WFH Day

Wednesday, September 21, 2011

Today our company had a WFH Day to test our DR plans. Now, if you are among the lucky ones who don’t know what all that means, let me reword… Today our company had a Work From Home Day to test our Disaster Recovery plans. Not a disaster like a natural disaster or anything, but one like if the building we work in burned. Our board of directors requires that we be able to continue servicing our clients and we had the choice of setting up a second work site or setting everyone up to work from home. The second one was not only more economical since most people already have cell phones and internet and their own laptops or computers, but it was also much more desirable to us workers!

Anyhow, once the test was done, there was a little time left in my day. I didn’t have anything to show you this weekend because I grouted my tile and couldn’t really get a picture that showed the before and after difference. So, instead I will show you what I did today.

This is a square I made for the Let’s Bee Together Swap. The pattern and fabric were chosen by the recipient of the month. Isn’t it pretty?

This next square is for my partner this month in the Block Swap Adventure. I feel like I cheated choosing such a simple block, but she wanted country and what is more country than a Hole in the Barn Door? Plus that fabric was busy enough that I felt a simpler block would be better. Hope my partner agrees.

And I prepped some fabric I purchased for a Mystery Quilt on Quilters Club of America website. I haven’t done one of these before and I found choosing the fabric very nerve wracking!

Ok, that’s it. Back to the grindstone!


May your bobbin always be full!

I am glad your work from home plan was fine. The blocks are so cute, I love the first over and under one.

Hey Melissa! I think your DR plan to work from home is definitely the right choice, especially due to the economy. Makes good sense to me!

All of the blocks you made are beautiful...I think your swap partner will be happy with her block... I know I would if I was her! And you did a great job putting together your fabrics for the mystery quilt...I really love that print on the far right.

XOXO,

Cyndi

I WFH most days. It is nice not to have to commute, but it can be hard to get folks to leave me alone since I don't look like I'm at work.

Lovely blocks!
