Away From Home Today

 I had to be other at the Grange by 10 am. I was running late, but still made it in time to meet with Sandy's daughter. She brought a friend along and he help with getting the rack set up. We are doing a display for our Brazilian embroidery group. So, we had some displays of our work. The grange has a craft fair this weekend, so we wanted to be able to display our work and have the information of the group. 

We started out with the frame work and then started with the display. Laura did an awesome job of working on this. 

This side has the smaller pieces and the leaflets to take. 

This had the 2 bigger pieces. 

We had this as well. The quilt shows how we can use quilting and embroidery together. 

I was there for about 2 to 3 hours. I chatted with Alice and gave her $10 for letting us do the display. She's going to keep an eye on it. I left after this was done. 

Went to the Veterans Memorial Museum to drop off the quilts I put labels on yesterday. Then I helped Sam with counting the pounds of all the candy they got in. We were betting it was about 500 lbs. I bet we were close. I didn't stay to see how many pounds we had. 

Came home and sat. After supper, I worked on Smiley's paperwork. I have him all set with the information on the quilt requests. I've got his booklet all set. He can check on it when I tell him who's up for receiving a quilt. That took some time. Then I decided I just want to listen to my book. Trouble is Patrick has my tablet to get my point for the casino game. Which means, I'm playing on my laptop and will have to wait to listen to my book. Oh, well. I also had to get some scraps and fabric ready for Georgie. Then I emailed Sue to see if she was using the fabric I sent, and if she wasn't, I could use some back. We ran out of our tan fabric now. I haven't seen a lot come back with those in the background, so I'm getting a little concerned. 

As much as I wanted to be happy working on my crafts, today just didn't turn out to be one of those days. I can wish that I will be back to being Happy Quilting/Happy Stitching!
