Lots To Do

What a day! I am exhausted—I needed to go to Hobby Lobby before I headed home, but I didn’t make it. I decided I was too tired. I will go by there this morning after exercise class. I did, however, make it as far as Popeye’s where I picked up chicken for supper. It was a good day to not have to cook. 

I forgot to take pictures of the new BOM. Maybe today, if I remember. I should put a reminder on my phone. I got a quilt quilted and bound. It’s a challenge quilt Marian made.

I think the challenge fabric was the floral. It’s a nice quilt, and as always, her work is darn near perfect. 

I got two small ones quilted for Rhonda, but I need to make binding for both of them and get it put on before I take pictures.

Betty had given me a top she made with the “Boys of the Bible” pattern. It’s 107” x 110”. I need a quilt for the Luther Fest auction, and bigger is better for the auction. I was planning to do this one

for the auction, but I can’t seem to find the time to get it finished. I decided I will quilt and bind the Boys of the Bible quilt and donate it instead. I asked Betty about it, and she said she will be okay with whatever I do with it. She gave me a three yard cut of wide backing that’s the right color, but it’s not big enough, so I spent the afternoon trying to make it bigger. Luckily, she had also given me the extra cut-offs from the quilt. I should be able to make it work.

I will be busy tomorrow working on binding some of the Poppy quilts for the Fabric Friends donations. One of the ladies texted last night and asked if I would also come to their shop on Saturday and help assemble poppy blocks. I will do what I can.
