Mom's Quilt Group Day

I got to mom to find Nancy adding the QOV stuff from Anne's to my car. There were 4 bags. Then mom was trying to find the pillow forms. I checked and she has them. I need to let Colleen know. 

I worked on my embroidery today instead of quilt stuff. I also checked with mom on getting Ethel's quilt ready to quilt. She wasn't happy with me asking because she was working on her baby quilts for her great grandchildren instead. Then she was also working on our quilt, which could have waited, but she wanted to get it going. 

 I am closer to getting this done. I need to work on the hair and finish the leaves or branches. Then I can add the beads and call it done. 

I worked on the funny looking branch/leaf on the left. The one sticking out. It was easy to do and was surprised it turned out. I will work on the other area soon. I need to add more beads and then calling it done. I hope. 

Came home early before lunch. Then we headed to the casino. Like I said before, we have money from the casino on Tuesdays and Fridays. It's a pretty good amount and I'm not going to pass it up. We played on their money most of the time and then played on it again after. We came home with $200 - so we have more than we took. It's not something I recommend to anyone, unless you have the money. We have the money because we don't spend it, and I am a saver. We have a few things on the list to fix or replace, so that will be coming as well. BUT we are not rich and yet we are not poor. This is entertainment for us, and we enjoy it. If I wasn't getting that extra amount of money on Fridays, we wouldn't be going. It will be interesting to see how long that lasts. If I don't want to play, I can cash it out and take it home. I am betting we may do that in a week or so, because going twice a week is a bit much for me. 

We were home by 6 pm. Then we just sat and enjoyed the music while checking his phone and me playing on my tablet. 

I need to get my "shit" together and get the Brazilian Embroidery paperwork and samples ready for Tuesday since I am doing a presentation. It's the old quilt group I used to go to. 

That being said, I was still able to be Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
