Ugh this time more than a week has gone by and I am finally getting the chance to sit down and write. In my defense I ended up really sick with the current flu/cold virus that has been circulating around the area. I decided to share and now my partner Kevin has been really sick as well. I can’t say he is particularly happy with me about that either. Oh well at least we are both on the mend now.
It’s a good thing I am on the mend too as life is getting busy and Mom informed me we only have 6 more weeks before the two of us take off for a cruise through the Panama Canal. Say what? How did that happen? We booked it back in September and it seemed so far away and now it’s only 6 weeks until we go! Oh no!! Better get at that too do list.
Last week with all of the snow and ice I ended up getting snowed in, not that it mattered much I was too sick to go anywhere anyway. I did manage to take the dog for a walk while it was still snowing so we could enjoy the fresh fallen snow. In Victoria we don’t actually get that opportunity too often as it rarely snows here.
The long arm business is picking up these days (yeah) with the help of the good people at The Cloth Castle. I am really enjoying working there. It is a much busier store than Satin Moon quilt shop was. I usually just have short shifts to cover lunch hours and the busy time so it works out very well. Luckily I didn’t have too many shifts last week as I wouldn’t have been able to make it so it all worked out well.
If you live in the Victoria area don’t forget to drop by the store and say hi and check out the bargain tower upstairs, there is some really beautiful quilting cottons upstairs at great prices (considering the price of fabric these days).
Monday was a holiday this week here in BC (Family Day) so I was able to finish quilting a client quilt. I am really happy with the way it turned out.
Here is a photo of the quilt before I quilted it.
This was a fun quilt to work on. I used Superior Threads So Fine 50 No 401 on both the top and in the bobbin for this one.
So now to finish up a little more computer work and then onto the next quilt on the frame.
