Basting!

I have spent 4 hours in the later part of the day basting my Apple quilt. It is not a part I like doing much. I had to redo one section cause I got a crease in the back, but is all going okay again now. I am more than halfway. I am basting / tacking with thread as I will handquilt it and I don't like safety pins left in it. I quilt on my knee so that is another reason. It feels like I have made real progress today.
My Newsletter from Grandmother's Garden arrived in the mail. Always lots of things to tempt one there. Well now ,back to a little most basting.
