It's another girls sewing weekend at Sylvia's. I'm working on my 2.5" 4-patches for the next step of the ACQ BOM, strip piecing and get to use my gizmo to separate them. Edna is continuing with her paper pieced Snails Tails blocks. Sylvia was working on her MPQ Quilt Reflections Challenge Quilt but no pics till the show in April. Then she switched to her fussy blocks Cut and Fold sampler for now, she loses patience with the workings. Pat is using up her left over pieces from a quilt she finished in October 2024, nifty! Love it!!! Border is next.
I had made a delicious shrimp stirfry for lunch but are going out to Southdale Village Family Restaurant for supper before quitting for the day!

Well it's a wrap for this weekend's sewing fun! We continued from yesterday! Edna going strong on her Snails Tails blocks, Pat finished her mini pastel quilt n started a Dresden Plate project, but not sure what it'll become! Sylvia is determined to finish her time consuming project and is down to three blocks of satin stitching left before assembling. Me, well I finished off my itsy bitsy 1.5" squares individually sewn into 2.5" 4-patch squares and then 10 finished blocks. See I wanted the gold fabric but it was mistakenly cut up, sewn up and then ripped out and set aside, thankfully still enough for these blocks! Then I tackled Janet's large baggie of already sewn up HSTs and have an idea planned for a 36" NICU coverlet project from them!
Today Sylvia prepped a dehydrated package I gifted her for Christmas into soup with leftover ham and fresh tea biscuits - YUMMY!!! Supper was A&W with coupons!
Love it!!! Maybe even other seasonal images???

Janet from ACQ gave me another large baggie of scraps, these are around 2" HSTs already sewn together. So tonight, feet up, pressing station on my lap and using totally my forgotten mini Clover iron I'm pressing and sorting these for my new NICU coverlet idea!!! Stay tuned for the reveal, whenever that will be!!! Thank you Janet!

Today was a quiet day but the afternoon went over to Sylvia's for more puzzle time, her's too is slow going! Also another scenic fabric art by Sylvia for her neighbour.
Then home for odds and ends plus an update on my gifted impressionistic puzzle too!
Ohhhhh boy!!! No fun being woken up by beeping smoke detector at 5:30am!!!!! 🤪 Ear plugs in and back to sleep till 8am and hopefully soon the caretaker will silence it!
Update: replaced afternoon! Unit faulty, not battery.

Again TSN/Rogers/Shaw continue to aggravate me by not allowing me to view Jets hockey with the Rogers Xfinity Stream while away from home! NO I am not paying extra, I'll continue listening on CJOB 680!
