Quilt in a Day Forums

Good morning

Yesterday was mostly fruitful. We found the RV shop and Bill was able to get two new matching feet for the front legs of our fifth wheel. That was the most important thing. Then we found the Quilt Shop I had visited a year ago, Thimble Towne, and I guess I took a break from good sense. I bought the mini “sew kind of wonderful” ruler “, two wall hanging patterns, and all the fabric to make them. This ruler is the smaller version of the one Valerie is using right now to make her starry night (nativity scene) quilt. I made that quilt last year. I don’t know what’s gotten into me. I guess I just am missing sewing.

Our last stop was to fill the truck with diesel. $6.89 a gallon which is pretty much the going rate here. We have seen a few stations at $7.09 fir diesel and our Gas Buddy app tells us that the Chevron in Needles where we usually fuel up is $7.49 a gallon. We won’t be using that station this trip. Gasoline is about a dollar a gallon cheaper.

Jana, the more Weather reports we hear the gladder we are that we chose the route we chose.

Carol, yes the oranges are ripe and plentiful this year. Last year at this time they were sparse and still green. Last year there were a lot more campers here though And maybe they picked them all before we got here. We figure the price of fuel is keeping people home this year. It would be keeping us home, too, except for Autumn.

Lori, is Jonathan spending Thanksgiving in Utah? Are you just learning to knit or just don’t do it very often? I learned basic knit and purl when I was a kid but just haven’t been able to pick it up again in adulthood. I prefer crochet and can crochet simple things, like a long string. Lol!

Becca, A knit hat had to go with your quilt will be a crown on your quilt gift. Speaking of crowns, I hope your appointment wasn’t too difficult. Most people have trouble keeping the temporary crowns on, rather than getting them off.

Today will be another long day but good driving. The scenery doesn’t change much crossing the Mojave but the road is good and no big cities.

Dinner will be reheated leftover lasagna and a salad. What are you having?

Good morning everyone!
I had to take care of bills, balancing checkbook and a bunch of sorting paperwork yesterday, it took me most of the day and I still have to do 2 more things this morning.
Mary, that's ridiculous on the diesel and gas prices, diesel here is $4.49 at the 5R truck stop, easy access for your 5er....gas here is $3.49. Hopefully it'll stay there or lower by the time you get this far.
You'll have those wall hangings whipped up in no time! I bet you had a fun shopping outing.

I need to be in my sewing room and start wrapping in another room....I really need a clone at this time of year.

I think we'll have chicken tonight but not sure what else...
Tina

Good Evening,

Today was a Disney California Adventure for me so dinner was Chicken Pot Pies.

Maryz - Gas at the corner station is $5.49, but at Costco it was $4.69/gal. Glad you got all the parts and were able to drive through the Mojave Desert today. I have the Sew Kind of Wonderful Ruler, but have only made the Pineapple Quilt.

I just read that LA County is recommending masks for indoors. I did put mine on today when I was on an indoor ride. I met a lady from Floriday who said they had Covid in June and still do not have their sense of taste back. DH and I never lost ours. I think the difference was Paxlovid. Even having it with a rebound is better than losing sense of taste. She said they had been to five doctors and no one can help.

Becca - So, so glad you have found the acupuncture helpful. You need all the help you can get.

Lori - Hope you had a successful meeting today.

I will be sewing this evening.

Carol
