I've got my first full week back at University under my belt. Talk about information overload!
Technically, today was my day off - - but I spent all morning, until nearly 1 o'clock this afternoon just getting my books and my calendar organized, and catching up on all the news on my course websites - - yes, every course (all seven of them!) I'm taking has it's own interactive website, in effort to approach a "paperless" society.
I didn't get to start reading until this afternoon. So far I have 1/2 the reading and notes written for Communication & Interviewing Skills, and the reading (but not the notes) for Small Group Work Theory. I know it sounds like I'm behind....but seriously, I'm in a better position this weekend than I was last weekend.
Onto the Quilty News!
My Pick & Choose quilt is back from the quilter. It looks AWESOME!!! I hope to get the binding on before Thursday night's guild meeting.
Tomorrow, I'm going to an all-day workshop at Country Patchworks in Woodstock to make a "Courthouse Stars" quilt with Barb Scott. I'm doing mine in browns and blues -- all RECYCLED SHIRTS!!!
I know it's not a good time to run away to a quilt day, but I had signed up and paid for this workshop back in the spring, when it was originally scheduled for June. However, the class was cancelled, and rescheduled -- and since I already had all my fabric pre-cut and ready to go, I figured I could sacrifice a day to sewing.

ReplyDeleteI have to remind myself that you are in Canada because I am about an hour from Woodstock NY :0)
Happy Sewing
So, how was the workshop? Where's your quilt? Do we have to wait until What's on the Wall Wednesday? And why on earth are you taking 7 courses simultaneously? Here at the University that I work at in the US, a full course load is 4 courses. How can you keep all 7 straight? Ah, wait, this is Nancy, OF COURSE you can do it! You are no less than a modern day Superwoman!
ReplyDeleteI want to know about the workshop, too! I love that pattern and would like to see your quilt. I know that you're busy with school -- I remember the days when as an English major (all 36 hours my senior year -- don't ask) I had an average of 400 pages and 2 papers a week. Uhhggg!
