Neutral exchange

I followed my usual morning routine. Then I left for post, dropping off recyclables on the way. I drove my car to the SPC. Cathy was already there. But she had to leave soon after. We had a big turnout today. There were lots of items for show-and-tell. And we cut and exchanged fat quarters of neutral fabrics. That all took time, and yet we managed to finish and package 8 baby quilts for Stork's Nest. At lunch Cathy and Mary and I talked about submitting a funds request to the thrift shop. Since we are all the 'board' there is, that constituted a board meeting. Mary was kind enough to offer to write and submit our request once we defined it. We worked overtime, and I started cutting some kits with the purple stripe fabric. Then we packed up and went home. Michele was not home yet. So I had the apartment to myself, and with no distractions it should have been easy to complete my assignment: choose and cut fabrics for a quilt kit to go in the basket that I am donating to the AFSC luncheon tomorrow. But it wasn't easy. I kept finding distractions. I tried MT but the info was confusing. So I was on my own. Then Chris, and finally Michele came home. We ate leftovers. I meant to have one of my vegetable juice popsicles, but forgot. They put on a Netflix movie, which did not help my concentration. However, I did manage to choose and cut all the fabrics including backing for the quilt kit. I arranged the fabric pieces nicely on a piece of cardboard and covered it with Saran wrap. I wanted to add a few other things to the basket, like a pincushion, or potholders, but it is awfully late.
