Quilt in a Day Forums

Good morning,

We are getting a blizzard with up to 18" of heavy wet snow I don't know how this is going to play out with Bills dialysis but I'm sure the center will call me and tell me what to do.
Phones are charging I'm not going to panic I have food so we won't starve.
I finished my quilt top yesterday and it came out nice I put it on Facebook on the quilt in a day girls sight.
Today I will see what I can get into.
Well I hope you all have a great day.
Prayers go out to all.
Lois

Woke up to an inch or 2 of new snow...just as we knew it was coming,, It is pretty but cold we will be 32 today, We are supposed to go to Rykers hockey game today but Ken hasny said if we are going. it is an hour away and north of here,
Last night Liam's team had the heartbreak of the year. They scored the winning goal in overtime,,,and the ref decided it was not a good goal...( we have video that showed it a good goal) but the ref decision was to continue play and the boys lost their final game together,,,I have a very angry grandson...but what is done is done,, he is retired from hockey as of today,,,He will go on Monday and clean out his locker and return the equipment that belongs to the school...,School still continues but no more practices or games,,,we are sad too.
I will miss the big kid hockey but we stlil have the 10 yr olds to watch and they are getting better each game too....
I have 4 blocks more to hand sew on the Jane quilt...I keep at it...I laid out the graduation quilt and will work on that also...life goes on....hope you all have a great day,,,,
Lois hope you dont get all that snow...we are not getting much but I find they over predict..crazy as it sounds I would love to get snowed in here,,,Some really good memories are from being snowed in....soup on the stove or in the slow cooker fresh bread and a dy to relax...

Good morning. It's going to be a beautiful day today. We should see the mid 60's. Had the windows open for a bit yesterday, really hoping today will be the same.

Today is clean the kitchen day. I broiled a steak in the air fryer/toaster oven thing I have and because of the drippings it really needs a cleaning job. I wish there were a way to broil a steak without the mess. After that is done, I am going to play in my room, there are airplanes that need their wings so they can fly.

Tomorrow is Elliott day. I bought a pinwheel at HL on clearance. It is on a wooden stick and meant for the garden. I cut the point off the stick with the chop saw and will take it with me tomorrow. I want to teach him to blow on it so it spins. Also blowing is good practice for birthday candles that will come in September.

Lois, isn't it a good thing to know you won't starve? I saw your quilt on FB, it's really pretty.

Judi, sorry about the bad ref decision. Your grandson will remember this forever and tell his own kids about it one day. Hope you stay home tonight, sounds like an icy drive to the game.

Maryz, sounds like you are having a fun time. That craft store sounds really fun.

Lori, I like Jazz, it's peppy. What's new in your kitchen? did you find appliances you love?

Lyn, thanks for the Valerie update. Hope your friends have a nice visit with you and Garry, it will be fun to remember old times.

Shower, breakfast, kitchen clean up and sewing. In that order. The debate in my head is airplanes or ghost quilt, but I think the airplanes will win, I'll have to see what my brain decides when I get in the sewing room.

Dinner tonight will likely be the leftovers from last night. You all have an amazing day

Good Morning Friends

Showered and dressed.... was going to go get groceries but think I'll postpone until tomorrow since I have to go out tomorrow anyway---getting a hair cut finally. It's either get a hair cut or go buy pony tail binders.

Lois... .Oh gosh 18* of snow!!! You have my sympathy! Been there done that! Hope Bill is still able to get to his dialysis. Is he in a regular schedule, like 3 times a week Mon-Wed-Fri? Maybe they can postpone one day ?

Judi... Oh my goodness, that to be so heart breaking for Liam for his last game!!! Poor kid! I'm sure all his teammates are upset too. I'm sure there were a lot of very upset parents as well!! I agree, it's not always all that bad to be snowed in! Now that I'm retired I don't care! Though I do worry about the kids and grands driving in crappy weather. Also nice to snuggle in with soup and sandwiches!

Maryz.... The old sewing basket held about 20 spools of thread... some good, some the cheap stuff that I probably won't use. I'll throw that in a donation box. Not sure I'll keep the basket, it wasn't really in good shape--wicker and falling apart, legs came off. Sorry to hear Bob isn't doing so well, especially losing his beloved dog, especially so young. I'd love to go to Houston, I'm guessing it's the first weekend of November? Which just happens to be my birthday!!! Maybe if I start saving up $$$ now... I could pull it off.

Lori... Good news that your shot helped your shoulder! When I had Zara last weekend, I so wanted to take her for a walk, even just down the block, but I just couldn't make myself without carrying a box of Puffs all the way. Once it warms up again, I might just go get her and keep her for a few days for no good reason. OR I could just go the kids house and walk her over there.

Lyn... Thank you so much for moving my post !! I must have been on "Friday" and didn't realize it! I open the prior day window sometimes so I can check in with folks that posted after I did. I'll be more careful in the future! Sometimes it IS just the simplest things that confuse me ! Inside outside right side out! Did you do HANSON in stitching? If my embroidery machine was working I'd make you some embroidered tags to put in Garry's clothes!! Are you headed to Colorado soon Or going to wait until the chance of snow in the mountains wanes! Will keep the prayers going for Valerie---and of course you and Garry!

Chriss..... You didn't like the Fish fry? Our American Legion has them every Friday during lent. Every Friday it's a different charity that benefits from the proceeds. I do love a good fish dinner, in fact, probably more than steak. I wonder if I could get somebody to go with me some Friday night! Good Friday is the worst nite--it's packed then. With all the mess in Minnesota lately, I quit FB! I do check for "normal" stuff once in a while, but I avoid all the political crap!
So good to hear you are back in the sewing room. I'll meet you there in a few minutes!

Yesterday I cleaned house top to bottom (well not really as I have only one level) but I did floors, bathrooms, vac'd, dusted, cleaned kitchen! SO today I can sew guilt free! I'd love to start my sister's quilt, but I think I'd rather wait until I get my Janome back from the shop. (I'm going to call and check status on it tomorrow) When Joann was closing I bought up a lot of flannel, and had it stuffed in a dresser drawer. Think I'll haul that all out and cut up some baby bibs and burp clothes, just to keep busy with my Elna while the Janome is in the shop.

And then there's laundry..... so I'm off to refill my coffee and start the "dirties"
Wishing you all a very blessed day!

Good morning!

Home from church. It was a special meeting and Sarah picked the music. But somehow our Ward didn't pay attention to that and chose different music. Sarah was here last night , found out the goof, but we left it alone, because my organist needed time to practice. Well,, the Ward changed back to Sarah's list 30 minutes before we start,, and my organist was fine with the change. We pulled off all the changes and only us kmew the goof.. whew!

Not much here. Snow is all but disappeared. Maybe some next week. So I'm off to make brunch.

Judi - oh my what a heartbreaker! The boys have a memory, just not the right one!

Hugs,
Jana
