The meeting last night went well; it was so nice to see everyone. We were all masked but I wasn’t happy with the distancing. I was at the membership table so only near to one person and we were at opposite ends of the table. I understand that someone else is taking over the 50-50 next month and the membership rush is pretty much done; at the next meeting I’ll be certain to spread out from everyone else. The big news, although I already knew it, was the move. Several of the ladies had already sorted out cupboards into what we were taking and what we had to get rid of. We were asked to see if there was anything on the “free” table that we wanted and that there were bundles of donated fabric for Community Quilts that we could take. I had donated our Tassimo coffee maker to the Guild when we stopped using it and I said I would take it back.

I came home without the coffee pot but with a bundle of fabrics – like I need more to do. Our first sewing weekend together will be for Community Quilts so I’ll get some cutting done and have something to work on. I have five CQ ready for sandwiching so I’ll take them along and have someone do that for me.

This morning, when I was making our coffee, I realized I had come home without the Tassimo. I contacted a couple of people who I thought might have keys and met Kathleen at the Church late in the morning. I brought the coffee maker home, along with two more fabric bundles. I am definitely crazy.

By the time I finished visiting with Kathleen, dropped a bag at the thrift shop and did a bottle return the morning was pretty much gone. And my clean cutting table from yesterday was again covered in fabric. I managed to sort out the bundles so they will work with my 3-Yard quilt patterns – for one of them I added some of my own fabrics.

It was such a nice day that I wanted to get outside to sandwich the two quilts I have ready. I was low on basting spray but I managed to get one of them sandwiched before running out; I pinned it a little more than I usually would but I’ll work on it right away so I’m pretty sure it will hold together.

Pat is involved in an online workshop tomorrow and Sunday; the instructors for the workshop are putting on a concert tonight so we’ll be watching.
