Yesterday was the monthly meeting of Birmingham Quilters Guild. It was one of those times when if I hadn't had a job to fulfill (block of the month chairman), I would have stayed home in bed. But I got up, got showered and dressed, and headed out. With morning temps in the mid-40s outside, I was in danger of heat stroke, perspiring to beat the band. So I turned on the max a.c., and made it to Homewood.
My plan was to leave directly after committee reports and show and tell. But my plan went awry. Because of our speaker's schedule, our president had to change the meeting schedule and put the committee reports and show and tell off until the end of the meeting.
I made it through though, and actually was feeling a wee bit better by the time the meeting ended, enough so, in fact, to stop by JoAnn's Fabrics where I found the perfect fabric to border my September Sunflowers quilt.
Today is a sort of average day, the pain is there but not screaming; I have a little energy, but not enough to shout about. Getting laundry done and put a pot of chili on the stove for when Jesse gets home.

Below are some of the quilts that were stars of our show and tell yesterday. Hope you enjoy.

Am glad to hear you're feeling a bit better and that going to guild helped. You really scored big time on the border fabric for September Sunflowers!! Applause!
Thanks for the delightful eye candy from the guilt show and tell. The imaginative use of fabric, colors, and patterns is alive and well in the Birmingham guild! Well done, one and all!!
I can just imagine how wonderful your home smells with chili simmering on the stove. Do you serve it with cornbread, crackers, put it on a hot dog, all of the above, or none of the above?
Be good to you! Hugs!

Glad you are feeling better.
The fabric you chose for your quilt is perfect and I love the sunflowers. The guild quilts are gorgeous as always and I love seeing them all.
The new kitties have made me smile so much!
Hugs,
Donna

I am glad you are feeling a wee bit better. I really enjoy the show and tell each month of your guild meeting. You have awesome quilters in your group and I love the variety of traditional and contemporary. I can hardly wait to see the reveal of your finished sunflower quilt.
