A Day Of Going To Olympia And Back

This morning I was up early. I enjoyed getting up early again. I wanted to fix the cross stitch piece so I could cross stitch without it falling out of the frames. Went downstairs and sewed a piece on the ends, so I could have control.

Then I was getting ready to see Cherrill when she called to say her daughter was here and put her socks on. So, I had an hour to enjoy for myself.

Headed up to Olympia for our Quilts of Valor meeting. I took a couple of books up for anyone that wanted them. Someone else brought some books as well. They will be presenting to another vet tomorrow at the court house. Donna called. She had some stuff for me to pick up. I told her I was already at the meeting and would stop by after. I had her pin and membership card. I dropped those off on the way home. Picked up some blocks and stuff for another member. I'll deliver those to Judy on Friday. Since I won't be able to go to the sew days.

Came home and worked on my cross stitching.


It's straighter than the photo looks. I fixed the ends that were coming out. I had to go back downstairs and stitch the ends again to keep it from coming out. I started on the top border piece. I only had about an hour to work on this. I finished the straight line of "x's" then started on the corner I'm going to try and do it at an angel but we'll see who that goes. I do better from the bottom, so MAY turn it upside down and try that way. No, don't think that will work with the pattern. Oh, well.

Patrick came home and we went to the casino to get our free baking pans. He got one and I got the other. They are muffin tins. They are heavy and really sturdy. I was surprised. Usually it's junk.

We went out to eat and came home by 6:30 pm.

So, now I need to get back to my stitching - want to get caught up on my SAL. Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
