Hello World!

Are there many feelings as good as finally basting a quilt top?
Like most quilters I have far too much fabric, far too many unfinished quilt tops as well as  quite a few unbasted  quilts - and that's not counting half quilted, unbound and even semi-bound quilts.
I often wish that when I go into a quilt shop I could buy a few fat quarters , some thread and "three hours".  Wouldn't it be grand to have 3 hours where no one expects a lift somewhere, dinner or to be taken for a walk.
Here is a photo of my latest basting, done courtesy of the Sharon Schamber U-Tube link.  It made my day even better Posted by liz at 5:54 PM Hello my friend! Congratulations on your first post.
Hey....I saw that basting video too, but I 'm sure there was thread and stiches involved as opposed to pins. So, it worked out well ? and how is it that you had some spare timber lying around the house?
Look forward to following your quilting journey.
