Second baby quilt progress, winter concert, tote bags

Saturday I headed over to my brother's house to join the rest of the band in a road trip to Cleveland. The band had a concert, outdoors, for a winter festival. The wind wasn't too bad and we had sunshine which helped a lot!
I had bought a pair of Under Armour ColdGear leggings to wear under my pants and they worked great!  My legs did not get cold at all!
We had to carry the equipment quite a way to the stage. I got home at 8:30 (we left at 1:30 pm). I was sore and tired. I did receive a cute hat out of the deal!
I did get the rest of those tote bags sewn together to take to Cleveland. I am glad I had them because we needed them. So that is the first 13 bags for 2025. We are going to need a lot more! LOL!!
Sunday I worked on quilting that second baby quilt. It is 80% quilted.
I did laundry and made soup too on Sunday. My neighbor called to tell me his cousin loved the Harley quilt. Then he came over with a pair of ski pants and jeans that need some fixing. The snaps don't stay snapped on his ski pants. He took the snaps out so I can do my thing and put in a buttonhole for a jean style button.
The seam at the back of his favorite old jeans is showing signs of stress so I will be reinforcing them so they don't blow out.
Today we got instruction of what to do if ICE shows up. Ugh!!!

You got a lot done on Sunday! I'm glad your extra layer worked out at the outdoor concert. It's a good thing it was a sunny day.

it's always something, innit?!? the concert looks chilly, but fun!

cute winter boots can kiss my a$$ - the blatant lies about getting criminals off the streets and down to Guantanamo is bull$h!t - they raided a party here, arrested 50 people ... ONE!!! was undocumented - and was NOT a criminal ... in another case, they had a warrant for a person who wasn't at the listed address, but there WAS a brown man standing across the street on the sidewalk, waiting for his ride to work - they arrested him, no warrant, didn't even know his name ... i used to respect ICE - now they are a bunch of thugs with badges ... these two stories made the local news - how many are there that didn't?

You are dedicated! I'm not sure I'd have done the outdoor concert. I'm kind of a baby about the cold.

I’m catching up on blog reading. Glad to hear it wasn’t so terribly cold…hopefully your layers worked better than expected. Dale left a comment for Michael about hoping his aunt Patty wasn’t too cold, lol.
