This morning I bound and packaged the first run of the Auction Book.
There was a mix up at the copy shop with our estimate, and we aren't making quite the profit per issue that I would have liked. Still, this is a project that I am very proud of. The quality of the images is just what I wanted, and I think that is more important than profit or who does the binding.
This morning, as I dropped off the first set of books, I learned that the last Scholastic release form had been turned in. This means that we will be able to submit our class book to the Scholastic Kids Are Authors program.
So, with one auction project down, I've moved my full attention to the 4th grade project.
Know what? (Watch me tempt fate here.)
After I finish the 4th grade wall hanging, I'll only have ONE in-progress quilting project (a commissioned queen sized quilt that has been patiently waiting in the background).
I'm savoring this sense of eventual freedom. I'll leave my dance card open, so I can do some smaller, more casual projects when the queen sized quilt is done.... (Lets not talk about how long that will be, okay?)
The pages of the book can be seen here.
