Deadlines
I knew that the deadline for AQS Lancaster must be soon, so I decided today would be a good time to take care of that. Alas, the deadline IS TODAY! So, nothing for me at Lancaster next year. The deadline for Paducah is Jan 2 so I should attend to that soon. Why do I always wait til the last minute!? I entered two things to Road To California and got the email that one of them was rejected, but nothing about the other one. The official notification date is not til Dec 1, so I will hold out hope..
The past week was spent tweaking the Seasonal piece, changing and adding fabrics. It is still in two pieces but bulky and awkward to work on. I think that I have at least one more change to make and then I will just live with it for awhile and see if anything else demands attention. At this point every change requires that I rip something apart and add in new, sort of like mending, which I hate. I would rather go buy something new than mend or alter clothing! In the meantime the mending pile is growing larger as I see my husband has added yet another garment to the pile.
Last evening, I folded and put away all of the fabrics I was working with and swept up the bits on the floor, so now, if I actually DO this mending today as I plan, the studio will not look too bad for company on Thanksgiving!

I leave my mending on a pile until I completely forget about it and the items go out of style or they don’t fit any longer. Go buy new!! Looks like you could make a denim throw or something quilt-like out of the mending pile, and it would certainly be more fun.

They extended the deadline for Lancaster to December 10th – so try again!
