This is going to be a busy, busy week. I’ve been working hard to get some items ready for sale at the show. I’ll be lucky if I get everything done that I have started.

I finished stitching the binding on the fabric basket I made. If it doesn’t sell I’ll have lots of places in my sewing room that I can use it.

I made two table topper wreaths with the pattern I used for Christmas. These ones aren’t made from Christmas fabric and, if they don’t sell, I’ll use them on our patio tables. I’ll take along the lovely candle that Elizabeth gave us for Christmas but I’ll have a big sticker on it that says “For Display Only”.

Today I cut and stitched four sets of placemats; I used a novelty panel and there are only two placemats in each set. I hope to get them basted tonight and I’ll work on quilting them at the bee tomorrow.

I have one more project I’d like to get done but I’m quickly running out of time. Somehow I ended up in charge of transportation from the ferry to the show and I’m having to go begging (again) for more drivers. This morning when I was out to the post office I picked up a lot of the odds and ends I need for the show; I’ll still have to do another run on Thursday.

Somewhere between now and Wednesday night I have to get my Cranberry Hall work done and reports written. I also have a Guild meeting on Thursday but if their reports don’t get done it will be because I’m working on other Guild things.
