I have returned! After a week in Guatemala serving at Casa Bernabé, a Christian orphanage outside of Guatemala city, it's good to be home. I do miss the peacefulness and the summer weather, though, as well as my lovely teammates. Driving to Antigua, the old capital city, on Friday I was inspired by the many different gratings over the windows and may use the designs for printing fabric or free-motion quilting, but since I arrived home at 2 am this morning, I haven't had much time to make use of these new ideas.
However, my quilt is almost finished! I have quilted it and bound most of it. It was my bright, cheery companion to class and chapel the last two days before spring break and helped me to push through the last days of classes before Guatemala. I hope to add the finishing touches this week.
