amusing

I'm in a finishing mood right now, trying to get a bunch of quilts quilted and out the door.

So, funny story.

At church last night, they announce that if anyone has something they'd like to donate for an auction on Saturday night, then please let [young guy] know. After going around and chatting with a few people, I recall this and go off to find him.

He's talking with his mum, who's of my generation (IDK, my friends are all in the 50-60 range, I'm like the baby of the group at 46; it's partly because I'm childless and the 50s are when a lot of their kids are much less dependent on them than the women in the 40s whose kids are primary age or young secondary) and I mention to him that I'd like to donate a quilt to the auction. And his mum FREEZES with her eyes huge, and then is like "SAY YES! SAY YES NOW!" And the poor guy (early 20s) is all deer-in-headlights because his mum is so excited and he has no idea why.

I do have to put her on the list of ppl for giving quilts to. Not the super-fancy ones like in the icon, just the 'ordinary' ones that are still sweet and neat, just not elaborate.

Hoo boy. Still plenty to make.

So, for those of you who are new(er), you can probably go back and look at my tag 'quilt' but here are a few from the last couple of years:

That last one is the one that I'm going to gift for the church auction on Saturday night. I'll take it around to the church this afternoon. But I should probably get a pic of it beforehand...
