This morning I needed to get a few things ready for mom. I had a list of stuff that needed to be done. First I had to go get gas. I went over to Love's because I had the "Up" app that saves me money. I got over there and it was busy. I finally got to the gas tank and as I was filling my tank, something went weird and the station stopped pumping gas. It only put 7 gallons in the car and wouldn't continue. So, I tried again on the same station. Nope, nothing would register. I decided to go to another tank and pump there. I did and it filled up 4 more gallons. I didn't know what happened, but it drives me crazy when stuff like that happens and I stand there looking like an idiot.
Next stop was moms. I got on the freeway to get to moms and a car was on my tail! I was going a little over the speed limit but that wasn't fast enough for the car behind. It took me 5 miles to get him off my tail. UGH.
Got to moms and was one of the first. I took the scraps I had. Mom was working on a couple spots on the quilt that were darker. She washed 2 of the 3 with soap and water. That fixed the problem. Bob will pick it up after Monday. She had to show everyone the quilt before he could take it.
One can see how big this quilt is. 116"x116" for a queen size bed. Actually, would fit on a king too. I worked on my butterfly while I was there.
This one is done. I just need to work on the next 2. I used 2 strands of thread. I didn't want to do it with one because DMC isn't very strong when it comes to using 1 strand. I will trim it and put it on the piece after it's done. I still have 2 more butterflies to work on.
We had lunch and I realized I needed to get going. So, I rush out to go to the vets for Zeva's medication. I dropped that off at Phil's.
I headed home where Patrick was waiting. We went up north past Olympia to the BBQ place. We hadn't been there in a couple years even though it felt less than that. I got a sandwich (BBQ) and Patrick got the ribs. He really liked the ribs. We ended up bringing stuff home because it was way to much.
We then went to the casino and spend a couple of hours. We lost money but the whole idea was to enjoy ourselves. We didn't worry to much about the money. Since we really don't do much, this was entertainment for us.
Came home around 7 pm and watched TV. I listened to my book and worked on the binding of the quilt. I am now down to the last side of the quilt. I will finish it this weekend. Even though I plan to work on a couple quilt tops. That will keep me busy and Happy Quilting/Happy Stitching!
