I'm back

I'll be doing general posting now.  I haven't done a lot of quilting lately - little bits here and there.

I support our teacher, Mickey Charleston- our meeting is every Monday.   Even though I don't often like the project - they're very old-fashioned - I make some of them - and it keeps me busy and interested in general in quilting.   The class is making a pumpkin today - since I made several last year, I won't make one now.  I am making the animal blocks that she is making.  They are from Elizabeth Hartmann's selection/quilt.  I've made a bunny and a fox, and have cut out another fox and a dragonfly.  I don't know what I will do with the blocks, maybe a hanging.

On Tuesday's, our friendship group, battGirls, meets.  It's my turn to host this week, and I'm afraid I'll need to swiffer :(  Bugsy is shedding!  I don't like to do it - the house cleaner does it just fine for me.  Not sure what my project will be to do tomorrow - I prefer to do something by hand - maybe put a sleeve on one of the halloween quilts so I can hang it!

The Modern Quilt Guild meets every month - and I always enjoy looking at what people share, even though I never have anything to share.  They have a social time, and I rarely know anything to say to people - just not a social person, unless it's people I know very well.  I finally talked to one of the members - asked what she did - she was a computer scientist too!  different field, but anyway...  I think back now, and talked about myself instead of talking about her - that's a bad thing, and I know that now, but didn't think about that then.  I am very passionate about my work, and expressed that!

I also belong to Flying Geese Quilt Guild - and they meet every month also.  It's fun to see what people share on show and tell, and the speakers are usually very good too.

Hopefully I will blog tomorrow too,
