Thursday morning (6/30) Michael headed out
for 9 holes of golf with a friend of his (he came home with a 39 and was happy,
happy, happy!!), while I packed up multiple packs of those no sew fleece
blankets to take to quilting. It was
charity day for us and several people offered to help me start putting these
blankets together. Well…I totally
underestimated Diane’s managerial capabilities….so I ran home and grabbed 10
more polar fleece packages and she got people to complete them all!!!
WHOO HOO….they are all trimmed and fringe cut
and tied on all 4 corners…Diane & Pat will be putting together a group of
women in their pod to finish all of the tying.
And I can’t believe how many other people were at quilting,
industriously working on all manner of charity projects…it was great to see (of course a bunch are also hiding in the kitchen as there were LOTS of breakfast goodies being shared):
I stopped at the library on the way home to
pick up a new book….of course that was a mistake as all I did in the afternoon
was READ :~). We had pierogis for dinner (Mary Jo, the
brand is PAULINA”S…..they are excellent!) and after dinner I headed downstairs
for 1-1/2 hours to get a bit of sewing in.
After that it was snuggling with my honey and watching TV until bedtime.
Quilting is simply a great idea to party your time and invest your talent in something really creative. Last to last week, I also attended a similar event at venues in Houston and it was quite a great experience.
