NEASC Accreditation Team

Well, I am getting ready for my position on the NEASC High School Accreditation  Team.  As you may have read from my profile and blog, I am a high school teacher.  I was asked to serve on a team to evaluate and decide if a high school should receive accreditation .  This is a huge undertaking with countless hours being given to this task from Saturday through Wednesday.  I will not be at home, they put the team members up at a hotel, and we work from 7:00 in the morning until 10:30 at night.  Needless to say, I may not be blogging during these days.  I have prepared some applique to take with me on the off chance that I will have some down time, and then I think I will need some relaxation--hence the applique.  If I get anything accomplished, I will share when I get back.  Once I return, my quilt guild will be having their first quilt show on Saturday, October 10; so while I am working on that and during the show, I do hope to have pictures to post of the show.  After that, no more commitments for a while--I need my own time to sew and quilt!

I will be putting together some 9 1/2 blocks for Terry though and sending them off to Laurie--that I consider something I want to do and it is my time to sew!  My thoughts and prayers are continuing for Terry and her family.  I will leave you with what I am leaving on the design wall--this is one of my latest Studio cutter design quilts--and another huge reason I want to be sewing!  Until later--I am quiltingly yours,
