Catchup - March 18th-22nd

March 18th

 Lovely day at MPQ with my neice Pat (Sylvia and Edna absent this time) and nice to see the three vendors there too along with their demos/presentations!  Today I also spent the remainder of OMA's gift card from the virtual retreat!  I know exactly what I'm going to make from this!  Hopefully it'll be a lap or mini quilt, will see!  Then we went to Sylvia's for lunch and she joined us checking out the Meadowood quilting retreat before dropping Pat at home.  We stopped into Fabricland before dropping Sylvia off and me home to relax!   Too early this morning for me!!!

Autumn's colours.

Thanks for the class 66 bobbins Rose Anne.

Monica, I got a great sale so thought not worth trying to find thrift store ones!  💞

March 21st

I miss my summer sightings of this!  Even had a few trips on her too!

I'm caught up on my daily blocks!  Just 3 or 4 more to stitch up!

March 22nd

Well what a busy day!  I badly needed my Chiropractic appointment this morning.  Then picked up Sylvia and we headed off to Laundry World to wash/dry five quilts.  Edna introduced me to this place and I'm impressed how large,  clean, bright and very few machines out of service!  They have two huge tumble washers that 2 queen quilts can be washed together and dryers big enough for one quilt to tumble dry nicely.  Then home to stretch out to finish air drying them and back to my stitching!

Here's the next block and glad it's an easy one!

Well it's only taken me 2-3 years to replace Sylvia's gifted pin cushion that I totally wore out the top to smithereens!!!  But finally a lovely and necessary sewing accessory!   I recycled her fibre fill and coaster, but added more fibrre, a top pouch with ground Turkish emery,  replaced the shelf liner under the coaster and the Sorbet lid ring too, that was cracked.  I even for the first time ever used my curved needle to attach the cushion to the tile base, lots easier than trying to use a regular needle.  I looks so lovely until I transferred my various needles and pins onto it!  😆  Now to rest my overworked left thumb which is giving me grief!
