And I bound a little quilt by hand. It is nice to do something at a slower pace instead of always rushing to do something the fastest way!<br />I have even been known to unpick a machine bound quilt and rebind by hand--and I am a slow binder, but the quilts told me that is what they needed. : )Janet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34488264.post-1281680653921505402012-07-01T20:32:20.913-04:002012-07-01T20:32:20.913-04:00Thanks for the great link-up idea!

I did the same thing earlier this year. I have some hand stitching projects in the preparation stage. I'm marking a small quilt for hand quilting and making the bias binding for another quilt. Looking forward to the gentle rhythm of hand sewing!Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09365095115416468818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34488264.post-79260736689194673332012-07-01T14:00:56.300-04:002012-07-01T14:00:56.300-04:00Just love Downtown Abbey too.

Since we are going on vacation, yesterday I took my machine into the shop for a de-linting and tension tune-up.<br /><br />I also like lettermail and wrote out and posted at least 7 postcards yesterday. I try and send at least one postcard a week. Will be sending more on vacation.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501259287565067209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34488264.post-73431873568868994582012-07-01T11:12:39.315-04:002012-07-01T11:12:39.315-04:00I just POSTED about binding yesterday....

I love it too and do it by hand too, I don't like to see the machine stitching, because it's never "perfect". doing it by hand is so much nicerbeaquilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09854296867039522197noreply@blogger.com
