Slow Stitching Sunday

Hello stitchers! Welcome to the weekly hand stitching party where we hope you will get lots of inspiration and encouragement from other bloggers to help you on your stitching journey! 


I have been working on a UFO this month, and am finally hand stitching the binding. As you likely know, this is my favourite part of the quilt making process. The project is nearing completion and all the decisions have been made. It's time for the enjoyment of finishing!

What are you hand stitching today? Are you finishing any of your projects? Link up your blog post below and share your progress with us.

I am looking forward to seeing that UFO when it is completed. Enjoy stitching the binding. It is one of my favorite parts also.

Isn't it funny how you either love sewing the binding or hate it! I'm afraid I'm on the side of least favourite! Enjoy sewing your binding! Have a great day

I'll be plugging away on my Roll With It stitchery piece today. Not much progress on it this past week.

Your last post's question mark blocks sure look pretty in those gorgeous colours and fabrics, Kathy. I have a tendency to want to rush the binding part though it is certainly a time to relish the finishing of a project. Happy Stitching!

I'm never sure why people hate to work on the binding! it means you are done and you can wash that quilt and get it on your bed or pass it on as a gift or whatever - you are now ready to get started quilting another quilt right! whats to hate about binding

Cathy said...

I'm in the "love to bind" category too but I'm not sure I can say it is my favorite part of making a quilt.

Enjoy that binding. I hope to be working on some in a week or two!

Congrats for finishing an UFO, Kathy.
No slow stitching for me this Sunday.
Happy new week!

Hooray for finishing a UFO! That means you can start at least 3 or 4 new projects, doesn’t it?

Binding is my favorite time of the quilt process, too. Soon you will have this beautiful quilt finished ... :) Pat

I'm in the 'love to hand sew binding' camp. I find it very relaxing. Looking forward to seeing which UFO this is.

Binding! Quilters either love it or hate it. I'm with you, it's so satisfying hand stitching the binding down.
