Playing Catchup Still - South Beach

Shopping with Sylvia after getting my hair fixed up!  Thank you so much Adele  for the hair styling tips too!

Was told maybe one more cut and it'll be at the stage for the new style - very similar to this but the length!

At OMA's quilting retreat with my sister.  We're still waiting for our room as they had two bus tours with 1pm checkout.  At least we're sewing but Len is in a chair waiting to stretch out and check the TV out!

Well it's an early night as we're all tired from not sleeping good.  But I did sew up a block for Grand Forks Quilters Eden Challenge then 'rippit' and changed the outer background fabric pieces.  So will finish off tomorrow and go onto another project.  BUT OH what horrible forest fire smoke filtering in through the ventilation system.

So far here's what was accomplished yesterday by Sylvia and myself and what we're working on today.

Second baby quilt from leftovers fabrics from OMA's Fold Tear n Drop project in 2016.

My first attempt at mini for Grand Forks Quilters Eden Challenge.

Sylvia's second project. 

My itty bitty second project using challenge fabrics.

And yesterday we finished off the following.  Lovely time quilting interspersed with a bit of casino.

My mini just needs layering and quilting. 

Sylvia's 3 blocks of 16 in total - all different.

I forgot to take a picture of my third project I started this morning at South Beach.  This circle of flying geese needs to be appliqued onto the rose fabric then trimmed for a 1/4 inch frame then appliqued onto the grey floral and maybe edged with the same purple as the geese.  I'll also pad and applique the centre fabric in place too.


Also I gambled with $50 and cashed out winnings of $42.72 in vouchers - not bad for my two day stint I'd say plus all the sewing and friendship enjoyed.

Got back to the city in time to walk Katsu this afternoon and then settle in here for a stay!  He remembered me as he ran straight for the squeaky pig I bought him ages ago and played with it for a couple hours before settling down.   Now to get back into my 3X a day walking routine with him.
