BLOG 400
Fancy missing my 400th posting!! I had imagined a
drum roll and trumpets blasting but alas, there was nothing much to say after an
exceptionally busy week of sewing! How can that be? you might ask. Well, most
of what I sewed was repetitive and didn’t bear repeating for my blog. I was
trying to catch-up on my Gresford exhibits and to do that, I had to concentrate
on finishing off items, working to the last minute to get them done. Phew! On Monday,
a dedicated group of stalwarts spent most of the day from 8:30 am onwards
preparing the church, receiving exhibits, labelling them all and then arranging
them into pleasing displays; that’s what takes the time. At the end of the show
on Friday, it will take us less than an hour to dismantle it all, ready to be
collected!!
The other preparation I needed to do was add temporary
sleeves to the backs of the quilts. These I just tacked into place for easy
removal after the show. Next week there will be a quilt show to report on!
This Saturday, I am doing the ‘Pretty Muddy 5km run’ at
Tatton Park for breast cancer. Now the word ‘run’ is a bit misleading, we tend
to wind up to a jog when we see members of the public but mainly we walk around
chatting and getting filthy! It is great fun and this year we are’ running’ for
my daughter Tess, pictured below with me and (the sharer of the grandchildren)
Jackie. It took ages to get the mud out of all the crevices!!!!
