Plan B

I had to do some Plan "B"ing on Wednesday. I was making a quilt where the borders had part of the quilt pattern. Somehow some of the pieces I cut were too short and I had to scrap the border completely changing the design. I am still happy with out it is turning out. That's what I like about quilting. How many life lessons can be learned from it. Sometimes a Plan B can be better than a Plan A, and sometimes a Plan B can make you look great if you don't tell anyone there ever was a Plan A. Oops!

 I did have something to make my Plan "B" ing better. I got my win from Bec Clarke as part of the May Giveaway Day. I got to choose a pendant, and she promised some surprises. Well, the pendant is incredible and the surprises are great. I got a coin purse, an Australian magazine with stitchery and quilting, my new favourite combination, some fabric and a charm pack of Fairy Frost by Michael Miller.

Last week I was trying to frantically get my table runner done for my guild meeting. We had a block swap and I was in 2 groups, brights and country. I decided to try something that I had never done before by making it 2 sided, with the bright side for spring and summer and the country side for fall.. For a while I thought I might need to Plan B it to, but it turned out okay.  It turned out okay but I was finishing it up 5 minutes before I had to leave for the meeting. I had some extra batting hanging out of it, and when I went to cut it I ended up cutting a hole in the binding instead. I stitched it up anyhow, and hid it behind Ariane's amazing bags at the meeting. 

The meeting was supposed to be the last on the executive as the newsletter editor. I told my husband to stop me from signing up for anything else for the executive and I ended up becoming the webmaster. So much for Plan A, again! Luckily, my dh knows me well enough and is supportive enough to laugh at me when I told him.
