Our meeting space is actually right next door to the (indoors) movie theater in town, so last night, I let them go see The Amazing Spiderman (again!) while I went to my meeting next door. Boy were they excited, not just to miss the BORED meeting, but also to go to the movies alone! (turns out, one of the city cops that we know was seated behind them, so when they came out of the theater, he let me know that they were perfectly behaved - I couldn't have planned it any better if I had tried!)
I brought my little pink and green scrap quilt to work on at the meeting. I know some people think it is wrong to sew or knit at a meeting, but truly, it helps me to stay focused on what is going on at the meeting rather than daydream about what else I'd rather be doing. And I participate MUCH MORE than some Board Members who sit there silently (with nothing in their hands) throughout the entire meeting, so they can't claim I'm not paying attention.
Anyway, I'm really liking this big stitch quilting. I will definitely give this a try on some other quilts.
I have some wide open white space, and wasn't sure how to fill that. I was thinking, since it is embroidery floss, perhaps I could try some french knots. LOVE IT!

| Hmmm, that one on the bottom right is crooked...I wonder how much that is going to bother me. Enough to take it out and do it again? Unlikely! |

Aaah, a girl after my own heart! No one ever acuses me of not paying attention either. It's kind of like taking notes for me. Good for the boys! I'm sure they would do you proud.
Sew cute! I send out notes in Sunday school. I'm always writing and addressing the cards. The teacher doesn't care, since I'm always answering his questions, even while I'm writing. Busy people get more done, better (good english, isn't it).
I think the French knots
look wonderful.
I wish I could get away with sewing in meetings but my boss just wont come to the party..
Nice filler idea. I like that...and the crooked just adds to the charm!
