15 Minute Challenge & Workshop

 Work is pretty full on, the co-worker who has been with us for 12 months resigned and after saying they'd work the week left 3pm the first day of the week and wasn't seen again except to drop off the keys to the office.  That was 2 weeks ago but it feels like 3 months ago, it has been lots of work to mop up the mess.  Though today I feel like I am almost back on track.  I will be back to being busy most of the time but at least I don't have to micromanage a man child.  

Last weekend was the Summertime Stitching with Petra Prins and Judith Ebbelaar they showed some interesting techniques for applique and most of their quilts are hand pieced.  It was a fun weekend but I should have done the 4 days not just the weekend, but with everything that has been going on at work I wouldn't have been able to have the time off.  They showed us how to do Dutch Binding which I think I will try out soon.  

Saturday was crochet guild, I have volunteered to help man the stall at Fibre Feast for a couple of hours in early March and help steward at the Royal Adelaide Show in August.  The group is still quite small and we have a fun time once a month showing off what we have done our latest pattern we are working on.  

I've just signed up for another workshop with Judy Newman and Margaret Mews at the end of March this is 3 days, I just told the boss I'm having Friday off but I might need a swap with my Thursday.

Sit and Sew is on 1st March with Fibre Feast on 2nd I'm up for a busy few weekends.  

I think I only stitched one day last week, so not good, did a bit of crochet on the weekend but managed to put together the last pieced border of LaCropte which I'm back to not liking again.  Let me know what you think... my thoughts are fabric vomit.  

I'll leave you with my redwork progress, which has been slow as I think I may be developing arthritis in my index finger.

You know the deal head to Kate's to see what everyone is up to.
