I finally made it back to the Guild sewing bee today, but not before stopping at the Post Office to mail a package and the library to get those books returned. I was working on hand stitching today so it was a lighter load to carry in. I say “carry in” because I had to make two trips out to the car on the way home. A couple of the ladies were going through the Community Quilt scrap bins and had some fabric they wanted to get rid of. We knew that the High School was looking for donations so they filled up a big garbage bag. At the end of the day I volunteered to drop the fabric off at the school; I was headed in that direction today, tomorrow and the next day so I thought on one of those days I could stop.

I had some errands to run after sewing and the first stop (not a surprise) was at the Hall. I hadn’t checked the mail in awhile and I knew that some of our renters had dropped payments off for me. The mailbox was full, and most of it was money so that means I’ll need to stop at the bank tomorrow. On my way home I dropped off the fabric at the school and took a printer cartridge in for recycling. A quick stop for some baking supplies (I may yet get some baking done) and then a visit to the fabric shop. I needed backing for my next quilt and there was just enough of my first choice on the bolt. Hopefully I can get the quilt sandwiched over the next few days.

I thought I had made a small dent in my pile of paper yesterday but it seems to be multiplying as soon as I turn my back. I have a couple of meetings tomorrow morning that I need to prepare for and then I’ll work on the pile until supper. I’m enjoying my knitting in the evening.
