On Monday I was at Firefly sewing all day on the raffle quilt for the show. At first I was thinking we wouldn't be able to get much done, but by the end of the day I was really happy with the progress. I think one more good day of sewing will finish the top.
Amelia spent the day with grandma while I was sewing. I know they had a lot of fun. So much in fact that she didn't want to take any naps for grandma and she was ready for bed when I picked her up at 7:30.
Tuesday was another sewing day. It wasn't quite as long as Monday and had a different purpose. We hang bed sheets on poles as a backdrop for displaying quilts for the show. In years past we have safety pinned all of those sheets. Do you know how long it takes to hang 70+ sheets with safety pins and make sure they are somewhat straight? Add to the fact that there are a hodge podge of different sheets which are not all the same size. This year we got rid of the old sheets and got old ones from a hotel in town. Our next project, Tuesday's sewing purpose, was to sew a sleeve on the top of those sheets so we can just slide them on the poles. I seriously bet we just cut hours from set up day.
Amelia had to come with this day and of course she did great! She was passed around and was even able to catch a cat nap. I guess when your really tired it's easy to sleep with five gabbing women and three humming sewing machines surrounding you.
