P is for Packing and PIF....

It's very rare to find a quilter that doesn't give back to his/her community.  Eight of you entered and I wish I had 8 books as you all have such wonderful charities that you support...  I am so glad that I didn't have to pick....I let the random number generator do the job....

Please send me your mailing address and I will get the books on their way... 

Today is packing day.  There are three of us that car pool to the St Louis Modern Quilt Guild..  As we were heading home last meeting, Linda returned a phone call and to our horror we found out that her other quilt guild was short on people to round out their quilt retreat.  Nancy and I jumped at the chance to help them out..  I mean really...we are quilters, so we help our fellow quilters in anything they need, even if it means driving to another state and sewing for 3 straight days with others cooking for us....  So I am picking projects and doing some preliminary cutting..  I will also get the sewing machine cleaned and round up as many extension cords I can...  So far these are the projects I have ready..

1. baby quilt for great niece/nephew
2. apron for me
3. sewing bucket
4. solid challenge for MQG
5. pillow for Christmas present
6. hand stitchery project
7. circle applique charity quilt

there must be more as the big plastic box is stuffed full...   So off I go to finish packing the non-essentials...you know...like clothes and underwear ...
