Spent The Morning At The Fair

This morning, Patrick went golfing and I left early for gas and a Starbucks drink. Then headed to the fairgrounds. 

I arrived at the fairgrounds early. I decided to pay the $6 to get in. I have a couple tickets away I shouldn't have and decided to just pay the $6. Nancy was just in front of me when I got there. We were early compared to everyone else. It was nice, as we had plenty of time to get ready. I pulled out my feather weight sewing machine to work on some 9-patches. 

Nancy did the ironing, and I sewed the blocks. I think I got about 6 full blocks done. First, I had trouble with the tension, so worked on that. Even Kathleen came to help me. It took a bit, but we got it done. Then about the time Tim and Debbie showed up for the next section, the machine died. I couldn't get the foot petal to work. I may have to look for another one that will work. Chuck said he would look it over and see what he could do for me. Hopefully it's an easy fix. 

I picked up 2 pretzels on the way home. Patrick didn't want to do Panda, so we didn't. I feel bad about not going, but I'm hoping with all the advertising we did at the fair, we got a good amount of money. My little bit wouldn't matter that much. 

Came home and entered the 3 veterans that signed up. One was from FL, so we won't get that one. It will be interesting as to how many of them come back from the fair. Val marked the with an "F" so we can see how many we get back. We gave out a lot. I forgot to give out the flyer for Panda. 

Once I had that done, I pulled out my WILTZIUS family papers and sent them to Nate. Then I got busy on some pages I found while looking through the files. I started adding the information on the family from that. Then it was National News, so I called it done then. 

When I sat down, I pulled out my tablet and decided to play my games. I am getting caught up. 

I wish I had taken a photo of what I was doing. I decided to use all the same fabric and put 9-patches together, so that it runs together better. 

Debbie called to say she talked to the guy we gave a quilt to that is from Chehalis Tribe. We will work with him on getting the tribe involved. She then told me the gals there came and got the blocks I was working on and started putting them together. I'm happy they did. We should get more done faster that way. lol 

After a day I had, I'm just glad it was easy to be Happy Quilting/Happy Stitching!
