Tracey phoned me from the College yesterday, to say that she had realised that my first class, scheduled for next Thursday, clashed with the Jethart Handba. This means that the windows in the college will be boarded up, and lots of men will be running riot through the town, so we decided to delay the classes by a week. Malcolm and I popped into the college this morning, as Tracey had various bits of paperwork to go over with me. We had a cuppa (and biscuits) while she explained all the ins and outs of working at the college, including where the fire exit is, where the first aid box is, where the staff toilet is, and most importantly, where the fridge is!! She also gave me my staff pass (Malcolm is still laughing at the terrible photo of me!!) It was quite a thrill to see my samples in the college window!!
I have to write a little article about myself for the next college newsletter, and Tracey also asked me to send her some photos, so I took these this afternoon
I have had these beautiful Japanese silk threads since 2001 - I bought them on my first trip to Houston. I had been waiting for a very special project to use them for, and finally I have one ........ Mrs Billings
I finished the quilt top for Quilts for Comfort this afternoon. First I added a red border
and then a grey/black border
to finish - after we had been at the college, we popped into the Woolen Mill for a quick lunch. I went to the Ladies, and was surprised to find this small chair It is sadly in need of refurbishment, butI couldn't fit it in my pocket, to take it hoe and give it some tlc (goodness me, yesterday I was talking about stealing a garden gate, and today a chair!!)
ps - I am sorry that some of you had a problem leaving a comment yesterday. I have been in touch with Typepad, who said that there was a brief problem yesterday, which has now been fixed.
