Sorry I have been absent, having some teck issue with formatting. Since I last posted:
 |
| piecing the back of the Dogwood Quilt, yes I know, still that one! |
 |
| backing done, grab the Basting Basket and head upstairs to the Dining Room table, contents include a pincushion, 30 wt Knit-Cro-Sheen crochet thread, scissors. Note the magnetic strip glued to the side of the basket, because I always misplace my needles. |
 |
| the boards, the quilt wrapped on the boards, ready to baste |
 |
| my Sweet Lucy, bored to sleep during the piecing of the backing...I hear ya Sister! |
 |
| the top is wrapped onto the board right side up |
 |
| the advantage of this method is that you can put a little tension on theh fabric as you wrap it on the boards which helps with the unintentional pucker. This is the backing wrapped onto the board, wrong side up. |

I will take a pause over the week end because I need the dining room table for entertaining. My Dear Son has a Birthday and we have a Fathers Day celebration as well. Studio re-do snaps coming up, I have found a tea set that you will enjoy and I have another quilt to baste. (insert yawn and moan here) and I have an all day workshop on Tuesday to learn Fabric Collage. See you next week!
