Lots of Rows

 Work has slowed down. Thank goodness!  We had a long day yesterday. Kevin and I helped our Austin coworkers in New Braunfels. I texted my daughter that we were in New Braunfels (only a 15 minute drive away from Texas State) and that if she wanted to come by and visit at the convenient stores we were doing inventory at, I’d get her $20-30 worth of snacks. She said she would, but Mondays are her most busy days with classes. I know that, since I saw her schedule. It just would have been nice to see her. 

My psychic prediction is that we will have to help them out there a lot in the near future. They seem to need a lot of help, and Kevin and I make the most sense to send out since we live in Hempstead, which is “on the way” from Houston to Austin. I don’t mind the traveling, in fact I often prefer it. Today and tomorrow are short days and then we likely have a four day weekend. I am going to enjoy that greatly!!! It’s payday, too!

I have been trying to lower my fabric square stash by arranging the squares I have into rows of seven blocks. Each block is about a foot long. I made two more blue rows and actually a pink row!  With pink denim on the back and everything. I remember going to 25 cent day at the fabric store and getting a pair of size 26 pink jeans. They were very long, too. I got a lot of squares out of it. Those went on the back of the pink blocks and pink row. On the front of the pink row is different shades of solid pink and a little bit of pink floral print. I’ll take pics when I feel like I’m done making random rows. 

The idea with making random rows is that I will arrange them into random quilts, and since the quilts “have no color scheme or pattern that makes sense” then they would just be free gifts to people I could ship them to for practice shipping. But I’m starting to think that with what I have, I can actually make a couple more quilts with good enough color schemes/patterns to actually sell. We’ll see!
