Welcome to the weekly hand stitching party!
I have had a bee in my bonnet recently to get some quilts finished. The thought won't leave me alone. I want to start 3 new quilts this summer and I am determined to finish at least 3 quilts before new ones can begin!!
I have been "working" daily on hand stitching some bindings. This is the grey binding - the quilt is called Princess Charlotte and was a Super Bowl mystery in 2021. It's time to be finished!
The next one is a brown quilt. The top was finished in 2011 and it is still not a finished quilt. I dislike brown but it was a great scrap buster project, and it is a masculine looking quilt and will be perfect to donate. Way past time to get it done!
The third one is a blue binding on a quilt that I love and plan to keep. This was a mystery quilt from Meadow Mist called Mosaic Mystery. This has such pretty colours and is perfect to work on in the summer. But all these quilts must get done hopefully before the end of June. Can it be done?!?If so, the 3 new quilt starts will be a guild summer mystery, the new Meadow Mist Marigold, and the Fat Quarter shop's free christmas mystery called Jolly Tree Farm.
Are you stitching binding on quilts that are way past the time they should have been finished!?!? What are you hand stitching today?
Not binding, but backing is my current "lingering for WAY too long" issue. I decided I wanted to do a pieced backing for the current sampler quilt. Worse, it's improv. I have decided that I do not care for improv. I just need to finish it however it turns out. I need to remember that as long as it's big enough and flat, it will work. (But I keep frogging back and reworking design "mistakes" - sigh)
ReplyDeleteBravo, Kathy, for being so discipline. I clicked on the links and these a are all lovely quilts. I even love the brown one; it's rainbow-coloured partner is cool too. Enjoy the new projects to come. ;^)
ReplyDeleteI hope you complete all the bindings so you can start the new mysteries!
ReplyDeleteJolly Tree Farm looks like a super cute project. I know you could whip it up in a jiffy. Love your three future finishes coming up. Mystery quilts are so much fun.
ReplyDeleteThree lots of quilt bindings, that's impressive. I enjoy stitching the bindings down, guess you do too, it's so satisfying, I found. I've checked out the links you provided, of the quilts you are finishing up, the the new ones you are ready to start. Lots of variety there.
ReplyDeleteThat’s a lot of binding! Good to get these quilts finished before jumping in to making new quilts. I have a pile of tops waiting to be quilted. Hoping to get to them this summer. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed that you're going to have three quilt finishes as soon as the bindings are done, Kathy! I have a couple quilts that need to get to the quilting stage first before the binding can be stitched, but they're slowly moving forward.. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get your bindings finished by July! It will feel so good!
