Hello Saturday - A Day To Get Ready

Today, I was up earlier than usual. I wanted to participate in the war game this morning. I did for a while then went with Debbie to get "coffee." We chatted about the Mariner's game and a few other things. Not sure what's going on with the museum, but I do know the funding has been lost. 

Came back home and headed downstairs. I needed to get ready for the sew days on Wednesday and had to pick a few things up. 

I got started. The blue bag there was emptied with more fabrics that were donated. I cleared off the table a little. I need to put the bolts of fabric somewhere so we can pull the table out to have sewing machines on. 

Took a "break" and went through the 4" squares that mom cut. I put them in sets of 4 & 5 for the 9-patches we will be working on. I have it set for 2 quilts at least. I don't think it will take long with a lot of quilters. We will make sure they set up the 1/4" seam allowance on everyone's sewing machine before we get started. 

I did put a few things away and still have more to do. I'm going to work on cutting for another quilt, so, that pile of strips on the end will be put for 6" squares. Or something to that affect. I will work on it later to decide how I want to do that quilt. I put my stuff away. I have a few things I want to do, but till I do what I already have to do, it will have to wait. 

Came upstairs after they dropped off our new chairs. 

It's Lazy Boy and comfortable. It's sort of smaller than our old ones, but it's taller. I didn't notice that since I can put my feet down. On the old ones, I couldn't do that. I really like it. Sophie is trying to figure out where her chair went. She was always in my chair. I only felt her climb up above my head and not in my lap. It will take time for her to decide if she likes it or not. The old chair had 2 pairs of my scissors in it. Patrick brought them back to me. Scott and Patrick put them in the garage for now. 

The rest of the day I played my games. It was hard on my back doing the work downstairs, but I will try again tomorrow to get it ready to be done. I want it done before Wednesday. I also need to get something for a potluck. I may do a casserole, since Patrick doesn't like those. I will see what I can come up with. 

In other words, I didn't get the chance to be Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
