Someone wants to meet you... When I went to the post office this morning there was an envelope in the mailbox (for work) with the handwritten message "Someone wants to meet you..." Now to give you some background, for the last 4 years I have gone just about every week day to the post office right across the street from my office. Wendy, Rae & Mary are always behind the counter and we have a lovely little chat while they process the mail and get all the pertinant information into the computer. Wendy and I talk about quilting (as she is also a quilter - she let me borrow her ruler for the round quilt for mom), Rae likes to tease (I'm not sure why... but he calls me trouble whenever I come in) and Mary just likes to talk about what is going on (or asking me about how to talk to her friend who is in prison).

McDougall Cottage "Wee Quilt" Challange This afternoon I dropped off my 16"x 22" wee quilt for the wee quilt challange.

She went through her garbage bin and scrap piles on the floor and gave me a bag full of scraps. I was back and had about 1 1/2 weeks to put something together (but with getting over jet lag it took that left about 4 days). Though not very creative, I thought it might be a nice way to display some of the fabric given. Unfortunately I don't know the names of all the tartans (the lady at McDougall asked me if I did) the kilt maker was talking so fast I couldn't keep up but I guess if I look it up in September (when I get the quilt back) I can maybe stitch the names underneath.

It was a great time of learning and fellowshiping together. Below are some pictures of the ladies at the tables. Riverside is looking forward to planning for next year!
