Friday Finish

... well finished a flimsy.  Let's say the crumb quilt's first phase is done. This is "Flannel Scrap Booking" for DS1.  It is not scrap booking with pictures but for him, it represent his past as clearly as some photos. He will get two quilts on his birthday: one from the past and one for the future. One will reign on his bed (I hope) and the other one will hug him when he is cold, sick, tired or just relaxing on the couch! (I hope). ♥He says he is not leaving home anytime soon♥ but I feel differently. (I hope I am wrong). Anywho, here it is:

I will machine quilt this one (my first one by machine).  I believe I have the backing already for it too. So, this weekend I will iron it good and basted it.  Which is best for machine quilting : baste with pins or thread? I know it depends on the person's preferences but I would like to know which one you recommend.

So now, can I start a new quilt? Ha! ha! ha! NOT! Even though I did receive my latest purchase yesterday, (The best of Fons & Porter Star quilts and some fabric) I canNOT start a new quilt NOW. I have to concentrate on DS2's birthday which is today but we will celebrate tomorrow. ♥Mister 18 years old♥ wants brownies as his birthday cake! Homemade brownies that is!  Well, of course, he will get it.   I will make the sacrifice and gain a few pounds just to please him LOL. The things mothers do!!

Until next time ... SM ;^) LE ... even crooked, it's still beautiful!
