Hello everyone! My quilt has been assembled, basted / pinned for the next phase of my "Odyssey"! A GREAT BIG THANK-YOU to all my friends who helped to get the work done! You're the best! Also a BIG Thank-you to Oklahoma Quiltworks (
http://www.okquiltworks.com/ ) for allowing us to use their classroom in which to assemble it.
Four special friends and myself gathered on Thursday at Oklahoma Quiltworks to get my quilt ready for the next step (quilting). We ironed, layed out the backing, added the batting and then the top, taped the edges, then sewed and pinned for most of the day. But the job was finally done, and I'm really excited and ready to move on to quilting it.

Your photos make it all look so easy but we know that is far from the truth. I'm so glad you got it all done and had such wonderful friends to help you. Good luck and best wishes to you on quilting it.
ReplyDeleteThat looked like so much fun! Ditto the above comments. Wouldn't it be nice to have the quilting frame mom had? :D
