On Friday Valerie and I cut out 7 Charity Mystery Quilt kits and 3 Jelly Roll Race kits for the Sew In on Saturday and very few people showed up. I think there must be a problem with some of the people and personalities. A "take my ball and go home" attitude that they think will hurt the show. But, unfortunately for them, the show will go on. I hate those petty problems when it is the guild who is trying to do something for Charity and its members.
This is it. No more for me for this show. I need to concentrate on the things that I will be putting in the show. And I have some obligations I need to fulfill in my Virtual Bees and Solids Challenge.
Here is the latest one from yesterday's Sew In just off the sewing machine at lunch!
I have several quilts that are currently UFOs that need to be completed for the show. I hate to do bindings, but that is the stage of two of them. And my AAQI quilts need to be sent off.
glen: too much work and too little time, isn't that the story of my life!
I think that is the story of everyone's life!
ReplyDeleteRight now, guild cliques are getting to me. Such pettiness can be a real drain on energy. I like the quilts you have been working on for charity. You are so right about so little time to do it all.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Glen - OMG - your guild is alot like the one that I used to belong too. Finally my husband told me to quit since hanging out with them fell under the category of "Not Fun"! I don't know what's wrong with ladies either - can't anybody go with the flow anymore???
ReplyDeleteI sure like the red and black quilt in this post. It is very pretty! And I LOVE your header. It is just beautiful. One of these days I hope to do something along those lines if I live so long, lol.
ReplyDeleteYour quilts are beautiful! With all the prep cutting your hand/arms must have had a major work-out. Too bad people can't get along - especially for charity.
ReplyDeleteMy wrist hurts just thinking of cutting out that much in one day. I've never been a member of a guild, mainly because I've heard about the cliques. I guess that's not much different from any other large group, even those not organized, like a neighborhood. I do wish I could find a group that quilted together though. Your sew-in sounds like it would be fun.
ReplyDeleteDo we get a sneak peek at your show projects?
