EMPLOYED! Not sure how many hours or how often right now but for the next two days I'm required to be in and learn the routine at the local LQS,
Wore the rose top, navy pants and shoes....got permission to wear jeans (in good condition) and tops with small logos on them (I explained that I am slowly rebuilding a professional work wardrobe and the owner didn't seem phased by that. She said in so many words that dress is causal as long as it isn't trashy/trampy/etc.)
Showed off my work, had to tell her she bit off a bit much when trying to do a mini with really small pieces as her first PP project -- I'm gonna go through my stash of masters tonight and see if I can find something more reasonable for her to start with and then offer to attempt the teeny mini sample myself for it to go on display.
As I was getting ready to leave I was approached by a customer who had questions about a quilting frame that she purchased at a yard/estate sale -- I've asked her to provide me with pictures so I can share them with you all and get your ideas on what's missing or how to put it together. I know nothing about the basics of those, not using them and unable to picture what she was describing in my mind, I wasn't able to provide direct assistance but told her if she got me the picts, I'd pursue it with the collective knowledge bank here.
I'm so happy.....I'll need to call and leave a message this evening for the gal at Lowes, explaining the situation with hours being up in the air at the moment.
And, the reason I didn't mark this OT is -- I went ahead and purchased
1/3 yd of the most gorgeous moda marble fabric to do the corner triangles to set my block on point. I'd have loved more but not until I get some paychecks behind me. So, when I get my machine area cleared out, I'll be doing the next level on my pinwheel project -- the one that is to be MINE! -- that I did my own paper piecing pattern for. I'll get pics up as soon as it is done!Thank you for the support, encouragement, etc.
Tricia =)
