quilting again
I have been quilting on a more regular basis. I also had my first spam comment. sheesh. I removed it and reported the problem. I may have to add stronger screening of comments, but, as I do not have a lot of traffic leaving comments, I will hope it does not become a recurring issue.
I have a new laptop computer and still in the learning curve. I have enjoyed a week of vacation with my sister visiting and it was great fun.
The day job continues to have a mountain of backlog to contend with and I am still training my co-worker who has taken a part of my workload. Like any mountain, I am taking it one chunk at a time. It would be nice if time stopped and I actually had a hope of catching up. As that is never going to be the case, I am embracing do what I can in the time I am allowed (ie, no more overtime) and let the bosses worry about what is not getting accomplished.
I had planned to submit an entry into QuiltCon this year, but, alas I did not read the size requirement for smallest entry and restrictions on the Michael Miller challenge category I had received fabric to use to make my quilt with. I have to say, I never felt the directions and information that went with that challenge satisfied my questions. I probably should have found a contact person within The Modern Quilt Guild and been more direct with my questions. So, all that said, I will find a way to use the fabric sent in one of my charity quilts.
Fabric in my stash never goes to waste! It all ends up in a quilt at some point or passed along to someone else who will put it to good use.
Once the current top I am working on is done I will share a photo. It needs one more row ...and I have run out of weekend for now.
back to the work mines today!
