Sew Much Fun!

Isn't this texture great?

The quilting is where the magic happens - whether by hand, or by machine - it's the icing on the quilt!

I'm quilting it with Pinwheel 4  from UrbanElemantz.com.

I was so excited about finishing Triple Treat, getting it off the machine, trimmed and binding on that updating yesterday's post just slid by me.  I'll take care of that today.  I promise.

here she is!

I just didn't feel like this quilt required a border.  Some quilts benefit from a wide solid piece of something framing the outside - this one just didn't for me.

It gives me all the happy scrappy feels - just the way it is!

The flip side -

I am so happy with this back as well! My label is in the corner, ready for me to sign it. It's just a 7'' square of white-on-white pressed in half and basted into the corner.  It gets firmly stitched down when the binding is applied.

I hand sew the top folded edge by hand during the hand binding process.

The light was coming through the windows "Just right!"

Red binding for the win!

There are 2 quilts ahead of this one in the hand-binding queue.  

I'm on the second side of binding the triangles quilt -

That blue is just right!

I also finally have a name for this one - It's such a sweet quilt, it has only one piece - a triangle. it looks like spring to me with its rainbow of colors.

Not too far from me along Highway 16 is the little hamlet of Sugar Grove, Virginia.

It's another "If you blink, you'll miss it!" kind of place - And it might seem as if the biggest business in town is the Dollar General. (We are grateful for Dollar General living so very rurally as we do, so don't knock it!)  But I love the name.

So Sugar Grove she is.  A few more nights and the binding will be done on this one, and I'll move on to binding the blue/chartreuse New River Star.

After bindings are done, there is the new hand quilting project to pick up while watching evening TV. 

But what about more quilt tops? Anything else to quilt?

Not anything that interests me in any way shape or form.  There are a couple of UFOs that stalled in their early stages, and I might see about pulling those out and doing something with them.

And there is a project niggling at the back of my brain that involves paper piecing of scraps, but I think I need to upsize the block because if we do it in the size I'm testing now - you'll kill me. Plain and simple.  LOL!

I'm going to need a do-over!

One of these things is not like the other - They are not the same!

I am not sure where my brain was this morning when I stirred liquid egg whites into my freshly made cup of morning coffee.

I hope this brings a giggle, as it nearly gagged me when I began to stir and found egg chunks floating on top of my coffee. Bleh. Just - really. Gross!

If looking at the Quiltville Etsy Pattern Shop Winter Blues is a bit further down the shop page. Forever Mine and Unchained should be right there at the top since they are new listings for me in that shop.

It's a foggy/rainy morning - and I'm going to go thumb through those UFOs and see if anything can be salvaged.

What do you have on your own to-do list for today?
