What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 This morning, we played our war game and then we headed off to the casino. We were there for 5 hours and came out EVEN.  They pretty much paid for our fun because we won enough to play for 5 hours. There were a few games that we didn't win on but since I won $750 in the beginning, we played on that all day. 

Stopped and got chicken for supper on the way home. Then we sat and watched TV. Not much to watch but we did get caught up on the bracket food competition. I love watching ...

 This morning, I was up and out the door for taking all the garage sale stuff in the truck to the grange. I had a couple stops before heading there. First the bank, then Safeway for cleaner wipes, then post office, and last stop before heading there was Dutch Brothers. 

Arrived to find Colleen in front of me getting there. Val was already there and dropped off her load. I couldn't believe all the stuff we had! OMG! I just hope this stuff sells. 

This was some before we added more. We have plenty and there is a lot ...

Today was one of those days where I could get stuff done. I cleaned up first. Had to get laundry going and clean the kitty box. Then I headed downstairs. 

I pulled out fabrics for the patterns we have to make quilts for QOV. I needed larger pieces of fabric, but that's okay, I worked with what we had. Patrick came down and he helped me out. He pulled a lot of the fabrics to go with the patterns. 

 By the time we were done, we had 6 quilt patterns with the fabrics. It's now ready for 6 ...

This morning, Patrick wanted to head to the casino. So, I got ready and we were out the door by 10 am. The casino had a crowd because of the contest with slot machines. It was a little frustrating because the gal calling everyone to the machines was LOUD. We couldn't talk when she was announcing. We played on the usual machines. Only 2 of them was "hitting." 

We were ready to leave, with our tails between our legs for losing, when I told Patrick I really wanted to play the bull machine that we usually play but hadn ...

This morning, we were up and relaxing till we needed to leave for Olympia. Patrick had his oncology appointment, and I was going to visit urgent care for my thumb and ear. Before we left, I had to make an appointment to the OBGYN for the hpv-16. Another TEST!! UGH!

We arrived in Olympia about a half hour earlier than needed because I thought urgent care would be packed. Patrick didn't think it would be in the middle of the day. I headed to urgent care with Patrick following. They were awesome! The guy at the desk didn't ...

 Yesterday, we took Sue to the airport. She was heading out at 10 am, so we left around 8 am to get her there. She was keeping track of the flights since she goes standby in her uniform. 

After dropping her off, we went to the casino on the way home. Ilani was tight! We did okay in one game, but the rest took it in a short time. We ended up home around 5 pm. Then we watched some TV before calling it a night. I was so tired that I even turned out the lights at 9 pm ...

Patrick and Sue went for doughnuts, and I headed to our meeting.  I had to stop at the post office first. And of course, I had to get my tea for the meeting. 

Arrived before everyone else. Geralyn and I were there first and chatted. Then Sandy V and Sandy E arrived. We pretty much sat down and chatted. We didn't work on anything! It's been a while since we all have seen each other. We don't know if we will be meeting much for the next month. Sandy is going on a cruise, I think, and ...

This morning, everyone was up before me. lol I laid on Patrick for a bit and fell asleep. Poor guy didn't get to go back to sleep. 

We all watched how things are made on the TV. Sue was showing us how to work the Roku. Now we are set. Best part is that we don't have to mess with the tablet or the phones to turn on the shows we want. 

Later we went to Talking Cedar (Distillery) and had supper. I ordered a friend chicken salad, and he even asked me about the dressing. When the ...

This morning, I was up early. Just couldn't sleep well. I did sleep till about 6 am but after that was useless. 

I headed over to the museum to get our presentation done. We needed to be done by 2 pm for Smiley's Birthday party. Our volunteer ended up doing 10 veterans for the first time. He did an awesome job.

 This morning I picked up coffee for Nancy, tea for mom and myself. Then I headed over to moms. We chatted about a half hour before the rest of the group came. We only had 6 of us. It's getting smaller as time goes on. I didn't do anything. I just sat and chatted with Penny and the rest. We talked about her health since she is going through more heart issues. I can be thankful I don't have half the issues she does with her heart. 

