I was supposed to be getting back to my quilting as soon as I arrived home but that hasn’t turned out to be the case. I had a great visit with Christy and her family; the weather didn’t cooperate all that well but we did get a few bits of sunshine so we could play at the park, explore the creek, and play some soccer (very badly on my part). The bus both down and back worked well, although it takes the whole day. I couldn’t help but think how proud Grandma McKnight (and her cronies) would have been at seeing Taylor (7 years old) managing to sort out her suits and runs in a card game very much like rummy (Phase Ten). It took a couple of days but Dylan and I were able to figure out the Minecraft card game I took with me.

When I got home I had several requests for Guild work that I needed to get done. I had a Guild order in at Staples, and I needed some coloured paper for sales tags for the Quilt Show. I had birthday presents to order and one present to purchase locally. I took my car for a bit of a run – down through Townsite, up through Cranberry, around Cranberry Lake and back to the shopping centre. Hopefully that will keep the battery charged enough for me to get to and from the bee tomorrow. I’ve done a few loads of laundry – in fact I think I still have one to go into the drier.

I might have considered skipping the bee tomorrow but the show coordinator has called for a meeting tomorrow afternoon. That will limit the number of things I can get done at the bee but I prepared three packages for cards as well as the sleeve and binding fabric for the quilt I’m working on. All of those things need to get done quickly and I’m sure they will be more than enough work to fill my time.

With what is left of the afternoon I’ll get at some quilting and maybe get another block done.
