With the new software I can watch you live, before, it seemed to start from the beginning! Glad your cabin searching is coming up trumps.

How you explained and showed last night allowed me to do two bindings today. I am a hand stitcher of binding too and it is the icing on the cake/quilt for me. Congrats on finding a cabin contender. It is beautiful.

Pattern by Cheryl Phillips (sorry if im not supposed to say others names here, didn't want to get in trouble for not giving credit). I am waiting anxiously for my Bonnie Hunter book to arrive:)Love everything you do for us all Bonnie and tonights, last night I watched it afterwards, was extra great for me as I am about to bind my first Queen size quilt (first quilt ever)! For my DH to take with him as he works away a lot.

Why not try machine stitching your bindin...Bonnie,<br /><br />Why not try machine stitching your bindings? All that hand stitching would drive me nuts so I do all my bindings on hand machines - easier than treadles for binding because you can stop and start and go extra slow - with the second line of stitching worked form the front. I've shown the method on a Youtube vid. I do a single thickness binding to cut down on bulk, but there's no reason why you couldn't do a double thickness binding using the same method.<br /><br />Ireland next month... excited yet?

It's Saturday here and it is really cold. I found a wee owl tutorial on pinterest and I have made a parliament of them. He who is waiting for his dinner suggested putting weights in them to make paperweight pincushions...so I bought some fishing sinkers and they work well. I love your blogs and read it daily.

I don't want to make a mistake in my writing and have to re-do the label once it's been attached.<br /><br />A quick question--Why did you lengthen your stitch length when you got to the label?<br /><br />I'm hand sewing a binding tonight. Not feeling so great, so having some hand sewing is nice during quilt cam.

Kind of neat how much more accurate my shaded four patches are for this than for Easy Street! Used Easy Angle to cut the HST's and they have gone together so much better! My ironing board is getting filled up with quilt block pieces that need to be pressed before going to next step on 3 different mystery quilts. One is a UFO from 1997-time to move it up and out! Other is just finished mystery from QCA-very small pieces :(.
