do on Monday is long. 

Then I wanted to get back to my beading.  

I was able to get a bit more done. I do like the way this ...

 Patrick went golfing. I went with Debbie to check our stack of quilts. We spent the morning going over our quilts, cleaned up our area in the museum and got the pillowcases stacked by white or off white.  We put the raffle stuff together.  It worked out great. We then figured the 2 quilts that the Mossyrock group said they needed. Waiting for her to get back to us.  Picked up 3 quilt tops that were dropped off.

Came home and cut the backing and batting for all three. Debbie took one to quilt. Will get Colleen to do the ...

 This morning I was up and enjoying a few minutes playing before going to embroidery.  Sandy and I enjoyed a fun day working on our embroidery.  I worked on my Space Needle part. 

O have a few ideas how to improve this. The black darker lines are my embroidery work. The others are my guide lines. 

Sandy was braiding the floss. It's supposed to help with the threads getting tangled. I did add few of mine. I think I will do that with my threads as I add them to the taps. I need to remember to bring my ...

I was up before Patrick,  but then he was having another bad day. Wonder if he got a cold or something but then he wasn't sniffing or sneezing.  Temperature was normal. He was just not 100%. So most of the day he laid on the couch or slept in the chair off and on. He had football on all day long. 

I listened to my books on tape. Finished one and started another.  I played some but worked on my beading. I finished the second panel of the first set of two. Now I am a third done.

 This morning, got 6 laps with Ron around the neighborhood.  I was in two battles with my game between walking.

Patrick wasn't having a good day, so I pretty much worked on my projects. 

I was able to get three more potholder done.  They went pretty fast. I was even enjoying my book on tape. I have a total of 12 done so far. Guess they will end up as Christmas gifts.

 Was up early, had a couple nightmares. I checked the pattern we used for the floating star. I noticed we could have done it better. I was wondering about the teeth of the star. We did it different then the pattern. It was bothering me the last couple days, so went to look. 

Debbie came over for backing fabric.  She's all set. 

After she left, I played my game for a bit. Patrick took a nap, so I put my tablet away and got to work on my beading.  

I got half of the left done.  It went really ...

Today was another good day. Patrick went golfing.  Ron and I got 5 laps in on walking. 

Came in and played my games for a bit. My bread dough was ready, so I made hamburger rolls. Patrick helped me try something different.  We put 4 small balls together.  It actually came out pretty good. Patrick froze the extra. 

I ended up working on QOV stuff again. Got some work done. Ordered flyers for December. 

Once all that was done and supper was over, I remembered to clean the cat litter box.

 This morning I tried to sleep in. No such luck.  

Ron and I walked 6 laps. Then came in and got batting and backing cut for Colleen.  Then re-did the certificate for one of the veterans yesterday.  Now that is ready for tomorrow.  Monday's are my busiest days of the week. 

One I had everything done, I decided to bead. I had thought about pulling out my white on white quilt and start Quilting but changed my mind. Need to get my ornaments done first.

First panel in the second ornament done. I had to double check a few ...

This morning,  I slept on. Then playing games.  My lunch was canceled so didn't go anywhere.  

Ron and I walked 5 laps. He couldn't do any more.  Patrick went to his coffee chat. He meets up with his other City workers that retired when he did.

I got my certificates done for Saturday.  Then I cut backing and batting for Colleen.  I found the foot peddle for the sewing machine.  

Then when he got home it was being lazy. We didn't even have the TV on. He picked up a roasted chicken for us. It was pretty ...

This morning,  I was up early.  Had to get my stuff together for our meeting. Patrick was up and got the veggies from the garden for me to take to mom and the gals. 

I headed to the PO to drop off my recycling stuff for Oral B. Found out I needed to go to Staples because the label was for UPS. I ended up waiting 10 mins before I could hand it over. 

Arrived to find Alice and Sandy there. Gave Sandy the kits I got fir her and the porcupine quills. 

I was able to get this much ...

I woke early to find Patrick was up before me.  6:30 am is early even for me. 

This morning I woke to pain in my chest. Not in my chest but on the skin. I scratched myself last night while sleeping and got more pain then after surgery.  I called the day - don't do day. I didn't do anything today! Hurt to much to do anything. 

I did finish up a few things. Helped Patrick unload the dishwasher.  He thinks I over did it yesterday and I would agree to that. 

I did find a few minutes to finish the last panel. This is ready to be an ornament.  

I also started the next set ...

Yesterday we went to a tracker show/tracker parade/knife and gun show.

 Yesterday Christine and I went shopping.  I went to my favorite beading shop. I bought several things. Noc Bay is an awesome shop!!

I picked up 4 kits. I am giving one to Sandy as a gift. I will make the others

It was Saturday.  Yesterday was pretty much a quiet day, but I did get a few things done. 

We did go out on the pontoon and look around.  They were going to go swim in the deep area, but changed their minds when we got there. 

We found a few turtles enjoying the sun. 

Came back and they sat in the water. I beaded and worked on my embroidery. 

I did try and start the nest but it's boucle thread and a pain, I may work on that later. 

When I went to beading,  I got messed up. I ...

We started out by getting up at 9 am. I guess I am still on Washington time. Want to stay up passed midnight and get up around 9am.

I realized I hadn't posted yesterday.  We pretty much spent the morning flying. We arrived in Escanaba MI around 11 am. Christine came and picked us up. We spent most of the day sitting and chatting. Christine and I walked 3 miles. We called it a night early.

This morning I was up at 7:30. Christine made sausage egg biscuits.  It was really good. 

We headed out to pick up a few things. We are getting food and stuff for the cabin. Then came back and walked 3 miles. We walked faster than I normally do.

When we ...

This morning, I was up early getting ready for the fair. I realized I had forgotten a few things. I also forgot to get back with Sandy on having BE stuff there from our group. I texted Sandy V last night to make sure she got her tickets. 

I started out with sending Bryan a family report on the ancestors of the Matheson side. I only gave him 5 generations, because it goes a lot longer than 16 pages otherwise. He will review and fix what needs to be fixed. I will get with him when we get back. I ...

This morning, I was running behind. I had to get moving for walking. We did 5 laps around the neighborhood but thought we did 6 till I realized I was counting wrong on my tees. We had stopped and chatted with Kevin Hubbert and thought we counted wrong. After I got home, I figured out we did. Oh, well. 

I spend the rest of the day till 4 pm working on family history. I was adding a few things on Findagrave. I was also putting obit information into my program. It was long but it needed to be done. I ...
