We were up early for coffee and to make our way to \u201cYour #1 Sewing Centre\u201d and to \u201cDooher\u2019s Bakery\u201d which opened at 9:00 am. Everyone we had met coming through the nearby locks and at the tourist information centre told us we had to go to Dooher\u2019s which is famous for doughnuts and other fabulous baking.<\/p>\n

I wanted to go to the sewing store first to see if I could buy a \u201cwalking foot\u201d for the sewing machine. The store had a very small front but opened into a huge area with beautiful cotton fabric for quilting and every sewing supply a person could need.<\/p>\n

I could have spent all day browsing their inventory, but Wally was waiting for me so I planned to come back tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Our aunt Betty, a wonderful quilter, would have loved it! Happily, they had the attachment I needed so I bought that and then met Wally at the bakery.<\/p>\n

My dad used to say he\u2019d \u201cdied and gone to heaven\u201d when he tasted something wonderful. This was pretty much how we felt going into the old-time bakery. The shelves stacked with doughnuts, muffins, cakes, pies, tarts, bread. Very friendly staff helped with decision making.<\/p>\n

We had to practice some restraint as bread doesn\u2019t usually keep that well on a boat. We came out of there with cardboard boxes and paper bags full of goodies.<\/p>\n

Today was granddaughter Zoe\u2019s 20th<\/sup> birthday. Wow, how did that happen? We called her in Kamloops, sang Happy Birthday to her and had a nice chat.<\/p>\n

The weather started to degrade, and it began raining in the early afternoon.\u00a0 The rain wasn\u2019t too hard but steady and continued into the night.<\/p>\n

Mitred corners front and back<\/p><\/div>\n

I got the sewing machine out and with the help of the internet figured out how to install the walking foot. Further adjustments were needed for the machine tension. Then I had to decipher how to make a mitred corner, which is a way to remove bulk at corners to keep them flat. YouTube videos saved the day! There were a few less than successful attempts but I finally figured out the attachment, the tension and how to sew the mitred corners.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure how much more sewing I will be able to get done this year on the boat. It\u2019s best if I can do the cutting and sewing onboard and fit the coverings as I go but that might not be possible. It will be a good winter project. I\u2019ll take photos and measurements of the windows before we go home. Good thing I bought extra fabric!<\/p>\n

The rain continued sporadically through the day. Our patience was rewarded with a beautiful rainbow early that evening.<\/p>\n
