What spray do you use? Do you have special way to store them so the stickum doesn't unstick? Maybe I just woman-handled mine too much? I can't blame Angel Kitty because she has no interest in unfinished quilts (I think she might not actually be a cat!)Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06306854459459257368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-54802433749317762082019-12-03T05:17:59.491-08:002019-12-03T05:17:59.491-08:00You are doing really well on your approach to 2020...You are doing really well on your approach to 2020. I truly do hope Semper Fi continues to be a fun quilt project for you, and that the quilting goes smoothly. I need to follow your lead and baste more than one quilt at a time. Such a good idea. piecefulwendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02256164519304112032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-8802803311425726882019-12-03T03:24:25.654-08:002019-12-03T03:24:25.654-08:00You are good at reaching goals as you put a plan t...You are good at reaching goals as you put a plan together. Semper Fi will just be a series of plans as you process through the quilt. You can even give yourself bonus points as you complete the plans! Bonus points could turn into a massage for those achy shoulders or another pampering session to relieve stress. Jacuzzi? A soaking bat? Or a walk? Whatever makes you say, "Ahhhh"<br /><br />I’m thinking on your 20 for 2020. Not sure what idea will percolate but it is a clever way to set goals for the new year.

You will do just fine.

Make sure to take lots of breaks to snuggle the kitties (I hear they are great stress relievers, but mine seem to be better at shredding paper and stealing food *ahem Finn*) so you don't get those stress headaches. And I'm curious to know how the spray basting will hold up to the amount of handling needed for hand-quilting. My experience on smaller pieces has not left me feeling confident, but perhaps my el-cheapo spray is part of the problem? Regardless, that quilt is great and is on my maybe-bucket list!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01515254293191853580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-33998104853388476152019-12-02T11:54:57.014-08:002019-12-02T11:54:57.014-08:00Semper Fi is H U G E !!

You have some lovely quilts in line there.<br /><br />We lived in the Berkshires when first married and I do miss looking at the mountains every day; now we are at sea level...so different views...but also lovely ...hugs, JulieroseJulierosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04079686021190332890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-31386507559912534782019-12-02T10:42:11.944-08:002019-12-02T10:42:11.944-08:00All four quilts look so good.The Semper Fi looks e...All four quilts look so good.The Semper Fi looks even more enormous laid out to be sandwiched. Remember to pace yourself and take rests and it should all go smoothly. You don't want to cause tension headaches, back,neck or shoulder pain before your trip. I know it will look amazing when the quilting is all done so good luck. Meanwhile your kitties look so snug and cuddly. Picasso doesn't understand the weather. He asks to go out the back door but is soon back because it's so cold and then he tries the front as it may be warmer. I wish he'd just curl up and sleep.Lyndseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01984204149343024935noreply@blogger.com
