Sometime in the past, I suppose, I started making a pair of gi pants for
a martial arts class I was in at the time, which I did not finish (the
pants, not the martial arts class).

A few days ago, I found the pieces of it, 2 legs that had the inseam
sewn on each leg, but the legs had not yet been sewn together.

I suppose that I also started a gi top as well, but I did not find the
pieces for that.

Right now I am not in any sort of martial arts class, so there is real
point in finishing the pants, at least not for that purpose, but I have
some ideas as to what to do with the pieces:

1. Sew them together and install a drawstring or elastic (I suppose I
could be really fancy and put in drawstring elastic) and use them as
lounging/pajama pants.

2. If I undid the inseams, and cut the pieces into rectangles, the
rectangles would be quite large, ~2ftx3ft (60cmx90cm), which could make
some nice shopping bags (though I already have plenty of those) or a
nice laundry bag.

3. I can't really think of anything else, but I could take them apart,
make them into the rectangles and save them for some future use when I
have some specific need for white material.

I also recently got a $5.00 Amazon gift certificate for giving blood
(that is not why I do it, but it is nice when I get something like that
it is nice) and looked on Amazon, and a 50-pack of wonderclips is ~$4.00
with ~$.50 S/H, for a total of about $4.50, so I am going to use the
gift ceritficate to buy the wonderclips and give them a try.

I am thinking about joining a quilting guild. My main motivation for
doing so would be to help with making charity quilts.

I guess I don't really have any specific questions, but am just
soliciting comments on these things I am pondering.

I was also wondering how one joins the RCTQ facebook group. A few weeks
ago, I went to that page, and clicked the button that said "join group."

For a few days after that, the button said "membership pending," but
then after that the button changed back to saying "join group,"
indicating that my membership was denied, but I could find no
explanation of why.

Is the group totally closed right now, do I need to send a personal
message to one of the moderators, or what?

I also have drawn a new cartoon, which I may put up either later tonight
or perhaps tomorrow.
