Did sew a few inches of binding on Katie's quilt, took care of some paper work and paid bills then I went grocery shopping for a few odds and ends. Came home and got everything put away then back to the sewing room to stitch a few more stitches around the binding. If you're not a quilter you have no idea how long it takes to hand sew a quilt binding down on a 70" x 86" quilt. Just have to keep plugging away at it, then start on Williams, same size. I've tried doing a binding by machine but didn't like the way it looked at all. No sense in making a mess of the final part of a quilt after all the time and effort that goes into getting it to this point.
I'm going to set up the embroidery machine tomorrow to make the labels for both quilts rather than just write one with pigma pen. Let the machine do the walking. LOL George will be working on the rehab project he's been helping with all summer.
I'm going to swap some 10" sqs. with some friends, need to pick colors that represent the 70's, blues, turquoise, oranges, etc. and start cutting them.
