This morning, I was up and ready to leave when Debbie got here. We were going to Gee Gee's for some fabric to go with the quilt Debbie is making for a friend. She needed a "background" fabric for the T-Shirt's that she has. There wasn't much, so she really doesn't have much to go by. He liked fishing and baseball. Since he's passed, this is a memory quilt for her friend. I picked up a true-blue fabric. It's amazing how hard it was to find. There are so many different blues that just don't work for me. Then we went to another quilt shop she found off the beaten path. It's in a barn. I remembered getting my T-shirt from them a couple years ago. Now I know where it is. Not easy to see, but a nice shop. I got some rotary blades there because I needed some and forgot to look at Gee Gees.
On the way home, mom called and wanted me to pick up the quilts she took to put labels on. We did and took them to the museum. We asked about the WWII veteran that was in the paper. They didn't know about him. So, they will check on it.
Came home and I pretty much took the rest of the day off. I have the fabric for the stars, and will work on that this weekend. I'm going to put the two stars together and work from the center out on the quilt.
I had to buy the blue fabric because I don't think I have enough of what I was thinking of using. The red I do know I have. As for the white, plenty of that too. I will do the center part of this, and then do the stars on the top and bottom. Then I can put it all together. First, I need to work on the strips. Once the center is put together, I can work out and then up and down. I know I'm crazy when it comes to how I do things, but it works for me. I won't be able to do anything on this till Saturday. It can wait, now that I know what I'm doing.
Debbie G contacted me and asked about the floss since I thought it was Nova and it was actually Boucle. So, I ordered the right stuff to fix it and the yellow she had in Boucle was perfect. I will wait and see. I want to have it here in time so I can work on it by next Friday.
With all this stuff going on, it doesn't give me much time to be Happy Quilting/Happy Stitching!
