Getting My Quilt Show Ducks in a Row

FL1
My Mother's Day roses from Andy are still beautiful. 

Time is running out to get my quilts all ready for the quilt show. They have to be turned in on June 17, for the show that will be June 21-22. I have been stitching labels and binding all weekend. I still have three labels to attach, I have to put my name on the pillowcases that the quilts will go in, and I have to put the finishing touches on my silent auction quiltlet. At each of our quilt shows, the guild holds a silent auction of small quilts to raise money for charity. This year, benefits go to Alzheimer's of Central Alabama.

It sometimes seems that getting all the picky little things done takes longer than making the actual quilts. I know that isn't true, just seems so.

Jesse had to get up very early this morning. He had to be at his new job at the golf course at 6:45 because they are holding a tournament today. Whenever anyone gets up at my house, I wake up too. So I've been awake since a little after 4:30. I feel like it's bedtime already.

OK, now. Back to lining up those ducks. Happy Monday, everyone.

The begonia that Lori and Greg gave me a few weeks ago is thriving also.

Sounds to me like you're making good progress at these needed but bothersome finishing touches! It's good you started weeks early so there won't be a rush as June 17 nears.

Love the beautiful flowers!!

I hope your back is feeling lots better and that the rest of you is, too. Is it time for an after lunch siesta?

Hugs!

Good morning Susan, I am enjoying some time to visit my sweet blog friends. FB just doesn't do it!!! My last couple of posts have been about quilts and here you are getting ready to put your quilts in a show. I agree that finishing the quilts is the biggest job. Especially the way you have to put your name on everything. Have a wonderful show and please do a post on it.
Wishing you happy days.
Love, Jeanne
