It was even stuffed, but I made her promise not to enter it after an earthquake. There are some teetering piles at the back.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Saturday started at 6:30am. I got up, packed lunches for us all and went to get my sister from the airport. She lives in Portland so it is a short flight, but still makes for a long day. We drove 2 hours out to the storage facility. Mom was already there doing&#8230;.something. We aren&#8217;t sure what.&nbsp; We looked in all the boxes, found most of the stuff she wanted and cleared out enough stuff to save her some money every month.<\/p>\n<p>Then we drove back to the Bay Area, another two hours, got Lil Sissy some In &#8216;n Out (IYKYK) and took her to the airport. It was a long day and I was tired and sore the next day. I did a good deed, but that meant no sewing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Finished April 2026 Quilt Projects<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_66645\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-66645\"
