Counting Down the Days

There are eight days left until I go back to work! I think I am going to be in shock when I can no longer lolly-gag around the house all morning. You will probably see fewer blog posts from me. I have been busily completing all the processes that the school system bureaucracy dishes out. Since I have been retired for more than two years, I had to begin the application process all over again. I can look forward to an orientation day (to a system I have worked for 24 years!), TB test, and the ever-popular drug test, a first for me!



Anyway, Jean H. brought me her gorgeous applique top to quilt yesterday. I decided I better get right on it. She wanted wonky flowers, hearts, and an informal, whimsical look. That is what I love to do! Each block is different and has loads of cute fabrics and motifs. Here is what I have done so far. Please excuse any basting stitches or hanging threads that have not been trimmed yet.
