What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends, and happy Saturday. I've realized that Saturday is probably my favorite day of the week. Generally, I give myself a day off from housekeeping chores. Ordinarily, I made breakfast for the two of us every day, but I've taken Saturday off for a long time. So, Saturday is my day to do only what I feel like doing. As you might guess, sewing is usually involved. Today I'll get in a Bowflex workout, but otherwise, it will be NBS. Maybe I'll bake some muffins.

So today the sun shone in my part of the county while our lakefront once again got pelted with snow. 

Anyways...

Over the years I've done a series of posts about Christmas gifts I thought were what every quilter needed but might not be ...

Good morning, my friends. Don't let that title fool you. It's all good. I'll tell you what I meant by that in a minute. First off...it's wet outside. The promised rain has returned. It's supposed to be a wet weekend, but sunny by Monday. That's weather I can live with, but I expect it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better. We haven't even reached winter yet, my friends, although it might feel as if it's here to many of you.

So when we left off yesterday ...

Good morning, my friends, although we're almost to lunch time. I think I can still avoid breaking any laws with my "good morning" wishes. As I mentioned in yesterday's post, I had breakfast with my friend Sue this morning and passed off the baby quilt for her new grandson. 

Of course, I wasn't out this early, but the day started with a pretty red sunrise.

Good morning, my friends, and happy Saturday. It was a busy day here yesterday. I had a little time for slow-stitching in the morning. I stitched enough on this Red Barn piece to decide to move my hoop to the right.

From there, we dropped Mike's truck off for some service and had breakfast at a very luxurious breakfast spot. Maybe you've heard of it. Maybe you even have one where ...

Good morning, my friends. I'm writing fast this morning because Mike and I are heading out to the RV show today. We're not in the market for an RV, but we always enjoy looking at what's new. I believe the fifth wheel and truck camper we have now will probably be our last RVs. Before the show, we're dropping Mike's truck off for some needed service and then getting our beloved Egg McMuffins for breakfast. Comfort food, you know. So, you can see it's going to be a busy day.

Good morning, my friends. Sadly, I must report that I have to go somewhere today. It's time for my monthly pedicure, and so I'll be heading out mid-morning for that. I like getting a pedicure. I just wish the pedicure would come to me. After that, I'll pick up a couple of items that have accumulated on our grocery list, and then I'll head for home. There's no telling how much time I'll have for sewing today.

Good morning, my friends, although there isn't much morning left in the day. It was a busy and productive morning for me. I showered and left the house early for a fasting blood draw. It's a miserable morning when I can't have my coffee. It took three sticks for one vial of blood, which was mildly annoying. 

The phlebotomist read off the tests they would run on my blood, looking at me for affirmation. "If that's what the doctor ordered," I said. "I was hoping you would know what we're doing." Sheesh. It didn't ...

Good morning, my friends. I hope everyone slept well. My morning started too early, as often happens, but there will be time for a nap this afternoon. It's going to be a run-around day. I'm getting my monthly pedicure. And then I'll go on the hunt for some pink embroidery floss. And then I have one other errand to run before I'll make my way home. (Just now it occurs to me that I probably need to get some gasoline, or the rest might end up being a short trip.)

Good morning, my friends. My night of sleep was short last night. It took me absolutely forever to fall asleep, but I was up at my usual time after just about 3 hours of shuteye. My mind was busy with everything I need to do, and there's no more procrastinating. Today, I really must start doing some packing. For the past couple of days, I've been doing some cooking and baking ahead. On yesterday's to-do list was to bake up these Chocolate-chunk Oatmeal Cookies with Pecans and Dried Cherries. Several years back, I scaled this favorite cookie ...
