Whoops Wednesday

I didn't get any sewing time in yesterday... partly because of a pedicure appt right in the middle of the day and then running a few errands on the way home.  And partly because the water softener was supposed to be delivered ( postponed from Friday) - they called right after I sat down in the chair at the pedicurist and wanted to know if they could deliver today instead.... yeah, not a problem as long as you get here sometime this month.

Another reason was that for some reason yesterday my legs just did not want to bend when I wanted them to... they felt like wet sandbags from the knees down.  Much better today, though.

I got the backing for the first BB quilt loaded...
then went to grab batting and realized that I only have queen size and a couple smaller ones that are for wall hangings, etc.  I have lots of scraps but I don't want to sit down and try and piece enough together right now. 

I went online to see what Amazon might have since their shipping is pretty fast... they had several different kinds of batting including the Hobbs 80/20 that I was looking for - but none in twin size which is what I need; I don't want to have to cut one down. 

Since I ended up waiting ALL afternoon for the salt to be delivered (4:30 when they finally showed up) I decided I'd just wait and go down to the LQS to see what she has ( we get a guild discount on Thurs. which is a perk), but I don't think she carries Hobb's - not that I HAVE to have it - I just prefer it.

Anyway, I decided that since I'm sitting here in front of the computer and since I know where the pics are that I want, I might as well print out the labels I want to use on the BB quilts. 
Nothing fancy... just a pic of each member with my hubby and then a simple Thank you and our names, town, state and 2019 as the date since that's when I plan on giving the quilts to them.  Printed them out on paper backed fabric on my computer.  I don't really know what the life span is for labels like this, but I figure as long as it lasts long enough for them to put a name to my husband's face, it's enough.
btw:  he still doesn't have a clue what I'm up to or that we already have tickets to see the group in Jan.  :)

take care....

What to work on next

 I finished the two gift quilts - and both have been delivered to a parent of the little girl recipient. I have the requested photo from one...
