What A Day!

Today is BE day. At least we meet at moms, so if no one comes I can spend time with her. Today we had 4 of us. Geralyn couldn't make it but will be there next week. 

I arrived after going to get my car washed and some tea. I got tea for mom as well. She had tea in her hand when I arrived. So, she didn't get to it till after they left. I worked on the baby block that needs to get done. I will leave it at moms after next week. 

 I have more to do, but it's coming along. I will tie done the tongue later. I forgot my backpack at moms, so I didn't bring it home to work on.  

Mom wanted to go get a chair for her bedroom but that didn't work out. She called the dentist, and they got her in right away. I went to Colleen's to drop off quilts for her. Mom gave three that were finished. Colleen gave me one that was finished as well. We chatted about the quilts, and I told her right now I need the panel quilts to get done first. She said she will do that. I think she said she had a panel on the quilt frame but not sure. I gave her two of them - the ones I did. I showed her I have another one on the wall and will get that to her in the next week. Mom called while I was there. I didn't answer, so she called Colleen and since she didn't know the number, she didn't answer it. Mom called again and I picked it up to find out she has to have an emergency root canal done on the tooth. She may lose it. Told her to schedule it. They wanted her today, but she didn't want me to go back and get her to go up. Thank goodness, because it's in Olympia. So, I told her to let me know. 

Came home and told Patrick. He said he would take us up there. I called mom to find out when and she didn't know yet, so after about a half hour she called and was scheduling it with me on the other phone. We take her up on Wednesday because tomorrow is full. 

We ate pizza for supper, and it was early enough. Patrick told me I could go down and work on the quilt for a bit. At least it would help get it done sooner. So, I went down AFTER I put names on the four quilts and put them in the stack to go to the museum. 

These are by Tri Cities QOV. 

Which are really pretty. 

Once I got downstairs, I cut the fabrics and was wanting to sew them more than cut the fabric. Go figure, that from a person who doesn't like to sew. I even told Colleen that the flying geese was way too much work for me. 

I cut more fabric and then got three more blocks done. I have those done and will work on the others when I get the time in the next couple days. Every little bit of time helps. I may have to cut more fabrics as well. We will see. At least it is coming along, and I really do like the blocks. They are so easy to do! I may have a couple sets of these blocks ready for sew days later this month. Everyone will like how easy they are to do. I am actually having fun with this one and may do that same block on another panel. Too much fun for me! 

That's what really makes me Happy Quilting/Happy Stitching!

A Cold Day! BRR

This morning, I slept for a bit longer. Patrick was up and waiting on me. He wasn't in a hurry, but he was waiting for me to get up and ...
