Barn Lot Quilts.....Backings and Basting

It's been more than a month since I posted

my progress on the Barn Lot Quilt Series...

All 5 quilt tops have borders...

3 weeks ago I hand dyed backings for them...

Last week I attended a quilt retreat

and basted all 5 of the quilts:

Cotton Batting

505 Spray Baste

While hand dyeing backings, I made an extra one

for my sunflower quilt....BONUS!

Here are all of the quilts piled on the bed

basted and ready to go under the needle.

I have a January 26th deadline...eek!

During our Winter Quilters Retreat...

the cattle stopped by for a visit

at the Quilt Palace

They cows kept us company while we stitched

I am at home now working in the Thread Shed.

I am machine quilting the Barn Lot quilts

on the Sweet Sixteen (Sit Down Long Arm).

More To Come...

May Your Bobbin Always Be Full,
