Then came June.... and I had to leave Vasa for nearly a week to go to Hanko and complete two intensive courses in pedagogy. With me, I took some hand sewing EPP blocks for both R(ed) is for Rita and my Secret Hearts quilt.  I took the most boring pieces I could with me - just so I would be forced to finish them if I had any leftover time.