Came home and cleaned up. Had some clothes to fold ...

 This morning, I had some time to play my war game. Then we had to leave for Olympia for Patrick's scans. I had to do my blood tests as well. We were up there by 11 am. While Patrick was getting his scans, I was waiting by the pharmacy, where a gal fell down the stairs. They had to wheel her to the Urgent Care unit in a gurney. Think she broke her arm or something. 

We then head over to Xfinity to get the new gateway to update ours since we are having trouble with casting to the ...

 This morning, we were up and pretty much ready to go. Patrick wanted to go to the casino today. Before we headed out, we stopped a couple of times to get stuff done. 

Once on the way, it was surprising how much traffic there was. I remember when that much traffic used to be on weekends. Now it's everyday and weekends are a lot worse. 

We got to the casino and played our usual games. Lucky Eagle was "tight" today. Not many winnings happening. We played awhile but ended up losing a lot of money. Which was okay because ...

 This morning, Patrick was up before me. He came in to tell me it was 9 am. Of course, we had a time change to move forward. UGH I would have been better off going backwards in time. 

I made cinnamon rolls today. It turned out really good. A little on the sweet side for me though. 

I got a text from my sister-in-law asking if I found those photos of mom that she asked for. I had to go down to the boxes of photo's downstairs - nothing there. I saw some of the photos not too long ago ...

This morning, Patrick went golfing. I ended up cleaning up the house a bit. Since he was gone, it was easier to do. 

About the time he returned, I was heading out the door to see Colleen with garage sale stuff and a box for her. I also picked up a quilt from her. We chatted for a bit and then I had to head to Debbie's to see what we could do with the quilt she's working on for a veteran friend of hers. We didn't take long to decide what to do. Then we sat ...

This morning, I was enjoying the day. I unloaded the dishwasher and watched my show that I have been recording. 

Patrick went golfing and when he got back, we headed to Lucky Eagle casino to play. We actually came home with more than we took. We are still way ahead. We played 7 different games and most of them were hitting some. Good Cents - not so much. But then again, the jackpot was won while we were there. It was fun and I find that we enjoy the time together - even though we spend 24/7 most of the time ...

 This morning, I was up and enjoyed sleeping in a bit. Not much but enough to not worry about my doctor appointment today. 

We left to head up to Olympia in pouring rain! I hated the drive. Trucks galore! That never helps when you're trying to get passed them. We made it though. Life is good. I didn't have to wait long. I chatted with my doctor before the physical. I told her about my foot, and she had me go get an X-ray. I told her about my "bites" and how they infected. She said it's ...

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. Then went on the grange where Sandy from Ocean Shores was waiting. We chatted a bit and then Sandy came with her arm in a sling.  Her surgery went well. 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 ...

Life continues to happen, but you can bet I will always plan to quilt.

Tattoo quilt: my plan to go to Katrina’s to quilt the Tattoo Quilt in February was thwarted by a bout with the flu. Katrina and I have now rescheduled for the first weekend in April. The quilt top, backing, binding and threads are packed and ready to go.

Next new project from the list is the Sierra log cabin quilt with the Jennifer Sampou SKY Ombre fabrics (that’s Jennifer’s version of the quilt on the right). I’m pumped about this one, and ...

This morning, I was sleeping in. I couldn't seem to get up before 9:30 am. Patrick told me to go back to sleep when he got up, so I did. Then the phone was ringing. 

I checked my texts, as I had several dings around the time I finally got up. It was the family telling me my Uncle is on hospice and has cancer throughout his body. I wasn't surprised actually. This is my last Uncle, and the last time I saw him, he ticked me off so bad that I stopped being in contact. Which ...

 Today, was quilting at moms. I took my bread over and checked with mom to see what she needed before  everyone came. We ended up working on it for a bit after they arrived. She needed me to help her with a couple returns - that she actually already took care of - and getting her password to use on her accounts. I told her to stop logging out of her stuff and let the computer bring her back to it. Every time she logs in, does what she needs, then logs out. AND every few weeks she complains that she can ...
