Quilter Pinning Fabric Squares on Lima Display Ledge

Flat noon light falls through sheer curtains, casting a soft, even glow across a painted wooden ledge in Lima. A pair of hands presses down fabric squares onto a thick layer of white batting, securing them with silver pins. The table surface is clean and uncluttered, showing the grain of the wood beneath the work. Cool season air is suggested by the heavy, textured weave of the cotton fabrics in muted earth tones. The fabric edges align precisely as the pins pierce through the layers. A shadow from a pin falls sharply across the white batting, marking the exact point of tension where the thread will eventually hold.
