I like to hand Quilt while sitting in the sun.

After a busy morning (standing in line at the Post Office is probably the main culprit) my back started hurting. While my DH cleaned out the garage , & installed the new washing machine, I set up in the front yard with a folding chair ;back pillows; and a foot stool & hand quilted. It was 78 degrees, perfect. There was enough light that I didn't need my readers & didn't need to lean over to quilt. No extra back strain!!

I could talk to DH while he worked, wave at my neighbors, watch the birds, laugh at the cats at play... A perfect afternoon.

Here are some pictures of the quilt that I'm working on.

I started it for DFL. Now I do it in his memory.

Part that I already quilted. The stiches are bigger than I like.
