Working from home....

After the first three weeks at home we started alternating a week in the office and a week at home (now with laptops and headsets).  I am limited at what I can accomplish from home to answering and processing emails and answering the phone.  That leaves a lot of sewing time since I set up my "home office" in the sewing room.  I wear the headset while sewing and when the phone rings I answer and I check the email about once an hour or so, process them and get back to sewing.

I was at home one week and my MIL had to have surgery, then she spent the next week in the hospital with a blood clot.  My super supervisor allowed me to work from home the second week in a row because I commute to work is 40 minutes in the opposite direction from the hospital where my MIL was (in case I was needed).  Then another week at home because it was my week.

I started this quilt on Sunday while sitting with my MIL at her home and finished it on Thursday while working from home.

It was made with a layer cake and some white fabric.  I did order some yardage of a coordinating fabric that was striped to use for the border and I have some small stripe fabric, also coordinating that I will use for the binding.

I've been quilting for many years but I have never tried a mitered border until now.  I quite impressed myself.  Check it out.

If you zoom way in you can see the seam in the beige w/flower stripe.

And then there's this.....

For some reason every time the toilet paper runs out my 7 year old granddaughter creates this instead of just putting the toilet paper on the roll.

The first time she did it I told her the toilet was in time out because I caught it smoking.  And that she would have to use another bathroom for a while.

What's a grandmother to do?????

This is going to be another work from home week.  Although Wednesday is deadline day so the phones will be busy on Tuesday and Wednesday.  I still plan to start a quilt or maybe two.

Wishing you more quilting time than I will have.
