Back it up


This floral print is going to be the backing for last years Paducah swap top.  It is wide enough, but the length concerned me.  It was only a couple inches longer than the top.  I was worried that the back would shrink with the quilting, plus I know I lose a bit in attaching the back to the leaders.

To remedy this, I added a four inch piece of muslin at either end.  That will give me a bit of wiggle room.  I can attach the muslin to the leaders without losing any of the length of the backing.

Took Addy for a walk after work yestereday.  It was such a beautiful afternoon, would have been a shame to not enjoy it.  Although I did have a bit of a mishap.  While walking past another dog in it's yard, with Addy pulling like crazy, I walked on some loose gravel and down I went!  Hit the ground with a thud.  haha.  Only thing wounded was my pride.  I did have a little stiffness in my shoulder, and had a bit of tenderness on my bottom.  No big deal.  Good thing I have lots of padding!
