Nice pattern and directions for using a glue stick for basting! I didn't see her baste the backing, but guess it's the same as for the front.
When I was in Cambridge I used liquid glue to help me place my binding. Worked so well. I was on a metal kitchen table and I think I just pressed every few inches to dry the glue. I shared to the Liberated Quilters group in Yahoo and got a comment on how I was destroying the fabric. That was before spray basting. I wonder if that woman has switched from the basting she was using (would have been pin or needle and thread)? I sort of stopped writing on that group after that. It had been so fun to be in that little group. The leaders then advertised so it grew by leaps and bounds. And there were too many people then. Everyone wanted to be nice and respond to posts but there wasn't very much new content or sharing. Then Yahoo stopped supporting their group system so it disbanded as far as I know.
Anyway glue stick basting seems like a good idea to try.
I have glue sticks waiting to try it with. Just have to finish a quilt!

Earlier in the week, my guys made me a delicious and beautiful birthday cake, burnt almond. I found four (stainless steel!!) cake pans from my mom, that made the process much easier to end up with four layers.

She also does a good job of showing how to bind a quilt too. Similar to how I think I do it, but would be nice to refer to too.
Photos from the zoo and previous week below:
These were little birds, so light they could sit on the leaves. Other types of birds were flying down and dipping their feet in the water, then they would fly to a tree branch and shake the water off. There were at least eight of those birds doing it. One at a time, in no particular order.
My first time seeing the water lilies here. Made me think how my Godmother decided to change her pool so she could grow them. I remember my mom made a comment to me about how it was so dark one wouldn't be able to see if there was a body at the bottom of the pool!
In person these Bee Eaters were so cute, shoulder to shoulder on the branch.
A pretty duck by the Polar Bear exhibit.

Today is Monday on the Pedometer screen. Last Friday I went walking with the same friend at Costco. I used to walk by myself and called friends to chat, but now they are all busy and do not have time to chat so I haven't been walking as much....
And although I miss little Buffy, little Melon is lots of fun to be with:
The vet recently said she was 6 pounds. Son got her as a rescue the end of August, she was just a few weeks old I think.
