I just talked to someone on the phone who loves the heat. She’ll be happy today as the temperature outside is 29 degrees and feels like 36. I don’t know what I’m doing still upstairs, except that Pat is on a Zoom chat and I kind of thought I could wait it out. I’ve got a fan going but it really isn’t helping a lot. Or maybe it is and it would be even worse without it.

I’ve been working a bit on my Sashiko project while I hide out in the basement so at least I’m not totally wasting my time. I really feel like I need a finish or at least some measurable progress on something. To that end I decided today to make up some blocks for the backing on a quilt. It was going good while I had larger pieces of fabric but I’ve spent a lot of time sewing bits and pieces together and I’ve yet to complete a block.

I’ve finally managed to find a date and time for my first Guild Program Committee meeting. I had been sending out e-mail messages but sat down this afternoon and made a phone call to everyone. I’m pretty sure I have enough ideas to fill the year so it will be a matter of us deciding when we do the classes and demos and who will lead them. I’m also thinking that some of them might have a class they would like to teach. The copyright issue keeps cropping up so we also need to come to some agreement on how we will handle it – mostly for our Block of the Month program.

Okay, this job is done and I’m heading to a cooler room.
