Ok - so I was at our Irish Country Woman's association meeting this evening and we were trying to think of a donation for the big raffle at the AGM next month.
Of course I have QUILTS so much on the brain since discovering you guys that I said it..... 'I could make a quilt!' - there it was out there - of course they all thought it was a great idea!!!!!
So now I have done it! I've been driving home thinking of ways to delegate small tasks to other members if I cut it out and give them a crash course in quilting.........
Just felt like sharing before I go to bed!

Thanks! I am in County Limerick. I have visited Twenty Nine Palms in California several tiems and driven from Vegas out there - we LOVE the desert! My Husband would live there but I can't live where it would be so hard to garden!

That happened to me about 8 years ago. A doctor that we worked for was retiring and the ladies were wondering what to give her for a gift. Suddenly I heard myself saying "make a quilt!!"
I gave them a crash course on quilting and everyine helped. It was fun and the ladies really enjoyed learning. Several are still quilting. Just pick an easy pattern like "warm wishes." Most people can sew a straight line.
Good luck!!

I will post the finished thing!
Of course I love the idea of delegating all the cooking etc instead!! Unfortunately I have a sitting room full of alterations and repairs to do for clients as well as a set of church vestments to finish restoring - I can't delegate those!!!
And a garden that needs digging and planting ...........
