Work on the New York Beauty is in the final hours, and progress has been good. Friday morning I pieced the backing and gave the top the final pressing. That's where the fun ends and the chore begins...Basting the quilt took the better part of the day (including a trip out for another 100 safety pins. They seem to keep disappearing...?) In my mind, quilt basting is one of those miserable topics suitable for a country and western song...right up there with your dog dying and your partner leaving. It's a relief when it's finished...

So would the music play backwards when you remove the pins? ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful!
Hi Karen,
ReplyDeleteLOL - I think my songs are more whiny these days ;-)
I got that lovely Kayser off eBay - I think the seller was very surprised it didn't go for more than I paid. I have an Eatonia as well (lovely carved box), several Singers, some treadles (a Raymond, a Husqvarna sans treadle, a Wheeler and Wilson and one or two others) and I think a couple of hand cranks. What I DON'T have is enough room to display them all properly. Some day I'll photograph my collection and post some more pictures.
