Northern Pennsylvania doesn't usually see a lot of severe spring weather, but every once in awhile we get a day like yesterday when we have thunderstorms all day long with an occasional tornado warning thrown in for good measure. I would have loved to have spent the day with my sewing machine, but the idea of having my foot on a metal pedal that is attached to an electric outlet during a thunderstorm made me just a bit nervous, so I opted to do some hand basting instead. It was a day well spent, because I now have three crib quilts basted and ready to quilt!

Basting Up A Storm

Can't wait to see how you quilt those, Susan. Be adventurous...
Do you machine quilt over that thread basting? I've been afraid to try that.
A day well spent I would say, gorgeous quilts you are showing us! Yes you are right, yesterday in PA was an adventure, but I am content to stay right here in PA :>D!! Have a great day, watch out for the possible low 30s tonight (predicted for us)!
Great use of your time. Storms are nothing to fool with :-(
Can't wait to see them finished. They look really cute!
Do you always hand baste?
Well done Susan. Looks like you haven't wasted a minute. Did you take any photos of the storm?
