I thought basting was a culinary term!

I was basting the Angelina Ballerina quilt in my very, very, very small kitchen. I had to push some of the fabric on one side and tape the other side. This was proving to be very annoying. I could only baste half of the quilt at one time. Well, I did what any other sane person would do. I ripped up it from that very, very, very small kitchen floor and took it to the carpet in the living room. As I was doing that I thought, "I'd rather be basting a chicken!"

That put a smile on my face and I proceeded to baste the darn quilt on the carpet. Well, that wasn't a good idea either. I'm finding that with machine quilting you have to really have the sandwich taut. We'll try again tomorrow! The whole thing made me feel like my son. He got angry when we took a lemon away from him tonight before bed time. Awe...
