Spent most do the day working on quilt number 3, a paper pieced quilt by Carol Doak. I've done paper piecing before so it was not too difficult for me. It was a mystery quilt so as we were learning to piece the various blocks we had no idea what it would look like when finished. After lunch we saw several possible "solutions" for it.
Took a break in the afternoon to go to the ice show. It was pretty good, but the condition of the ice was not perfect, causing several of the skates to stumble and fall. there were 10 skaters In the main troupe, plus a special guest who did some amazing tricks with hoops. The rink was really pretty small, too, so what they were able to accomplish was amazing. The costuming was pretty cute, too.
Returned to the sewing room after dinner to work on a block in one of the other quilts that had been giving me problems...and I think I have it perfected now.
Tomorrow is a day in Victoria, BC. Weather is supposed to be near 80. Not sure if I'm going to leave the ship, though, having spent a week there several years ago, and it is close enough to us that we could drive up again. I have no need to do any more shopping as it wii think my suitcases will be full enough!
