Marked and Basted


Who needs a light box when I have HUGE windows and painter's tape!!  It takes a while, I have to do it during the day and it helps if it is a sunshiny day (yep I was expecting a lot for the beginning of December in Ohio!)


I did wash it between embroidery and marking.  And for those that saw the color catchers that came out with the Crown quilt this is what came out with this one.


All marked and ready for basting.  I have been quilting for a few days.  It will take a while, I really do not expect to have it done before her arrival date -January 11th.  Plus who knows when she will decide to arrive anyway!  


This is the back.  It is mostly a Cabbage Patch Kid sheet that came from my mother's house a couple of months ago.  My younger sister (not the one who is expecting though) and I had these sheets as kids.  It is coming along, so much gets in the way though.  I wish I could just spend like 3 weeks doing only quilting in front of the TV for like 10-12 hours a day...not going to happen ever!  HAve a great night all!
