Are you like me and as soon as a new quilt has been quilted
you can’t wait to get the binding on it?
Or… are you one of those that loses steam and it sits for months
or sometimes longer until you get the courage to do the last tedious step???
If you’re the latter, well sorry, but I just don’t understand how your brain works!
When it gets to this stage it’s like Christmas morning for me
& I can’t wait to see the finished product in all its glory!!!
That’s why when I got a call at 5:30 last night,
I hopped into my minivan and headed over to Tamara’s to get my newest family member!
Within 5 minutes of returning home it was trimmed.
By 7:00 I had the binding strips cut, sewn together and sew onto the quilt.
By 7:02 p.m. I was in front of the TV watching my favorite Tuesday night shows.
By 8:50 p.m. it was finished!
Now I just need to get the hanging sleeve on it so I can hang it for photography
(sorry to put you through my poor snap shots!)
& for the upcoming shows; Chicago Festival April 6-8
(which by the way I still have comp. tickets for see my last post)
& International Spring Quilt Market May 19-21.
At least I hope I have the covers ready to go to Chicago.
Those dates are not that far away and I have a lot to accomplish for that to happen,
but my photographer is scheduled and Teresa is working on testing the pattern instructions.
You can pre-order “Dresden Rose of Sharon” on my website today!
So what are you binding this Wednesday?
Just Keep Sewing…

I am the latter. I have many quilts that have been quilted and are just waiting for the binding to be attached and sewn down. I’m not sure what that says about me or my brain.
