BASTING
and MORE basting...
It's part of the process, and moves me closer to completion...and sometimes I can get a little bit of a Zen thing going when I baste. But it's still my least favorite part...

words i try to live by
Want what you have.
Do what you can.
Be who you are.
-Forrest Church
simple gifts
'Tis the gift to be simple,
'Tis the gift to be free,
'Tis the gift to come down
where we ought to be,
And when we find ourselves
in the place just right
'Twill be in the valley
of love and delight.

I know what you mean! I've taken to safety-pin basting the quilts that i'll be machine quilting. Pin basting or thread basting goes a lot faster with friends, i've discovered...the extra hands speed the work as does the sociability. Last year at quilt retreat i pin basted the chuppah (that i hope to finish at THIS year's retreat!) and with my friend Gail helping, it went a lot easier.
