This morning, I needed stop and get gas before heading to the Grange. I got gas and coffee for Sandy. Once that was done, I headed to the Grange. Sandy E had just arrived when I did. So, we chatted for a while. Then Sandy V arrived, and we had a good visit. Poor Sandy E wasn't in the mood to work on anything, so she chatted. Mom can in about 30 minutes after we did. It was a good visit, and mom had the baby quilt about half done already. She wanted me to draw the bunny rabbit. I haven't done a bunny rabbit in FOREVER. I used to do my dad's rabbits, but after a while quit drawing them. Now I can't remember and the rabbit I drew was awful.
I worked on my moss again today. Got 2 of them done. The needle and threads were set up to work on the next one, but I called it quits. I am happy with the way it's looking. I may get them done yet! They are taking a bit longer than I was hoping. But then again, they are fun to do. I was telling them about the silk threads I was thinking of getting. I think the silk threads will work on one I want to do. I will wait and see. Sandy V was working on a wedding initial for the ring barres (sp) pillow. It was pretty. She was using DMC floss and it really wasn't coming out as pretty as it could. I told her to get the silk threads in white and work with that. She changed the letters a little. I like the original initial that was on paper. She was changing it a bit. Most of it had satin stitches, and I think I would have done it differently, but Sandy is so good at doing that sort of thing. Chances are it will turn out awesome no matter what she does.
On my way home, I stopped a Colleens and gave her the 2 quilt tops to be quilted. I also gave her all the blocks I had from Georgie, Geralyn and mom. Those she can work on and may get quilts done faster with all the blocks. She told me the box that Connie gave her, had blocks in there too. I told her they were blocks that Connie was going to use in a scrap quilt like the other 2 she did. I guess Connie is giving back a lot of the stuff we gave her to work on. Trouble is, she has a ton more of our fabrics. I'm not sure if she is giving up on QOV or cutting back. I do know she is with Kristi and Val working on Linus Quilts. Which is fine with me. I gave Val a bag of quilt tops for Linus that was part of the stuff we got when we picked up the donation of fabrics. What we didn't take, the group for Madigan Army Hospital took the rest for quilts for veterans in the hospital. I really don't know who that's going, because I never was part of that group. Mom was in the beginning. So, Colleen was happy to see all that. I told her there is NO rush on any of it. She wanted to know if she could send some to her sister, and I told her that was fine. We love volunteers that help us with making quilt tops. Her sister and her are quick with making tops. I'm betting they will have a couple of them done by the end of the month.
Came home and pretty much played games. I wasn't in the mood for much. We watched a few shows we had taped. I wanted to watch a British show, but that wasn't going to happen.
I called my doctors for an appointment since I forgot to call 3 months ago and was supposed to see him next week. They told me they couldn't get me in, and I have to call next week to see if April's calendar is up yet. So, I'm probably in trouble for not calling sooner and getting in. Oh, well. Life goes on.
I've been busy for 2 days. I'm looking forward to relaxing tomorrow. Wednesday will be another trip to Olympia for medical stuff. Now I know why everyone retires - so they can keep going to the doctor for this or that! I feel like I'm back at work - but not going to work - going to the doctors! Such fun getting older!
At least today, I found the time to be Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
