I wasn’t able to finish my cards last night. It turns out I can knit and watch subtitles but I can’t sew and watch them. I finished off a scarf and thought my knitting basket was empty but when I looked today I see that I have enough in there for another scarf and a hat. I was looking forward to finding a new project but I’ll wait until these two things are finished.

I had to (emphasis on had to) go out to the quilt shop this morning. They have been collecting money for a farewell gift for one of our quilters and I’m responsible for creating the gift certificate and transferring the money to the quilt shop in Castlegar. I’ve been working on the gift certificate and once I knew the amount I was able to get it sent to Staples for printing. In cases like this I really miss having a colour printer. But I had quite a few quilting pages that were waiting to be printed so I sent them along too. I’m way behind in keeping up with my project book but maybe this will get me back into it.

I finished off the morning by stitching the binding on the cards. They will be ready for the mail next week or, in some cases, the following week. I decided for the rest of the day I would do some sorting out and tidying up in my sewing room. I got about half-way around but now that I’m at the cutting table I have more than a day’s worth of fabrics to sort out, trim up for scraps and put away in various bins and cupboards.

It looks like I’ll be at it most of the day tomorrow.
