Done!







Had to buy the Base



I could not use the doll on any spool pin on my sewing machine. So I broke down & bought a base. It works SWELL ! (If you ever watched "Lady & The Tramp" (Disney movie) You'll giggle at that "swell" !!

Bindings!

I spent ALL DAY Sunday sewing down the binding on the Wild & Goosey Quilt. I watched movies on Netflix. It was binding or housework. You see who won???

Next up is the binding on my Everlasting Wreath Quilt. 368 inches.

Normally I machine sew the binding to the back & flip it to the front & hand sew it down. But because I had these custom quilted, I'm doing it the opposite (normal I guess???) way. I decided to use up the left over scraps from the backings & make the bindings the same as the backing. They are both scrap quilts, so it' certainly does NOT look odd.

This little jobbie is a "Binding Baby". It works well enough. Probably better on smaller quilts that require less binding. All it has to do is keep the binding from twisting and it does that fabulously.

Quilting

My next posts will be brag posts.

During my lunch today I went & picked up 2 quilts that I left with the long arm quilter early last month. let me tell you: she did an ABSOLUTELY STUNNING JOB !!

I can't wait to get the binding on these beauties!

One is the Everlasting Wreath Quilt (I'll NEVER make that one again!) and the 2nd is the Wild & Goosey Quilt. Both will have black as a binding. the Wild & Goosey has solid black cornerstones & the Everlasting Wreath has black triangles in the center of each block. Both quilts have dark (& busy) backs, so black will be a perfect ending to them.
