Quilt in a Day Forums

Good morning,
It's early here and it's a cold start to the day but it's suppose to warm up a little .
Today is to the store to get food then to the pharmacy then home.
I finished the wash yesterday so today when we get back I will do a little clean up and then cut out the rest of the third be a elf quilt and sew.
The fish was terrible so I don't think I will buy that again.
Dinner will be hamburgers and onion rings.
I hope you all have a great day.
Prayers go out to all.
Lois.

Good morning It is cold here also. we are at 15. No new snow. I have a grocery order to pick up and a meat order, Then i will spend some time putting up all that food. I vacuum seal the meat in serving size portions and wash all the veggies and fruit . it takes time. After that I will sew a bit...it will be my reward for getting this stuff done. I am thinking of putting a pot roast in the instapot for supper. with carrots and potatoes. we havent had that in a long time. if I dont get to that it might be breakfast for supper/ Depends on how much I feel like cooking as apposed to how much I feel like sewing...we shall see.
I need prayers for my niece,,,She has been put on the transplant list for a liver. She was readmitted tot he hospital last night, ( third time in a month) Her liver failure is severe they said. She is 44 and my brothers only child. I have witnessed the answer of prayers here with this group.
Off to get coffee and head out. hope you all have a fun day,,,,XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Morning
Judi I will keep your niece I'm my prayers.
Yesterday took Joe to see spine doc. He has pain in shoulder and arm that ortho guy says is from narrowing of cervical vertebrae. Spine guy says narrowing not bad enough to cause his pain. So he ordered shots to nerve. If it helps he says then we can think about surgery. If shot doesn't help, then ortho needs to get off their butt and fix shoulder tear.
Today is back to weeding blackberries. Between today and tomorrow I should get it done.
Have a great day.
Flo

Good Morning Girls

Nice sunny day here!! Now if it would just warm up to oh, say 70* or so, that would be perfect! But I think we are long ways off from that!

Lois... Sorry your fish was so terrible. What kind did you get? I do love good fish, tho not a fan of lobster or crab so much. When I go to Sam's I usually grab a big bag of their Talapia! That's one of my favorites--or salmon. When you do laundry, do you find there's always that last load that never makes it out of the dryer? I often forget it, then find myself running from my bedroom to laundry room (other end of the house) to grab something to wear!!

Judi... Oh my gosh, you know I will most definitely add your niece to my prayer list!! 44 is so terribly young to need a liver transplant. Any chance of a family member able to donate a part a Mary suggested? Do you use your instant pot often? Once upon a time, like 100 years ago I had a pressure cooker and used it to can beans, but I cooked a roast in it once and I have to say it was one of the best meals I ever fixed! Not sure I'd use one much now since it's just me, but a roast sounds delicious! Almost bought a small one the other day, but thought I better talk to the bank about a small loan first.

Flo.... SO sorry Joe is going through all this back and forth with doctors... it has to be so frustrating to be in pain and not able to get good answers. Does he have to go through the VA for all this or can he seek out his own Drs. I know the VA has some rules.

Maryz... St. Cloud to Mankato is about 75 miles and depending on the route you take any where from 1:39 to 2:04 to get there. St. Cloud is NW of me, Mankato is SW of me. The kids have completely re-done the lower level of the house, Painted, ripped out walls, all new laminate flooring, completely gutted and re-done the lower bath. Kris did most of the ceramic work in there--and put heat coils in the floor. All new windows in the whole house, new curtains and drapes. New washer/dryer, new stove. They are talking about totally gutting the upstairs and moving walls. My old living room is now their dining room. Lots different and I love it!! Love that pattern for Drew's quilt ... I might have to borrow it sometime as I have a tote box full of gorgeous oriental prints--might even be one or two I bought in Gig Harbor!! (eeks 10 years ago???)

Diane.... In case you stop by .... As I lay me down to sleep last night I couldn't help thinking and praying for Laura and Nick and hoping that all went at the Dr and the Social Worker. Hopefully they will be able to put together a good plan for him. How did your scan go?

Lyn..... Thought of you guys last night too, as you are often in my thoughts and prayers.

Lori.... Appliance shopping? Did you find what you were looking for?

Chriss.... How's our little Elliott! Did you have another best-day-ever day?

Yesterday I finished up all the baby bibs--25 of them from some flannel I picked up at Joann before they closed. They will go along to Bundles of Love when I make more little quilt tops for them. Friend Peggy is coming over for coffee in a little while and to check out my stash of interfacing to make a hat for her great-granddaughter Perri-age 3. Not sure what my afternoon will bring. I cut out some fabric just for the heck of it, another one of my little kits I had set up. I really wish they would call and tell me that my Janome was all good to go... I'd grab Peggy and we'd go pick it up. She likes to ride along on my adventures!

