Well, so much for working on the quilt

I won't be able to start working on it until the fall. DD will be home for the summer, as the place she worked for before leaving for college would like her back for the summer and she'll make more money working fewer hours (like, the hourly rate at her old job is twice as much as it is at school) and be ahead of the game financially even considering plane fare.

*sigh* Well, it *will* be nice to have her home, anyway.

Melinda, Is it possible to try to get some of it done by working around her work schedule? A few years ago I made a rain shirt for DH for Christmas. Since we are both home all day I had to work around his being out a short while each day. He's go for a walk with friends, I'd sew for 30 minutes. Since he was so accustomed to seeing the sewing machine out he didn't pay much attention to what I was doing. when he asked I just said Christmas gifts. Juno

I'm really not in a hurry to do it, so it can wait with no problem. I'll have to think about that and figure out if I can jump through the appropriate hurdles.

(a) I'd have to find a very safe place to put it. My bedroom is also a general storage room for lots of stuff that everybody uses. Right now all I have is the pattern and the fat quarters, and I put them in the bottom of a box with a bunch of work stuff in it. There isn't enough room to put the backing fabric, if I got it, and groups of assembled and unassembled pieces and keep it all organized. And then keeping putting it up would practically guarantee that I wouldn't work on it as much.

(b) I think I'd rather work while she's at work (I work at home 4-6 days a week for 3-10 hrs per day depending on what work comes in on what day) and have time available for her when she's off work rather than having to work when she's off work.

But I'll have to wait and see what happens when she gets back here. She said she was going to try to find a second job to get more money, and if she does she will be gone all day long and I might have more of a chance of trying that.

I sure can understand your desire to be free when she is. There is nothing more special than a mother-daughter relationship. Enjoy you time with her. Juno

She never ceases to amaze me. I was sure she would want to stay over there over the summer because there's more going on and she has friends over there (but not here), but she said she was not looking forward to staying there and is totally excited about coming home.

But if she works two jobs, I might go ahead and start working on it.
