Meeting & Nothing Day from Quilting My Way

This morning, I head to the post office to send out Bryan's stuff for the family history. Then went to DB to get my chai tea. Decided on iced tea.

We chatted out my family and all the issues there. We chatted about Sandy's surgery and chatted out Ocean Shores Sandy's husband and her wonderful time with her sisters. It was a very good catch-up meeting. I ...

Embroidery Day - AND I DID Embroidery Today from Quilting My Way

 This morning, I had to collect everything for embroidery. I grabbed my embroidery bag and forgot my cross stitch stuff. 

First things first, I had to stop at the bank, then head to Dutch Brothers for coffee and tea. Then had to swing by moms to get the quilt that was done and give her the puzzle I took apart to return. She wasn't sure who she had to return it to, but she'll figure it out.

Mom wanted to show me the quilt she's hand quilting. This is the piece that we worked on together. She ...

Busy Meeting & Stitching from Quilting My Way

This morning, I was up and found Patrick was thinking ahead of me. I wanted to drop off the garage sale stuff for Colleen. He had it on the table before I even walked out in the living room. Then he put it in the car for me. What a sweet fella! 

He headed up to Olympia for his blood tests. I told him I would pick up his coffee from Starbucks since there was a free on. He couldn't get his usual, but I did get him the Pike's Place coffee on my way home. 

Went to ...

Super Bowl Sunday - UGH! from Quilting My Way

This morning, I was up early. I tend to do that from time to time. 

I got busy with cleaning. Tried starting laundry and that didn't go far. I did go down and cut backing and batting for 2 quilts that I will drop off at Colleen's tomorrow. I will also drop off the garage sale stuff for her to price. 

Then we watched 3 mystery shows. And a comedy. All from BritBox. I'm not sure about the comedy, but we will see. 

It probably doesn't look like I did a lot, but I actually did ...

Quilting At Moms from Quilting My Way

 I had to stop at Safeway to get salad for mom. She forgot to get it yesterday and wanted it for our meeting. Then headed over to her place. Carmen was already there. 

I forgot to take a photo of mom working on the quilt top we made together. I did take a photo of Penny's mom's BE work though. 

This was one of the pieces she showed me her mom did. Her mother taught herself to do BE when she was in her 80's. I enjoyed looking at the patterns she had. There were kits there ...

Meeting Day from Quilting My Way

 Today was Brazilian embroidery. So, I was running late. I wanted to be on time, but we all know how things go when I plan things. I took my BE bonsai piece and my cross stitching. Really wasn't in the mood to do anything. Sandy E brought her floss to organize. That was working for her. Her daughter came and we haven't seen her in a while. It was really nice to have both Sandy's there and Sandy E's daughter. We chatted more than worked on anything. 

I worked on the noise area and then called ...

Time At Moms from Quilting My Way

This morning, I was up early to play on my war game. Since I have a higher level it was fun to be able to win. lol 

Then I got ready and headed out to go to moms. She was there, but no one had arrived yet. It's weird but it's looking like there are only 4 of us at times. At least Penny arrived to make it 5. Mom wanted me and everyone else to figure out her design and what colors to use. 

She's into pastels and it's looking more like a pastel quilt ...

Enjoyable Sunday - Via Zoom from Quilting My Way

 This morning, I was up early. Slept good but just couldn't go back to sleep. 

Sophie was waiting on me. She seems to love stretching out on the couch first thing in the morning. 

I played for a while. Patrick asked me to go walking with him, so we did 3 laps. He starting to join me in my walking. Surprising but nice. We chat about this and that. Almost like being in the car together. lol 

Came in and got busy on doing the billing. I needed to send out bills for the water. So, that took most ...

Sending Christmas Cheer! from Quilting My Way

 This morning, Patrick and I enjoyed being able to sleep in - but I didn't. 

Got to enjoy a bit of time on the tablet and then need to drop of Christmas gifts. We headed to Nancy's first and gave her her gift. Then we went to moms and dropped off her gifts. I was going to go to the mail box, but had the wrong key. I had Nancy's. Too funny. I don't know where mom put her key, so didn't bother. Patrick watered her plants. Then we headed to Phil and Emily's. Patrick ...

Back To Olympia And Wrapping from Quilting My Way

 This morning, we were up bright and early. Patrick had his kidney doctor appointment, and it was at 8:30 am.  We were out the door in time. Got up there and were in and out pretty quickly. Even Patrick's blood draws were done fast. I like his kidney doctors, she's a kick and she's on it with his medications. She's the first one to call him when his electrolytes are off. Too bad she's not a GP, or I would go to her! lol 

We then went to Costco! OH, MY! It was crowded ...

Embroidery With Sandy from Quilting My Way

 This morning I was up early. One of those mornings, but I needed to be. I had things to do today. 

I headed to the bank to find out why 3 checks were not cashed. It was a month since I wrote the checks. Then I stopped at Phils to give him his ornament.  Once that was done, I headed to the grange. 

Sandy was there already and ironing her fabrics. I pulled out my bonsai tree embroidery and worked on it. 


 I worked on one light yellow and the dark yellow. I found I was using the wrong color ...

Back To Embroidery from Quilting My Way

 This morning I was up, played a bit, and went back to bed. Before I did, I wrote a piece in the kingdom chat letting them know how ticked I was that because I didn't spell out the name, and put "..." they assumed I said, "@%$!" which I didn't. I let them know who wrong that was to go after someone over spelling. I don't know it if will help - but it made me feel better and I went back to bed. I slept another 2 hours. lol 

When I did get up and become part of this ...

Embroidery And Veterans Day Celebration from Quilting My Way

 This morning I had to get everything ready to go. I had quilts, flyers, and quilt tops. Then it was off to embroidery.  

I listened to my book while heading over to Love's for gas. Then headed to Centralia to get coffee and head to the grange.

I got most of the leaves done by the nest. I'm not sure I like the color of the leaves. But that the color I have in the kit. It is different.  I was enjoying this. 

Then I had to get moving to the ...

Embroidery Day from Quilting My Way

 We had our embroidery meeting today. Mom and Sandy's friend made 5 of us. We had a good meeting with mom chatting up a storm. 

I got more done on my Space Needle. Sandy said I should add a picnic tablet. At first I was wondering why, the she said,  "you mentioned the picnic table that your grandmother said was the Taylor picnic table." That was on Alki Point in Seattle.  Back when there wasn't a lot of people going there. Like a secret.  When I visited with cousin Cindy 10 years ago, it was still there. But ...

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 ...

Embroidery And Beading from Quilting My Way

 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 ...
