Homework

I bought myself a present! I had been planning to order a collapsible wagon for some time to use when I need to transport my sewing machine and the accompanying supplies. This usually happens at quilt guild meetings when we have a workshop or a charity sew day. Imagine how excited I was when I found a pink one online at Target. I got it yesterday!

It’s so pretty, and it’s pretty big, and it folds up and fits in the back of my car.

I will get to use it next week. We have a border workshop next week, sponsored by my local guild. It is a two day workshop, and we were assigned pre work to do. Here’s a picture of the instructions:

Sorry for the quality—it’s a picture of a picture with my scribbling on it. We are supposed to precut quite a few pieces and piece the center square and the little pinwheels. I have gotten a start on it.

I have five pinwheels done….I need 36, so a few more to do. They are three inches. I cut a few when I have some spare time at the shop, then bring them home and sew them in the mornings.

Here’s some good news. There is a quilting cruise in June leaving from Galveston that doesn’t cost a lot, and I am officially registered to go. There are no instructors or kits like previous ones I have gone on. It’s more like a retreat where you bring your own machine and projects. I am trying to find out if I can take my wagon to haul the machine and supplies.
