more pins needed

[incandescens]

Hm. Working with lawn (the fabric, that is, not the grass outside, not that I have a lawn outside in any case) is more difficult than I had thought. Lovely lightweight stuff, very gorgeous, but very easy for it to shift. More pins are necessary. The end result is pretty, though. (Quilt for coworker's grandchild in progress: I'm backing it with plain white cotton to make it a bit more stable.)

In terms of sheer page count, about 1/8 of the way through book 2 rewrites. On the other hand, this is the easier chunk of the book where I don't think I need any major changes. Let's hope the momentum keeps me going at this rate.

Ended up not watching the new Musketeers series after all. Still, I'm sure it will be shown again this week before episode 2 comes up, and I'll see what people elsewhere have to say about it.

Yeah, lawn! I almost never work with the stuff. Good luck!

Thank you!

(It is Liberty's Tana Lawn, so I am being very gentle with it...)

My mom used to use sticky tape (double-sided, I think) when she sewed fabrics that were very shifty (Love satin, but it's like working with water - stuff just slides all over the place).

I think I've seen that tip elsewhere too. Thank you!
