This past week has been a whirlwind of activities. The trip to Chicago went well, I learned a lot at the the technical forum. I also enjoyed the training at company head quarters. I learned a lot there as well. What I didn't have was much time to do anything else.
Unlike past trips, I did not get to just head up to my hotel room after the day's meetings. There were meals, happy hours and social networking taking place every night. Plus the co-workers that live in the area were determined to keep us entertained. I maybe got 1 hour in the hotel room each night. That was mostly tied up talking on the phone with my husband.
I was going to stitch on the plane or in the airport but on the way out I discovered I didn't have any needles in my bag. Apparently the magnet I had my needles and threader on fell out before I packed it. So the first day I just chatted with my travel partner. When I got to the hotel I tried to find a sewing kit. The gift shop didn't have any. I ended up asking at the hotel desk on the second day. They gave me a travel sewing kit. So I was able to stitch in the evenings. The flights back and airports were so crowded that I didn't dare try to sew for fear of stabbing someone.
I did managed to get one Hexie flower stitched together and start another one. Not much progress for a week. But at least I did stitch a little bit. I have been home 2 days that have been filled with trying to track down my bag, running errands and going to church. I am exhausted from my trip but I hope to at least get a couple of labels on some quilts.
Did you stich everyday?
