Visitors Today & Quilting

 This morning, I was ready for Jo to show up. She brought her quilt she finished hand quilting for QOV. She needed a label. I gave her the 3 labels I had. She picked up a backing and batting for her quilt. I ended up giving her the 6 yards of fabric that we bought for the panels. She's going to use that for the backing. Debbie wasn't happy with me when I gave her that fabric. But it was the best for that quilt. We still have 3 yards of that fabric. I told Debbie to check with Gee Gee's to see if we could get a bolt from them. It's fabric we will be using for sure. 

Then I decided to work on the quilt panel I started on. Once I got started, I realized the stars wouldn't work on that panel because it would make it too big. So, I had to think of something else and hollered at Patrick to help me. 

He came up with this idea. I will do this on the bottom as well. Then I will end up using the printed fabric on the top and bottom with a thin strip on the sides. Once that is done, I will border it in blue or the green. I haven't decided which will work yet. At least it works. At first, I wasn't crazy about the idea, but looking at it in a photo, it looks better. I had to cut the printed fabric in pieces because 1/3 of the strip has the letters floating upward. The 2/3's have them straight. It just looked weird. 

I was doing all that before supper. At least I'm back to doing quilts. I need to see what I can do with getting this finished and moving along. We need more quilts. Panels need to be coming in again. Now that we have plenty, it will work. 

The gal that was supposed to come today around 2:30 didn't show up. So, I'm going to have to wait. Maybe she will drop them off at the museum. Hard to say. 

I had to get a few things done for Debbie since she's doing the meeting. I need to give her the bag with all the QOV stuff. She's working on her list of things to ask and talk about. I need to do the certificates. Debbie has stuff to drop off and pick up tomorrow. Patrick wants to go to the casino. So, it will be after all that. Don't know if I will get anything done tomorrow. But at least today, I was very Happy Quilting/Happy Stitching!
