What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

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 ...

I was up early this morning. I needed to be ready to leave by 8:30 am. I was about to get ready to leave when Patrick decided to get up and shower. So, I waited, and waited, and waited. I finally went into the bathroom while he was getting out. Got a dirty look from him and a smart comment, "Am I in your way?" I replied, "Yes, I need to get ready to leave." That shut him up. He keeps doing that to me. I have 15 mins to get ready, and that's when he goes into ...

 This morning I was up earlier than usual. I had too much to do. After getting ready, I had to take all the stuff out to the car. My list of things to do was long. 

First I had to hit the bank, next thing I off to Rite Aid, then Phil's. Once that was done I headed to McD's for coffee for both Sandy and Cindy. Next stop was to the fair to pick up 5 quilts. I got there to find Chuck asking me for 2 more forms to fill out for QOV. Gave them to ...

 This morning Derek and Kylee headed out to meet the rest of the family in Woodinville. They left around about 8:15 am. It was nice to see them. 

After they left I was able to start my day. I exercised and then waited to see if Ron was outside. When he didn't show up around 10:30 am, I headed out to walk. I did 2 loops till he came out to join me. We then did 7 loops. 

By the time I got back in the house it was almost one o'clock. I had started laundry ...

 Yesterday I was up before the crack of dawn! Then headed over to the Motel in town to meet up with the Twin Cities Rotary. They were very kind and are helping us with Quilts of Valor. We were gifted $1,000 which will go a long way. We were shocked and pleased at the same time!

Then we headed to Denny's for breakfast. There we sat and chatted. Debbie left early because she had to get home. Connie and I still had an hour and a half before we were to be at the fair. Our shift was ...

 This morning we were up. I wanted to go back to sleep but couldn't. So I DRAGGED myself out of bed. lol 

I was playing on the tablet and waiting to do my exercises. Patrick came in the house to let me know Ron was waiting for me to come and walk. I walked out there, and we got the full 7 laps in. I told him I would see him on Saturday since I have to be at the Lewis County Rotary meeting at 7 am. Then I have to be at the fair by 10 am. Connie ...

 This morning I was up and stop to see Phil. Then I headed to Dutch Brother's to get my tea for a long day. I arrived early at the fair. 

My judging was for embroidery. I only had about 20 pieces to judge. There was this really pretty Santa picture that was a good foot in length. It was framed and well done. The problem with all the cross stitch pieces was that the crosses were not crossed in the same direction. I docked several of the pieces because of that. They were well done and really pretty too ...

 This morning bright and early, we headed to Nashville were we walked the streets.  I picked a few things up on the way.

We stopped at the candy shop as well. Got dessert here. Then we headed to the Pickers shop. Not impressed! More of a tourist trap. Not even worth a photo.

We then headed to the cave. When we arrived they didn't have tours available.  So we checked out the shops. Then headed home. 

While watching "Black Widow " I  worked on my embroidery.  Now I am adding the white french knots. It has been fun to work ...

Today Patrick headed off to golfing. I worked on my beading for a little bit before leaving. I started seaming the seam to the front. It's like a zipper. 

I headed over to the fair. Ended up in the farthest part of the parking lot. So, I'm taking a bag that isn't that heavy into the fair. Of course that is going to be heaver when I leave! I set up the station for our QOV honors. 

This morning Patrick was off to golfing. I got up and made a Blueberry Buckle. Once that was in the oven, I then mopped the floor and vacuumed. Got my laundry back on track as well. I was able to sit and work 1 row on the beads. 

When I finally had the chance to sit down and play games, Patrick got back home. We waited about 15 mins and headed out. We stopped and picked up a quilt at the church. Then it was off to the fair. Patrick dropped me off at the Senior Center where I could ...

At long last some cooler temperatures have arrived and it's feeling fall-like; the wait has been well worth it-- brisk mornings and pleasant afternoons under sapphire-blue skies. Quiltkeemosabe and I got together this week to work and compare notes on our progress with making, and writing up directions for, every one of the 202 six inch blocks from Rosemary Youngs' Quilt Block Bible. We have
