What a nice thing to do on a good day. Your DH is sure a keeper.
And I'll bet he loves his new quilt.

This really does take me back, way back to my childhood and watching Grandma in her rocking chair on the front porch. I was usually churning the milk for butter and buttermilk, but I got my turn on the needles but loved the old pedal machine a lot.

I would have never thought of doing such a thing. It looks gorgeous so show us a full pic of it when you get done. Nothing like being a bit unconventional. :-)

Haven't tried sewing outdoors, except for hand sewing! Hmmmm! :thumbup:
Even tho your pic is blurry, it still looks like a great quilt!

Sewing out of doors...how wonderful. I would love to do that except is was over 100 degrees today. Your quilt is fabulous. Even with a blurry photo we can see how fabulous it is. Lucky guy!

Well you knows that me and my cat wuv's you. Just shake your head yes, (shake it harder my friend!). :lol: You must have threatened him with Strip Yahtzee! I told you that would work! :wink:

What a hero that Charles is. I need a hero in my life. I actually have one, but he doesn't know it yet. ;-) Smooches from me and little BuBu.

When we go camping, I take my sewing machine along and nine times out of ten, I sew outside. I have more room on the picnic table too!

Quilting outside?
Now this is a new idea to me! Can it be considered a sport if you do it outside?
And such a beautiful quilt, too:)
