I had the tv on just about all day yesterday watching all of the inauguration. History in the making. I know we are all hoping that President Obama can accomplish a lot but it will take time and I hope people will remember it won’t change overnight.
Because I spent the day at home yesterday I managed to get a bit of sewing done! I got the backing pieced for the quilt that has the miniature double wedding ring in the center. After that the coffee table got moved out of the way and the quilt top, backing and batting spread out on the floor. While I was watching tv I got the quilt pin basted – one project ready for the quilting hoop – now I’m just waiting for the hand quilting thread that I ordered. I like to use variegated thread and truthfully I have forgotten which color I ordered. It should arrive in the next couple days and then I can get started quilting it.
I had spent about 4 hours total at the quilting frame yesterday and made more progress on the scrappy Irish Chain that is on the big frame. In maybe another 25 to 30 hours I think I will be done with it and then “Insanity” my first Dear Jane will take it’s place.
Yesterdays question was The technique of “piecing” best describes which step of the quilting process?
Answer is Sewing small pieces of fabric into a larger design.
Next question: (Remember these are supposed to be for beginners!)
What is the middle layer of a quilt called?
A- Batting
B- Blanket
C- Stuffing
D- Fleece

Batting I think. Have a great day.
Hi, Karen. Thanks for you kind comment on my blog. January this far north is always a little depressing. I got out in the sun today and got to see some other adults (yay playgroups!) so I”m feeling a bit better.
You are an amazingly productive quilter! I love your Insanity Revisited quilt.
And the answer is batting.
