Anyway.<\/p>\n
BAMQG Sew Day was yesterday. I planned to go and had all of my cutting projects planned out to take when I thought of emailing Gerre to see if she would be there. Gerre and I made the Green T quilt together<\/a> in the Great Charity Race<\/a> last fall. We make a good team and Gerre makes me happy to be around.<\/p>\n Shockingly, she said no! It turns out that she was injured before Christmas had had been stuck at home since then and she didn’t feel like it. I cajoled and encouraged and bribed her with the prospect of working on another charity project with me. My thought was that she wouldn’t have to think about a project. She could just show up with her sewing machine.<\/p>\n It worked! Gerre decided to come and my job was to get fabric for another ‘T’ quilt together. We agreed that something cheerful was in order. I pulled out some pinks. I also pulled some beiges for the background that I wanted to use up anyway.<\/p>\n I arrived a little later than I intended (those PJs were nice and comfy). I started pressing and Gerre started cutting. The T quilts we made during the Great Charity Race were cut out. We found out how daunting the cutting can be. Once we passed that hurdle, I sewed the first seam and then pressed and Gerre sewed the rest as I pressed and handed her pieces.<\/p>\n The result is a cheerful quilt that we hope some lovely girl will enjoy. I don’t even think the beiges are very terrible.<\/p>\n Gerre has the piece, which is about 55″x45″. I will make the back and send it to her, she will quilt it, then I will bind it.<\/p>\n Gerre left much more cheerful and I got in over 5K steps running around, so it was a good day on many different levels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well, 2015 has barely started and I can already say that I had a hand in making a donation top.
