Remember this one from last summer?
Day at the Lake - pin-basted and ready for quilting.
First task is to outline all the appliqued characters so that they pop out.
Next, it will be time for quilting the backgrounds.
I can't wait to see this one done and hanging on the wall.
I used Quilters Dream Wool Batting this time.
This one should look familiar: The Starlight / Winter Blues Quilt #2
Pin-basted and ready for quilting.
I plan to do another diamond grid on this one.
Spend the holiday weekend enjoying the new air conditioning, and sandwiching 4 quilts for pin basting.
I have quite a stack ready to be quilted now!
Here's a detail shot of the lovely blues
and the snowflake batik backing.
The Heart of Winter Quilt
with a Hobbs 80/20 cotton batt.
Here it is from the back -- blue spring cherry trees.
Holly's Christmas Quilt -- all pin-basted and ready for quilting.
I am looking for the right Holly motif to do the freemotion quilting.
A wool batt -- because this quilt will be out and in use around Christmas time.
I think it's the Maywood Christmas series.
In case you were interested in my method for pin-basting quilt sandwiches:
My helper, Sophie-the-Newfie, fresh from the groomer.
Actually she stayed out of the way, and slept most of the day to escape the heat.

Goodness, that air-conditioning is making you super productive! A thousand pins indeed - are you sure not more? It will be lovely to see all of these quilted up. A summer's full of work before you.
