I basted an old top on the frame so I could hand quilt it. Much easier to baste on the frame. I used to layer a quilt on the floor and crawl all over it to baste it. Took a long time and I was so stiff and sore the next day. Basting on the frame is so much easier. I know that I can use the machine to make the stitches, but I hand basted. This will be my traveling project to work on when my son has basketball practice.
I also started to quilting on this baby boy quilt. It is a panel that I added the borders to. The borders are deconstructed fabric that coordinates with the panel. I have a baby girl quilt to get started on.
There is a lot of fall going on here. I know the changing leaves are pretty.
I know my family is supported by the harvest. You can see by the dust how dry things have been here this summer.
Most of the other plants are done blooming. I miss them. I love the color of this mum....
but I hate the thought of winter being just around the corner. :(
