I have only one month left before “officially” returning to school work. (We all know that I do school work all summer! It irritates the custodians that I’m in and out of my rooms all summer. I think it’s because they want free rein of the kitchen labs while school is out! I kind of rain on their parade by working in my labs). Yet here at home for the summer, I’m busy trying to get a lot of my quilting done, along with yard work, and professional education. I’m taking an online class that is dealing with blogging, so this blog will continue to change and evolve as I incorporate the things I’m learning. I’m also enjoying getting to spend time with mom and being able to get to daily Mass.
But back to the purpose of this blog!!! I finished binding project 2 - Green Log Cabins and I’ve made two pillow slips to go along with it. Now I just need to embroider a label for the project before giving it to my brother. I think this project has turned out so well, but I am definitely glad it is complete. I do solemnly promise that I am NEVER going to tackle a quilt this large again (until next time, of course!) Last night I was applying over 350 inches of hand binding. It took about five hours to get that last little component done. My goal is to finish the embroidered label this afternoon and present the quilt to my brother and his wife tonight. Wish me luck.
As for this professional education class that covers blogging, the instructor is recommending that we complete our writing in a word processor to allow for easier editing. Then we can copy into the blog after we’ve proofed our work. So, you should be seeing fewer errors in my postings. We will see how that works out.
