This week I have been glued to my 2 computers in every spare minute! Last June I was meant to teach a week’s retreat all about the “Art and Stitch” software for Quilt Direct but it was postponed due to low numbers as it is a tad niche. I was almost ready with the preparation then shelved it all thinking I would have months to finish it all off. Obviously, I got side tracked by moving and DIY so my good intentions kept slipping. Hence, I have spent hours finding, revising, copying, and checking all of my files! The manual for the software is enormous and I have indeed been through it all but I cannot guarantee that I know it by rote. I plan to give my pupils enough confidence to work through the tricky exercises after mastering the basics.
And - I wrote instructions for a quilted tote bag without actually making it;)
At work I had a couple of quilts in for basting so the customer can free motion them herself.
At home I found a newt on my doorstep, put up a little shelf, making sure it was level by shoving in some shims made from an old loyalty card, and received some lovely Mother’s Day flowers.
