Trio update

All three pieced tops are now embroidered, and ready for quilting. See?


But before quilting must come basting. I always sigh at basting; I'd rather get right to work. It really is necessary for this sort of thing, though. Plus, when you need to draw a line that is sure to leave no mark as soon as you're done with it, nothing beats a thin piece of thread.


While I'm showing you pictures, take a peek at these pages from my work book (sketch book? idea book?). This is the basic planning I began with, the careful plotting out of the pieced tops. Pre-planning is helpful.
