Our cats are all outside cats but my poodle cuddles under/on every quilt when I am doing the hand sewing on the binding.Not Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01450458967223521985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-52365782602984861312009-06-15T13:55:59.664-04:002009-06-15T13:55:59.664-04:00Like you, I always panic when I'm going away, ...Like you, I always panic when I'm going away, and take plenty of sewing, thinking I'll run out, but I never do!Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11028823449044689373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-72496493876148070092009-06-15T11:39:48.503-04:002009-06-15T11:39:48.503-04:00My largest kitty, Baby (20#+) always squeezes hers...My largest kitty, Baby (20#+) always squeezes herself into baskets, boxes, bowls...whatever she can get her toes in. Then she settles around it like a chicken sitting on an egg. Too funny!<br /><br />Since I love scrappy bindings I usually have 20+ seams to worry about. If the quilting muse is with me even though a seam is at a corner it behaves and miters as it should.<br /><br />Sewing binding on is like a final goodbye to a friend. Unless it is one I get to keep for myself.<br />Have a great week.<br />And I love your toes!SubeeSewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14952143788729940825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-16443396138150714742009-06-15T09:40:39.556-04:002009-06-15T09:40:39.556-04:00Bonnie, I really enjoy your blog.

I've been having problems since installing IE8 and have now installed FireFox which I should have done ages ago. Thanks for all your valuable info.CarlaHRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12556595932264988748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-33569458228186226392009-06-15T09:15:03.489-04:002009-06-15T09:15:03.489-04:00I'm with Tazzie "fall where you may you d...I'm with Tazzie "fall where you may you darn seams....

I have to confess tho, I don't redo the seams, I let them fall where they may, and then curse when it's time for the hand stitching ...

How do I know if a price is good or not on a quilt? I've found a lovely blue and white signiture quilt with what looks like water stains on it.... I ran out of time to ask the lady at the shop how much.... but it was there last time and well, hopefully if it's still there and all maybe I can get it for a good price. But, what would be a good price? If I recall right it's maybe a twin size or somewhat larger. Thanks.<br />Jean DJCogdill@msn.comJeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11744073613012413496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-85863435531018061642009-06-14T15:32:14.328-04:002009-06-14T15:32:14.328-04:00Dear Bonnie,

(I was really cutting it close for having enough of the fabric that I wanted for the binding, and had to use just about every last piece I could find, no matter how small.) Like others have mentioned, I did a rough pinning to make sure the seams didn't hit the corners. Somehow I, too, had the muses with me. Enjoy your day. I continue to enjoy your blog and continue to work on my Double Delight!<br />Best wishes, Kathie L.Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13842933448274247062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-25788012844798921142009-06-14T14:11:25.818-04:002009-06-14T14:11:25.818-04:00I too will do anything to avoid the binding blues....I too will do anything to avoid the binding blues. I too roughly pin the binding on and try to move any seams out of the corner's way. It's a bit of work, but a big payoff... Love your blog and appreciate all the work you put into it. I signed up on the link for the magazine's blog the other day. I feel LUCKY!!!.GailM.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08421904793462089719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-45803582696606610292009-06-14T12:31:54.054-04:002009-06-14T12:31:54.054-04:00Lovely quilt ... beautiful cat.

At the suggestion of a friend, I finally started pinning the start of the binding in place and then by hand, take the binding and go around the quilt with it to see if a miter ends up at a corner. It only takes a few minutes and almost always works. <br /><br />Love Oscar. Is he Siamese? He reminds me of my old cream point Siamese cats.LizA.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13948614733590760591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-36064552965909174422009-06-14T10:55:23.250-04:002009-06-14T10:55:23.250-04:00Oscar is too funny...and cute!!!
