Weekend Sewing


I'm having a quiet weekend. It was cold yesterday but warm and humid today. I decided to try and catch up on a few things. I thought I'd sew down the binding on this antique quilt.


I chose this repro dark olive green fabric with gold specks. I'm not sure why I settled on green but after I bought it I was having doubts. I decided to just sew it on and get something done! I liked it better once it was sewn onto the quilt. It looks better than I expected.

I have a few quilts that have had the binding sewn down by hand but no labels. I took some time to make 3 labels so now I have no excuse to finish up those quilts! I don't consider my quilts done until the labels are on and they've been washed. Almost there!

    Perfect binding for that stunning quilt. I have a few quilts that still need labels. One day...

      Thanks, Jeanna! I always put off adding labels. Not sure why, they're not that difficult.
