My iron conked out last night and I can't find the one I use for workshops so I was going to have to walk to Bed, Bath and Beyond (since we don't have a Walmart and the closest Target is in New Jersey). But I was able to borrow one from a friend for a few days until I'm in the neighborhood. I've been going through a box of scraps and cutting them into strips and squares and some of them needed ironing. Actually I was taking a break from putting borders on Judy Laquidara's Peaches and Dreams quilt which I took in a class along with Jamie in LA last month. I'm on border 6 and there are 8 borders. It's a neat quilt and I did it in my favorite color - orange. But I wanted to play with some other fabric.
Sort of a typical day today, woke up about 8 am, ate breakfast, showered, dressed then sat at my sewing machine cutting up fabric. Walked over to the close (that's what they call the campus), looked at all the beautiful flowers and trees, met my DH for lunch in the refectory (dining room), got the mail (got an order from Stitch-N-Frame with some beautiful Fairy Frost fabrics on sale), walked home, checked email, took a nap, ate a sandwich for dinner and left for Schola (choir) back on the close. Walked home at 9:30 and am writing this. Now for a snack and to bed with a good book, Killer Cuts by Elaine Viets. Kinda lonely since DH is in charge of the women's shelter tonight. The seminary students volunteer to oversee the homeless women's shelter. All of the women are employed and this gives them a safe place to stay until they can save enough for an apartment of their own. They can have a meal, wash their clothes, shower and sleep safely.
