Hello, Saturday - Meeting Day

This morning, I was ready for our meeting. I had to vacuum downstairs so we could have a clean area to have the meeting. I usually don't do much down there. I can be lazy about vacuuming and dusting downstairs. 

Our meeting went well. I have a few things I have to do and get answers back to the people working on the projects. I also have to get moving on the wreaths they want for the Bazaar. Not what I'm happy about, but the group wants to do this. I passed out some wire wreaths for them to get started on. Colleen and Val showed everyone what they needed to do. It was a really good meeting, so can't complain. Just took a couple hours. lol 

After everyone left, I worked on cutting fabric for the wreaths. Colleen took all the ones I cut the last few days, which I was shocked about. But she has done so much, that I let them go. I waited on Jo to come and get some backing and batting for her quilt. When she arrived, we had a good chat. Got the fabric ready for her and it's a go. She has till June to get the quilts back and I am not worried. Gave Debbie the 250th panel that she wanted. Still have 2 more panels here. They may end up with me making those. We can wait and see. 

So, I didn't have this to work with. I did cut a few more that I have downstairs. Then I decided to do a purple one. I have plenty of purple in my "stash" that I want weeded down. So, I cut purple after Jo left. 


Of course, Sophie had to be a part of that. She kept getting in my way of cutting. Then she finally went to the plastic and sat on it. I can't win. 


I brought the purple up to get started and she decided to climb in the box. Then she put her tail in the fabric! You can see it under some of the purple. I couldn't believe it!


Before supper, I was able to get this much done. The colors look better in the photo. It's a neat little wreath so far. I'm not quite at halfway but it's going fast. 

I have this much done, almost halfway. It's easier than I thought and it really just take time to do it. Almost as if one was doing the binding on a quilt, about that same amount of time. I need to cut more fabric and will do that tomorrow. I may take it with me on Monday to work on. I'm sure mom will have me cut some pieces for her. Who knows. I have red, white, and blue cut, so chances are I will be doing another one before calling it done. 

As much as I was thrilled to be working on something - I was too busy today with everything. I still have things to do for BE and our group. Too much work between the two. I really am not in the mood to do all this work. But it needs to get done and I can do it. That should keep me Happy Quilting/Happy Stitching!
