OOOOHHHHH I hate what those canker or black worms are doing to the trees! I'm all for spraying for them, mosquitoes or whatever the heck tries to invade!!!!!
Well Edna and I again walked Sturgeon Creek pathway about 5 kms (forgot to click off when finished so have auto included in the 7.71 km tracked)! It was an awesome evening and tonight I even got to meet the carver who makes these awesome reindeer pieces hidden amongst trees and in the creek too! He said there are in total 45 reindeer in all pieces - I've not counted! Just so amazed at his creativity and I could tell pleasure in seeing them enjoyed by passersby!
Well here's another special order for 5 large, supposedly plain red, black, purple, orange and blue - but plains are few and far between in my stash. So might be a couple extras??? Ummm not the case, all spoken for.
Well we tried to walk but it started to rain so we quit. Today we met the man making these reindeer decor and he said thd canoe got sunk so maybe a raft next? And we saw two new ones too plus bagpipers practicing!

This morning I finished off, the back at it MPQ Applique BOM, Block #6. Here's the first six all together. Six more blocks to continue working on, hopefully completed for unveiling at the restart of guild meetings this fall! Well all 7 masks were taken upon delivery and the loner mask also finally delivered.

Finally I get to visit today this crew! Last week Taunya's two pups! Now who will be next for a visit at least?
Here's something for those peony lovers (wish I too could enjoy the blooms)!
Ants love PEONIES. A friend just told me how to chase them away so they don’t come inside with your beautiful bouquets. “The trick is to sprinkle powdered pepper on the flowers, wait a few seconds and then shake the blooms upside down. The ants don't like that and they run away. I do that outside before I bring my bouquet inside the house. Never had any problem.” Thanks for passing this on Janice Allen Potvin.

Recently I've participated in our 2019-2020 MPQ Mystery Appliqué BOM Project, Florabunda, 2010 pattern by Erin Russek. She has shared the remaining 4 block patterns with all participants and also offered the Miss Hannah centre medallion pattern free to all 19 members who completed all 8 blocks, unfortunately I was not one of them (only 5 blocks completed) out of 46 participants. I've used the back basted needle turn method and can't believe how accurate this technique is, moreso than the plastic pattern overlay I've tried. Honest I am continuing now that my Covid-19 mask sewing has dropped off and complete my 12 blocks for our hoped for start up meeting in September. This project was possible by the leadersip of Inez, Marion and Tracy, all awesome quilters, who demoed various applique techniques one Saturday to give us an idea of which to choose, thank you.

I'm not sure I heard of this, I was just finishing high school when it was implemented.
