Embroidery Day - AND I DID Embroidery Today

 This morning, I had to collect everything for embroidery. I grabbed my embroidery bag and forgot my cross stitch stuff. 

First things first, I had to stop at the bank, then head to Dutch Brothers for coffee and tea. Then had to swing by moms to get the quilt that was done and give her the puzzle I took apart to return. She wasn't sure who she had to return it to, but she'll figure it out.

Mom wanted to show me the quilt she's hand quilting. This is the piece that we worked on together. She's really enjoying this. Found out while I was there, we have a baby show for my niece down south. It's a 2 hour drive for us here. Mom is going to want to go because it's her favorite. I don't want to go 2 hours and then have to stay 1 hour and back home. It's an all day thing for me. It's in April, so we will have to wait and see. 

 Arrived at the grange about 3 mins late. Not bad considering I was running late. 

Geralyn and I chatted and worked on our stuff. She was stitching the stars I gave her last time and I was working on my hummingbird embroidery. 

I worked on the leave up top. I was surprised I got as many as I did, done. It felt good. But I'm really not crazy about the instructions. I do love the piece though. It won't get done anytime soon. 

As I sit here typing this, the wind is blowing, and I hear the trees moving. There is something outside that is moving around as well. Guess we have a warning, so it will be interesting tonight. 

After leaving the grange, I met up with Colleen and Debbie. We talked about what's going on with the quilts. I brought 3 home that are done, gave Colleen 3 more. Plus, I want to get mine done, so may be dropping it off next week. All depends on my foot. We figured out the meeting for QOV is when Patrick has his MRI and CT scans. So, Debbie is going to handle it for me. 

Came home after getting the car washed and stopping off at Safeway and Phil's. By that time, I was tired of all the running around. So, I played on my tablet. I was thinking I should plug my tablet in and stitch and realized it was time to call it a night. Patrick reads for a bit and I listen to my books and play more.  Patrick wants to go to the casino tomorrow and I asked if we could go to Ilani down south. He was okay with that. I know he wanted to go to Lucky Eagle but I want something different. Plus a couple game are there that we can't get up here. 

Even though it was a busy - running around - day, I was glad to be Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
