sleeping pirate king

I got the quilt I am working on all laid out:  back, batting, and top.

I started the safety pin basting.

And the my Beloved helped me and it went much faster.  We talked a lot and got caught up.  We have a hard time remembering everything we wish to tell each other.

The last step was to get it rolled up so I can machine quilt it.  I have a project, or maybe two, to finish and then it is time to quilt.  I have a feeling it is what I will be doing this weekend on my machine.  I will not have any help for the quilting this weekend

All this was possible because the Pirate King Malarkey was asleep on a chair while we were working.  I kept expecting him to wake up!
