Pat came across on the ferry this morning as a walk-on. He had some meds to pick up and some books that had arrived for him so I met him at the ferry and gave him his bag of stuff and a ticket for his return trip. From there I went to the post office and mailed George’s bandana to Taylor; I had a label for Taylor so she will get the package.

Today was a UFO day and I finished up the mystery quilt that I’ve been working on with Deloise. I think there might be one more clue coming so it may not be done yet.

I have the clue for the next Hex-along part and I got the papers cut and the fabric picked and cut. They always look simple when you see them in the photo – time will tell if it really is as simple as it looks.

Next up on the UFO list was to cut out some Aida cloth for more of my cross-stitched quilt blocks. I have 9 blocks done and I thought I might be near finished but when I counted this morning I have 14 more to go. My choice of fabric here is very limited; I found a lavender cloth but it isn’t exactly what I want to use if I don’t have to. I think I have more scraps on Texada so I’ll look there before I cut into anything.

After lunch I went out to Gail’s (where I normally went for my Thursday sewing group). Gail was Secretary for the Guild but she has decided not to return this year and I was asked to pick up the records from her so they could be passed along to someone else (not me). While I was there I brought home my sewing machine and my long-ago Thursday project. I don’t intend to go back to my Thursday group or my Tuesday Guild bees for the foreseeable future.

Tonight I’ll be off to a parking lot meeting for the Guild. It is the first of the season and we still have no idea when, or if, we will get back into the Church. It was a lovely day today so even though we probably won’t wrap up until after dark, it shouldn’t be too cold. Although I’m not actually on the Membership committee I was asked to help out. I suspect many of our quilters won’t want to pay their membership dues until they find out if we can even run a program this year.
