Between now and Sunday I have several meetings to attend and write reports for. The first one is a regular Cranberry Hall board meeting tonight.

I started my day out in the yard; Pat had an appointment this morning so I was left unsupervised. I had a corner of the yard that I was determined to get weeded but also determined not to spend too much extra time at it. I started early but finished up right at 11 AM which was the plan. After a shower I sat outside with my coffee and read a couple more of my quilting magazines. It seems odd to me that the patterns I marked at the time I got the magazine don’t necessarily appeal to me any longer; these first two magazines had Sunbonnet Sue and Joe in them and I think I have enough of those patterns in other books. However, I marked a couple of articles that I didn’t even notice before; one on needle-turn appliqué and one on quilting patterns using circles; those ideas will work well with my rulers.

Before stopping for lunch I finished up the reports for my meeting tonight. There was a message on the phone from when I was in the shower and I hadn’t noticed it. The fabric shop was calling to tell me I had some patterns in. I stopped in after lunch and I also had a $25 reward card waiting for me – I won’t tell you how much I spent in order to get that reward. What to do but bring home another lovely pattern book full of skinny wall hangings. I also found some lovely fabric in the 50% off bin.

I’ve been working on a cross-stitched card this afternoon and I’ll continue with that until it is time to head out to our meeting.
