Yeah after picking up Sylvia and Edna we got two fabrics each for our two ACQ BOM quilt project, now to wash and be prepared for the next steps. Then over to Edna's to help with her turtles tote, it's a fussy pattern for her. Then cross country to Mook's and the missing fabrics. YEAH!!!
Once home I finished off the 10 starched snowflakes ready for mail out and then sewed up the second kit I'd bought from Jackie for the ACQ Meals on Wheels program for Christmas. Not sure which is up or down!

Today was errands and helping Edna finish her turtles tote. The pattern instructions could have been easier but we managed! Ohhhh she also finished off her large makeup bag! And thank you Edna for Original Joe's supper afterwards. That moon tonight was huge too!!!

WOW!!! I honestly thought with the cooler temps and wind the last couple days that there'd be nothing left on the trees! Nature fooled me and we still have a lovely autumn day, maybe more?
I just love having in an out good dental checkup!!! Then off for a sewing afternoon with Sylvia, yep sewed up a set of 4 stack n whack placemats and once home turned them ready for quilting. And I also cut ot two sets of 6 stack n whack placemats, hopefully sewing them tomorrow!!!

Another lovely fall day and visit with Sylvia and Edna! First checked out OMA's pop-up shop at CanadInn on Pembina Hwy, then Fabricland before stopping into Marilyn Stother's destash sale. There I found a little something but really a big something for Monica Smith. On our way back we picked up Chinese supper from China Garden, ate at Sylvia's and it was pretty good!!! Then took Edna home before heading home too!
Quickly I finished quilting my set of 4 stack n whack placemats, just in time to hand over to Jackie at Assiniboine Circle Quilters gathering tomorrow!

This morning I joined a few ACQ members to serge up some Bonding Buddies for preemies and had a nice productive few hours. Then joined Edna for a walk along the Sturgeon Creek then back through the street due to construction blockage on the path. I think that was the first time in AGES that I walked without pain but did use both walking sticks.
After relaxing some I pulled out the two pieces of flannel I took home, found a filler in my stash and cut out "48" Bonding Buddies. These are ready for sandwiching, then curve corners marked and serged before handing over to someone to bury ends. Not sure when I'll get to the other stages but they are ready!!!
Oct 22nd
So I'm moving along nicely! All 48 Bonding Buddies are sandwiched. Also the Sashiko mug rugs are also sanwiched, just finished the quilting and ready for the November 23rd Mug Rug Mixer meeting! YEAH!!!
Now I'll clean out my sewing machine after all the flannel stitching. Then set up my serger and finish off the Buddies!!! Guess I'm feeling good and getting lots done!!!
Okay I'm done for tonight!!! Feet are up and watching the Jets hockey and burying ends! GO JETS GO!!!
So I decided to finish off the Bonding Buddies and vacuum both the sewing machine and serger, ready for the next project. Here's 48 Bonding Buddies ready for drop off this week!
Oct 23rd
Today I joined Sylvia at St Vital for some unsuccessful shopping, then car maintenance before heading to her place for afternoon sewing. She prepped for some landscape art pieces and I sewed together a set of 6-cut stack n whack placemats. So one of 3 sets are ready for sandwiching and quilting!
Then she asked I stay for supper, yummy, and like she says so nice to have company for a meal!!! I know exactly what she and Edna mean, even though I am just so used to it.

It looks like another lovely start this morning. Good thing as it's Sylvia's birthday and we're going out for some fun hopefully this evening!!! First it's the Aurora gathering at Pat's again! 💞
Welcome back to Manitoba Norma!!
A too busy of a day for me but it ended on a nice note. After the Aurora gathering I picked up Sylvia and off to Club Regent for our shrimp supper together and hopefully some fun too. We split up to our favourite machines and let the fun play out.
Sylvia said she broke even so that was 1.5 hours of fun. I exchanged my big bills ($90) for $5s and left one $20 intact. So I've a ticket for each $10 except the last $10 that was at $0.30 that I inserted my last $20 for a final peanuts payout. That dang blue fish was overstuffed in the cracked fish bowl but would not burst for me! I gave up and let a young lady have the machine and she burst that bowl but not a big payout! So my total payout was $271.50 from $91.45 put in! That's $180.05 in winnings!!! WOW!!! I ❤️❤️❤️❤️ that Fish Bowl game!!!

WTF!!! I'm totally annoyed with all this streaming, Apple and now it's Amazon Prime to have the rights to sports games, not on normal TV channels? It's bad enough there are 2-4 duplicate viewings of baseball, basketball and/or hockey games but not the one you want to watch or curling games! We all pay enough for cable TV and/or additional channels to hopefully catch the sports one wants to watch!!! We shouldn't have to be restricted with these NEWER fangled options! Totally annoying!!!!!!!
I think it may be an early evening. Was a busy start, picked up Edna and both of us got our Covid and regular flu shots, lunch at Oakwood Cafe before taking her home. Then out to get Sylvia and take her to London Drugs and help with some of her pictures she wanted developed, Staples for Christmas letterhead and stopped into Save on Foods for a couple items before taking her home and me to put feet up before supper. Finished off the evening listening to the Jets losing and tatting an item I needed!

Thank you Adele for the awesome and much needed pick me upper!!! All set for TO!
