On Wednesday I was frantically printing patterns, packing for the lecture & workshop, and just running around like a chicken with its head cut-off. I ran out of 24 lb. papper and had to run to (actually I drove the car) Staples so I could complete the patterns. Then I started to work on packaging the supply kits to go with the workshop project and I didn’t have enough Peltex. Needless to say I don’t live in craft world central (maybe business world central) so this was a real problem. Luckily there was a JoAnn’s 1 mile from where I would be speaking so I was once again saved. (I now have a full bolt of it so this should keep me going for awhile.)
By the way, if you happen to go to Joann’s and forget your coupon – think about purchasing the magazine/booklet that Joann puts out. On the back cover are coupons, usually 2 – 50%; 2 – 40% off, and 2 – 30% off coupons. Needless to say, that paying $2.00 (+some cents) was well worth the 50% I saved on the bolt to Peltex. I figure that I came out ahead at least $30.00 head from my visit yesterday (And I still have some coupons left – that I will probably forget and leave at home).
I had a great visit to the Clamshell Quilt Guild. I love sharing The Legacy Lives On – Five Generations of Quilters. At times it amazes me that people actully pay me to do something that I enjoy so much. Then the fun just continued on Thursday when I taught the Hexabag workshop. There were eight wonderful ladies in the workshop. It was a delightful day. They worked hard and we had some good laughs.
On the way home I stopped in Branford, CT and joined Cher Hurney and Jackie Murphy (friends from QPN) for dinner. We went to Cher’s Country Club where we sat at a table that overlooked the water. It was a great dinner, the surroundings were great and the company and conversation was the best.
Now to clean the house – not much fun stuff to share about today (unless I do a reality post).
I don’t have anything scheduled as of now, but if there is enough interest I am up for it. Anyway intersted in a Hexabag workshop in the Westchester New York area?
Mary Anne, I just love your bags. Especially the purple and teal fabric. I think I just need to take a workshop. I want to leave with my bag completed! Are you giving one locally?
Not at all, looks like I would feel right at home!
are you embarrassed to know me now?
