Spending The Day At Moms & Quilting!

This morning, I was up early. I needed to work on the QOV information on each veteran that we need to honor. I wanted to do what I could for Carol. 

Then it was time to head out to moms. I stopped and got some Chai tea while I was on the way. Thought about washing the car at the car wash, but decided I would do it on the way back. 

There were 7 of us. It was pretty good. I worked on the blue and white block of the month that mom has. I pulled out moms' patterns and got started. I needed to cut fabric for the first block. Decided to do each block as I went. I had to go back to figuring out the cuts for block #1. Then I ended up cutting some for other blocks as I went. Since there is a list of how to cut the fabric to get what I needed. 

I got these pieces ironed on the fabrics. I had to cut the freezer paper I did last time. Once all that was cut and ready for the first block, I was able to cut them out. I was waiting to go to Carol's to drop of the bag of information. So, that gave me time to prep the block for applique. I can now go next time and start appliquéing the block. Once that's done, then I can work on the next block. I didn't get out of moms till 2 pm. 

Headed home. I checked with Patrick on washing the car. He said we would go out and then he'd stop and get it washed. I figured what the heck. So, came home. 

These beautiful flowers were waiting for me. My son and daughter in law sent them. I'm thrilled to get them. 

If course, Sophie was waiting on me to sit down for attention, but we were leaving, so I wasn't going to sit anytime soon. She does that when she wants to sit in my lap. But we were getting ready to leave for supper. We headed over to Centralia and the traffic was awful! So, we took another way home, stopping to get the car washed. 

The weather is hot today. 88 degrees! Not my favorite. Patrick pulled out the fans for the bedroom and the living room. Not looking forward to summer with this kind of heat. I sat down to play on the tablet to find out it wasn't charge after about 12 hours. Guess I didn't hook it up right. 

I'm just glad I was able to be Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
