I hardly ever sew on a school night. I was so happy though, to see a box of my replacement Handi Quilter rails waiting by the front door. One whole day early! I guess it should have occurred to me though, that a replacement rail isn't the same as a pair of rails.
Alas, I am making it work. I am so happy to be working on down my list of tops to quilt that I just don't want to stop! Hawaii Sunset was already on the frame. It is getting Baptist Fans in Carolina blue thread.
Today was a full length school day, but with shorter classes to allow for the first exam. We will do two exams on each of the next three days, but with early dismissal to give the kids more time to study in between. Though it is pretty stressful for them, I can see the end in sight. Just three more short days till winter break! Can you tell that I am a little bit excited?

Just a teeny tiny bit! You are doing great at finishing this December.
ReplyDeleteGrrrr...stumbling block.....so glad you are able to make it work though.
ReplyDeleteLucky you! DS2 doesn't have exams until the week AFTER getting back from Winter Break!! (Good to hear that you were able to make a SINGLE rail work, too... Oops!)
ReplyDeletemy brother and sister in law who are both teachers look forward to the school breaks too - they need them when they come. Have fun quilting!
ReplyDeleteThat is a colourful quilt!! I LOVE IT. Looking forward to the reveal when it comes off the frame. A few more days and you will have time to rest, if there is such a thing in your vocabulary.
ReplyDeletehow |I hated exams as a child but they will be able to enjoy Christmas once they are over. Quilt looks lovely on the stand hope to see completed soon
ReplyDeleteEveryone deserves the Christmas break-teachers and students!
ReplyDeleteGlad you can make the 'rail' work because you have a ton of quilts to work on! Do you only do free motion or panto or computerized?
I hope you have a Merry Christmas with lots of time for stitching!
ReplyDeleteHope you've had lots of time to stitch now that finals are over. Drama Teen was thrilled to be done on Friday.