Wishing you a great day and may you all get a little time to sew!

Good morning all y'all!

We're warmer than Maryz this morning! And will be warm this weekend. I have Ethan coming tomorrow for his PE class workout. He'll get rid of the weeds in the tulip patch. I like this pE class, I get stuff done and he gets credit hours. A win win!

Mr G's appointment went well. Because of the stent surgery, the cardiologist wants to wait until May, before we do anything. So we will.

I have a couple of short loads of laundry to do. Then play. My Christmas elves finally took off the lights and stored them away. In the rest of the year, they do windows, so I am calling them for quote. My windows really need help! Just when, spring it rains, summer it rains, fall, what's the use, time to see out is over and winter, the outside water is off, so what to do?

Off I scoot,
Hugs,
Jana

It's a beautiful morning with birds singing and feeding. Minnie and I are sitting on the back porch. I'm in my robe and enjoying my coffee. It's 65, but feels like 71.

Lois, I will try and send some warm weather your way.

Judi, Prayers for your niece. MaryZ's comments about gluten free sounds like something worth trying.

Flo, That's a chore, but I bet the Blackberry crop will be worth it. I hope the shots give Joe relief.

Lori, When we remodeled the Estes Park house winter of 03/04, Garry told people he took me out to dinner every night. They thought that was so nice, until I said, Yep, right outside the door to the slide in camper where I cooked. As for appliance shopping, Garry wanted all the Bells & Whistles, saying we were only remodeling once. He wanted a hood vent with heat lamps and racks to set food on. I said I'd never use that. Boy, was I wrong. I love it!! Making pancakes when family visits, put them on a plate under the lights as you cook more. I even warm up our plates, in winter, cause there in a cabinet on the outer wall.

MaryZ and MaryQ, Jim and Carol are probably pulling into the Arizona destination today. Truth is, I don't remember where they said they were going, but I hope they have a good time. They will be there for a month before heading back to Minnesota, and they won't be coming this direction. They have stayed at the Lakeway campground, back when it was the old name.

MaryQ, I appreciate your prayers!
If I get the neck pillow figured out, that some quilt ladies at a Baptist church made, I will send you the pattern. It has been the best thing ever. If it's not behind Garry's head, it's to one side to prop up his shoulder or head.

I had some paperwork and medical bills to pay yesterday when I got home. Minnie really wanted to sit outside. So, I plan on porch sitting this afternoon and go through some of the magazines. It's really a small world. Minnie is out of Heartgard and Nexgard, so I called Chewy.com. When I told the man who my Vet in Colorado is, he said, I know Dr Fish quite well, I lived in Blackhawk and took my animals to him and we had lots to talk about since we're both from Texas. The man is back in Texas helping out is elderly parents.

Hope y'all have a good day. Sending up prayers for needs here.
Lyn

Good beautiful morning. We should see 70 or more for the rest of the week. This girl will have her windows open and let the fresh air in. Gosh it will be wonderful.

Yesterday I went with some friends thrifting. I found a couple of tops, which is what I usually buy,I also found a bag of toys at the good will that had a couple of little chubby hand sized airplanes. I haven't opened the bag to see what else was in there but those planes were the find of my day.

Seems this week has been full of stuff. Monday and Tuesday were Elliott days. Had I known they wanted me Tuesday as well as Monday I could have spent the night, but my dog was in the house. Elliott really wore me out. I slept 8 1/2 hours Tuesday night. I am liking that drive more and more.

Yesterday the parents were here. Dad took the tires off of my riding lawn mower, seems I had a flat, he is doing whatever, he will get it back in working order again. While he was here, I believe Judy polished off the rest of the dog treats. Not sure how many were actually in the treat jar but I'm thinking 10? I taped a note on the jar that they are for the dog and not people.

Today is catsup day. Or is it Ketchup? either way things will get done and I have an increasing todo list.

Judi, prayers said for your niece. She is now on my list.

Maryq, my friend Debbie is like your friend Peggy. One of us will say lets go and off we go. It's nice to have a friend who is always ready.

Lori, will you purge and pack, purge and unpack or just pack and unpack. Either way it will be fun to go through all the cupboards, bet you find stuff you wonder about and stuff that you've been looking for.

Lyn, your sitting on the porch with coffee, magazines and Minnie sounds wonderful.

I need to open up the house and get dressed and start moving or nothing will get done. Dinner, I think I will steal Lois's idea of burgers. No onion rings but I will have grilled onions. If I am going to dirty one pan I might as well dirty two.

You girls have a wonderful day, enjoy every minute of it.

Chriss
