I had great intentions to get the pockets of my Ultimate Carryall Bag<\/a> made during Sew Day. I also wanted to set a good example by working on it and encourage people to get it done.<\/p>\n

Best laid plans.<\/p>\n

I forgot my mesh and the interfacing. In reality, I thought I had everything already cut and prepared. I hadn’t cut the mesh and the interfacing wasn’t adhered. People were very kind and tried to help me out, but I gave it up as not possible.<\/p>\n

I turned to charity work. I grabbed some packs of 2.5 inch squares, which Peggy always has available, and started to make some squares.<\/p>\n

I didn’t want to waste bringing my machine. If I couldn’t work on my own projects the next best thing was to do community service work.<\/p>\n

I sewed the squares into blocks. It is an easy mindless task, though I did pay attention to color and print placement. I was able to follow the conversation fairly easily and still sew. My plan was just to sew a bunch of blocks. It turned out that I was pretty fast. Mary helped after she finished her project, so we were able to finish a baby quilt. Mary took the top home and will put borders on, then bring it to the meeting.<\/p>\n
