Sunset, Stars and Stitching

Sunset a few evenings ago

Six green stars - sadly showing on the dull side

I was going to try and re-photograph this morning but it's wet and grey again so

I stayed with these. The answer would be to move one of my design boards into

the living room when we have these dull winter days, only snag is they're pretty unwieldy

to move around.

Stitching - basting my H quilt

using the method demonstrated by Sharon Schamber using the boards. I had seen this

ages ago but then I had an email following my last post asking if

I was aware of the video on You Tube and that jogged my memory! Thank you Sherrill.

Now my quilt is considerably larger than the pieces of fabric

used in the demo so it took me slightly longer

to set myself up, the main reason for this was that my cutting table

is 80" long and the only option for following her method, my printer had to

be moved off plus my mini set of drawers holding sewing and quilting cottons,  a stack

of fabric pieces waiting to be sorted into scrap drawers, my container with bits and pieces

of sewing necessities.

You can guess where I'm going here - I had to make room for these items

elsewhere  - my large sewing table where I was set up for sewing strips as a break from basting.

I then realised in order for the basted section of quilt to drop down neatly onto

the floor I had to move a set of six cubbies butting up to the table!!

I need a serious rethink in here!

After all that I do think it's a great way of basting, especially when you have

really bad spinal issues, I just couldn't have done this on the floor.

My stitching is not as close nor as neat as that by Sharon but after all the

re-organisation I really didn't care.

Linking up with the last green Saturday for RSC 2015 here
June will be light blues going into blue greens.

Can you believe that we will be into June tomorrow??????
