I joined an online class this morning on precision piecing. The instructors were in Powell River for an in-person class a few years ago so today was a good refresher. I’d stopped using many of their techniques (even though I knew they worked) and I’ll get back into it again.

I did a bit of tidying in my sewing room for the remainder of the morning. I had to stop at a Guild member’s house today to pick something up. I hadn’t seen Penny for at least two years and we had a very brief chat at her door. I also had a book that I wanted to drop off at the library but even the book drop was closed. I knew they had a water incident more than a week ago and I was surprised that it affected the book drop, but maybe it’s because no one is working to keep it emptied.

When I got home I sorted out some fabric for the April postcard that Stacia, Deloise and I will work on next week. After the postcard is finished I plan to start quilting another large quilt so I cleaned and oiled my machine, changed the needle, and wound some bobbins. I even have my quilting pattern figured out.

It was such a different day today from yesterday. The temperature was about the same but there is quite a difference in how it feels depending on whether you are in the sun or, like today, out in a very stiff breeze with some rain.

I have a bit of time left this afternoon and I’m going to dig out my April UFO and see if I can get a bit of that done over the weekend.
