WIP: Stitchface loses its moniker.

So. Scratch the Burden stitch. I just liked how it looked better without the yellow over top of it, so off it came.


I got the borders of Guatemalan fabric sewn on and cleaned the kitchen floor yesterday so I could get the thing basted. I've been pretty anti-basting in the past, and yesterday's 3+ hour session sucked pretty hard. I've seen a "basting gun" advertised - it's like one of those guns that clothing retailers use to put tags into garments. That would be better than the whole pin and then thread baste method I'm stuck with, but I'd really much rather have a Basting Elf, who would tell me jokes while she worked.

At any rate, that's done and I'm not planning any big projects anytime soon. These little quilts let you get away with a safety pin in each corner.
