It took all week to get caught up at school after the long weekend trip to Guatemala. I never realized how much effort I put in each day to staying on top of grading, prepping, planning, etc. Creating sub plans for three days beforehand instead of doing the usual school work plus not grading while I was gone, put me WAY behind. Interims are due on Monday and I am happy to say that I am ready with time to spare!!
Now I can sew!! I would love to get the Carnival Quilt finished this week. With some focus I think I can. Finding a striped fabric to use as the outer border instead of making a piano key border was a huge stroke of luck. It will also work well to make the frog fabric wide enough for the backing.
I need to get something new prepped for leaders & enders. I had been working on the chunky churn dash blocks, but it would be a better use of my time to get a good plan for the RSC and prep that instead. Prioritizing got the floppy bunny finished in record time in early January, so I need to stick with that strategy.
It feels so good to be thinking about sewing and not grading papers!!

It does take some planning and some prep to be able to stitch on those busy work days. Sounds like you are staying on top of things even with the trip. Happy stitching this week.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it was easier to just be at school instead of prepping for a sub. Also depended on the sub the principal could get. Glad you could make that trip work out though. That striped border is fabulous!!
