patable2010MONDAY
Still overcast and damp so Leofwyna headed off to cheer up a friend and I finished sewing the gift bags... 75 in all. I still need to thread the cords through them all but that's for another day. She brought home steaks and fresh corn for supper... probably the last time to grill and definately the end of the fresh corn for the year. After supper she processed more corn for the freezer. We finished the day breaking down more sample books. Got out the tag punch to use on some pages from the sample books; now we've got a huge pile of colorful non-seasonal tags and no idea where they'll be used.
Poor old Barkley is showing his age; I cleaned up after him several times this evening.
TUESDAY
Spent a good chunk of the day doing personal and baronial paperwork. I am as ready as I can be for Moot tomorrow. Got out and mowed the entire yard bagging the clippings for compost while Leofwyna continued dismantling the fence. She's been dealing with the fence gradually for a week and has nearly gotten it done. Tonight we went to the south Valentinos for supper and stopped at Bryan Hospital for a quick tour of the new Women's Tower where she's now working; that's some special facility! And then back to the sample books.

Date: 2008-09-10 05:30 pm (UTC)I use the bigger pieces for drawstring gift bags. The 100 percent cottons are sorted for nice quilts. Heavier tapestry pieces are assembled into faux carpeting for dressing up campsites. I keep especially interesting bits and all silks for making crazy quilts.
And finally cotton-blends and polyester-blends of appropriate weight are made up into rough quilts to be sent to African missions. These final quilts MUST be made rough and ugly so they don't get siphoned off to the Black Market enroute... yes, this happens. I understand these 'quilts' are most likely used alternately as ground cloths and sunshades under very primitive conditions so rough and ugly works very well.
