Too soft for my own good...

Regular readers will know I am a bit lazy and I send my quilts, wadding and backings off to my LQS (Local Quilt Shop) to be layered and basted on their longarm machine.  In fairness to myself, most of the reason for this is because I ALWAYS seem to get 'back wrinkles' whenever I layer up myself, no matter how many pins I put in or how careful I am: which makes the hours of crawling about on the floor putting the flipping pins in even more resented!  For me, the additional cost (which isn't as much as you might think) of this process is WORTH IT, the main issue being I have to get myself organised and make sure I have the tops and backs ready to bring across to the UK with me.  It's OK once I get into the rhythm of 'drop off' the ones to be layered and 'pick up' the ones I left last time but I admit it has meant an extra page on my 'To Do' list so I can check I AM actually where I think I am with things hehe.

Anyway, on the latest trip back to the UK it was a fairly equal 'drop off 4, pick up 4' exchange, so I have a fair amount of quilting to do now on my 'big girl' Janome Horizon 7700 (also known as Geraldine for reasons lost in the mists of time).  Or I would, were THIS not the case...

Yes, Gauloise and Centi seem to fondly imagine I have been kind enough to get them a comfy, extra-large cat bed...

... and the saddest thing??  I didn't have the heart to turf them off, and instead went to do something else ....

    Fifth generation quilter (at least!), Welsh, but living in France; I've been told I'm crazy, but the jury is still out on that one...
