Anyway, I mentioned yesterday that I had made a non-art baby quilt, and was going to try to pin it on the Gammill before I went to work.
I have actually only used my Gammill once since January, when I quilted another baby quilt. You know, if you don't do something for awhile, you get out of practice. "Use it or lose it." So, I had purchased my backing fabric, washed and dried it, and got ready to load it on the machine.
Guess what I completely forgot?
You have to piece the backing and square it up before you load it on the machine! Duh!
So I had this three-and-a-half yard long piece of fabric in my hands, looking at the leader for the backing, and doing a mental head smack.
Needless to say, by the time I got my backing ironed, pieced, squared up, trimmed, and cut the batting to size, it was time to get ready for work.
I need to make a little time each day for quilting.
