Today is the last day before my school year starts in earnest. I’ve been freaking out a bit about the new schedule and the hours, but then, during the night last night, I realized that the new schedule is really only 1-2 hours more than the old. It is just more concentrated. I won’t be working Fridays and I won’t be tutoring until 6PM. Since my students are primarily Student Link students, they can come during the day. So I’ll be tutoring from 10-5 Tu-Th and then I’m off! It all starts tomorrow so we’ll see how it goes. I worked on my quilts today and it took me awhile to sort all the strips so that I can make 9-patch squares and 3-rail squares. Once I had everything organized, I started piecing the strips together. After that I had a phone conference and then worked my puzzle while watching the men’s final of the US Open tennis tournament. Our weather has turned delightfully cool, with even a bit of a drizzle. It’s supposed to get hot again by the weekend, but I’ve enjoyed today.

I’m rooting for you, Daphne. Good luck with your new schedule. 🙂
Thanks so much, Lydia! I really appreciate your support!
You’re very welcome.
I want to try quilting sometimes.
I’ve only been quilting since 4/2009, but it is really fun. I machine quilt as I don’t have the patience for hand quilting (or the ability to do nice stitches!).
NO machine, but I might try hand quilting… though my stitches have to be worked at…
Well, good luck to you! I’ve thought about it, but so far it seems too daunting. 🙂
Thanks.
