Catchup - Oct 24th-26th

Oct 24th

We were on the road again!!! Edna and I together and Pat driving Sylvia's car as we had to bring bedding and bath towels etc too. So we're at Roseau River Bible Camp for a smaller OMA's quilting retreat. Place looks lovely. We're here till Thursday.





Oct 25th

Well here are some pics of projects we worked on yesterday. More to come today!






Good morning! Well I've not had baked oatmeal for breakfast before but darn it was good!!! Sylvia is back with her Bali Bedrunner pattern by Judy Niemeyer, having fun matching up. Now I'm caught up with my two October blocks from ACQ BOM, waiting for November's two blocks now. I'm really liking that I decided on the "opposites" for the smaller HSTs. Finally with Adiena's help Edna has her pillow top closer to being finished. And Pat is working on another UFO, this one a square table topper.






Oh oh what is it with October retreats??? But we're having fun. And more indoor art!!!







This is Pat's photo going to breakfast.

So here is a progress report on today. Snow falling thick n steady! Hopefully gone before noon tomorrow!

Working on another UFO project.

Finishing another UFO project, a table topper.

Sylvia got me!!!

Then a nice one!

Edna's lovely ribbon quilt blocks, but ran out of one fabric for two blocks.

Awesome Christmas gift bags ready for the gifts to go into.

Pat's finished UFO paper pieced Snowflake table topper.

Edna starting paper pieced snails tails center blocks.  Love her colours.

Sylvia's 5 Yard Quilt ready for borders.

One side of my tote.

The two pieces with bottoms together. 

Oct 26th

Good morning! What a lovely surprise, someone very sweet (❤️ Adiena ❤️) went and cleaned all the windows on our vehicles! It looks so beautiful out there. The first is from inside, the second from the doorway and (to be added) last few on the walk to breakfast.  Update of pictures from dining hall too.



Going for breakfast!   Lovely out!




I turned around to get this of our sewing/sleeping unit!

There's a zipline here too but not really visible in these pics.




These two are Pat's photos. 



Here's today's projects. Pat's tote just about finished. Sylvia's 5 Yard quilt top finished. Edna continued working on her 4-patches to later on continue her Snails Trails project. I put together a few excess blocks for a large placemat or table topper, will see. No problem driving home after leaving the gravel soupy road behind. Definitely less and less snow closer to Winnipeg.




If you're able to, please attend.
