Thank you very much for the instructions.  I will try to follow them the next time and hope that I am successful. 

I just finished them and thought that they looked like your friend in  the photo.  The pillows are now packaged and ready for the post office. 

Well, Guy I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying that - to make you think that I'm involved?  That doesn't make any sense - since I was supporting you and planning on voting for your proposals either way - to take the vote away from the TWDC's proposals.   I think that everyone pretty much knew that.  I was planning on voting for Larry's as well even though he did not get his mailed.  

I don't think anyone told you but I refused to sign in.  I was not about to be used as a game piece in the head count.   If the organizers of that party had wanted to run that meeting by the rules and called the meeting to order as per Robert's Rules of Order - on time - at 6:30pm, with or without quorum, I would have happily went along, but  was not going to allow them to use me as part of the program to hold a meeting, make introductions, speeches, hold a question and answer session, and hold the crowd there for well over an hours without calling that meeting to order in hopes that enough members would straggle in to call quorum.  That was a load of crap - That is TWDC Bullshit.

I am one stubburn old woman - They needed 187 people to call quorum - and by holding  that meeting which is what they did - Making introductions, using a moderator, making speeches, holding an open question and answer session is conducting business - the agenda stated that the meeting would begin at 6:30 - they did not call that meeting to order at 6:30 and declare whether or not there was quorum at 6:30 - I don't care if they ended up with 186 heads at 7:45, I would not have signed in - they were not going to use me as part of their head count game.  I heard that they were whinning about me not signing in - Oh well. Learn how to conduct business and they won't have that problem.

That's ok if he is.  I am a "sweet, loveable,  kind, generous and sometimes forgiving  STUBBORN OLD LADY and I have a suprise for Guy that he will really like.  It  shall be revealed by the end of the day. 

It does not get any more real than that....

Guy's suprise is revealed under  blog heading "A Pillow for Guy."  I was unable to deliver it today because I couldn't find him at his usual hang out with Yogi - Lincoln Park.  I'll go looking again tomorrow.  I thought he'd get a kick out it - the photo is the one I used in the Plain Press story last December.   I thought it was rather fitting.  I sort of got a chuckle or two out of making it.

There are a couple of ways - but today I used the hurry-up&go method.  1. You can take a sheet of freezer paper and iron your fabric onto the slick side (8 1/2 x 11) etc., and put it in your printer, select the photo you wish, select the size and hit print.   When it's finished and the ink is dry, you can pull the freezer paper off and you have the picture right on the fabric.  2.  You can purchase transfer paper, load it in the printer, select the photo, size it and hit print, when it's finished, use a hot iron on a cotton setting and, with the print side down, press hard and iron for a minute or two and then peel the paper off.  There is a third way but it is really messy and stinky and takes too long also involved turpentine.

The quilting, yes, we're still on, but I don't think that Zion Church is the place, the lighting in there is not real good for the eyes and sewing so I'm looking for a better place. Have a couple of ideas but will let you know when I know if they're available. 

Jerleen--both libraries have sky lights and ample light during the day.  And, you are especially welcome!

Thank you Laura that is very thoughtful, but I don't think that the Libraries will work for what I have in mind.  I don't think that they would allow a group of laughing, talking, free spirited, coffee clutching, scissor snippin,' rag threaders in the quiet zone.  I want us to have fun - to be able to move about - talk freely - laugh loudly and relax.  Sewing is therapy - If you don't feel like sewing, you don't have to - you can cut squares or just sit and talk. 

I always find it amazing and laugh at the concept all the time - why do people buy big pieces of cloth  to cut up into tiny little pieces and then sew them back together again?    I'm addicted and I have to force myself to throw away even the tiniest scrap. 

I just started a memory quilt.  It is an expierment.  I cut different size squares, bought bought clear photo album holders, cut different size and shapes of fabric to look like picture frames and them attached them to the squares of fabric over the clear photo holders, and also trimmed the frames with different types of lace and adorned them with ribbons, buttons, etc.  left an opening at the top to insert photos.  Now, all I have to do is sew the squares together, quilt the top and the quilt can be used for holidays, or if you have a relative or friend coming to visit, you can insert old pictures and lay the quilt out as a conversation piece or give as a gift.  It a ways from being finished.
