Quilt and Quack

I decided to hand quilt Connor's quilt.

The first step before quilting is basting.

So for several days it covered half of the living room floor.

I also marked my quilting lines while it was nice and flat.

It's much easier to do that before it's in the quilt frame.

I had to dig out the frame pieces and assemble them.

I haven't had it out in a year.

My family is awesome putting up with all my quilting things.

Especially when they take over part a room.

Thankfully it fits nicely behind the love seat and under the ceiling fan.

Perfect for lighting.

One of the quilt squares with a crazy dog.

The mark lines will completely wash out.

I'm hoping to start quilting today.

Connor has already asked me how long it will take.

I told him I didn't know until I started. (How's that for not answering the question!)

I'm hoping it will go fast since it's all straight lines except for the dogs and boys.

==========================================================

And now for some ducks!

The other day Nolan came to our bedroom (where the lap top is) and asked what I was watching.

I chuckled and told him I hadn't been watching anything.

The ducks happened to be right outside the bedroom window.

The hens were quacking quite loudly.

(As if they could quack quietly.)

They must have been having a quacking good time!
