This morning, I was up and moving. I wanted to go downstairs for a while today, but there was too much cleaning that needed to be done. I got laundry going, cleaned the litter box and then got busy in the kitchen. Debbie said she'd be here, and Patrick said he wanted to go shopping.
After all the cleaning was done, I headed downstairs since Debbie wasn't here yet. I thought I would just try something else.
I have a box full of 2 1/2" strips. So, I thought I could work on the stars that Georgie made. Since there are only 8 of them, I decided to do the 3 stars on top and bottom with the 2 stars in the middle. The 2 1/2" strips will be of the scrap verity. No right or wrong length. I will work it out as I go. I'm not a scrappy person, but I am going to try this. It's one way to use up strips and the blocks. I decided not to do the panel and when Debbie stopped by, gave it to her.
This is the panel that I was working on. She wanted to work on the one she had at the house. She had stars her sister-in-law made that went with the blue border, so I told her to take the blue and the panel. As for the strips above, I may cut them up to use them somewhere esle. For now, I will work on the scrap quilt.
On Tuesday Barbara is coming to pick up her check and also pick up 2 kits that I have ready. We have 7 quilts that need labels and I asked mom if she could fix the corners so that she can put the label in the binding as well. She said she would. I am taking 4 quilts to her, and will need to do the labels for the other 3 here. They machine bound the quilt, so I will have to hand stitch the label on. Phil working on labels for me and I need to order more. These will have the sponsored by part to them. I need to try and get more room between each label.
After Debbie left, we headed to Safeway and bought some food. We were lacking in a lot of stuff. When we got back we fixed steak that we picked up tonight. Then had instant mashed potatoes we picked up as well. It ended up being a really good meal. We hadn't had steak in awhile.
Once that was done, I sat and played on the tablet. I am so tired of watching "Funny Home Video's" because it's pretty much all the same. Plus the ones that win, their not funny at all!
After taking some time off from doing anything productive, I'm happy to say I was actually, Happy Quilting/Happy Stitching!
