I Had An Idea...

But maybe I have Covid brain too!  The other day I was sitting on the couch thinking about something that I wanted to tell the Blog, but now that I'm sitting here ready to write I can't remember what it was.  Doesn't that happen more and more these days?  

I attended a virtual quilting retreat last weekend.  It was also a Mystery Sew-Along, where the clues were doled out one at a time and you had no idea what you were actually going to end up with for a quilt.  This is the second year in a row that this particular quilt shop was holding such a retreat, and I have to say that I had a little less anxiety over this one than I did last year.  I had a blast, and even though I made a few errors along the way, I think my blocks are coming out fine.




There's plenty to do before I'm done, but it's not a race!!  But I do think I'm stuck on blue quilt island for now, LOL!

I remembered what else I was going to write about!  I came across a sticker from a book I bought from a used previously owned book site.  Each book has a tag with a bar code and a 3-digit number.  I've been buying books there for several years.  If you spend $10 shipping is free, and every time you spend a certain amount you get a free book.  So I've had lots of stickers.

Each number is different, and they don't appear in any order.  I thought it might be fun to keep track of the numbers and use them for something - I have no idea what, but it might be interesting to see.  I guess you have to be a numbers person to even think that would be fun.  

Meanwhile back at the sewing studio, I need to get back to work.  There's a long way to go on this mystery.

Sew on...
