Day 143. Begin Hand Quilting

Cut Basting and Back Fabric larger than top piece

Insert Hoop, Begin Basting Stitches

Well I guess it's the perfect time to sit in front of the boob tube and baste some stiches on to my quilt.  1st the ugly baste stitches, then 2nd the quilting stitches.

3 things I am thankful for:
1) getting to leave work early for the blizzard warning
2) getting that email that said, "if you're not a caregiver, don't come in to work tomorrow"
3) My dad who keeps calling with survival skills, just in case our electricity goes out.  Thanks Dad!

Something I'm not thankful for today:
opening that empty juice container with week old apple juice remnants which contaminated our entire apartment. Yuck!
