Well...sort of!! I've been dragging this quilt inside & outside, upstairs & downstairs over the past year or so.....ahem!!!!
The hand quilting is taking a looooong time & I didn't want to mess it up any further than I have already!
So....last week as I dragged it back inside after sitting outside hand stitching in the lovely, warm sun ~ I managed to catch the bottom corner ( without knowing) and it pulled the batting out, about 6 to 8 inches of it! Grrrrr....!!! That was it - the binding was made and applied - PRONTO!!
I'll continue to hand quilt it during the colder months and the fear of shredding anymore of the batting and outside border has been taken care of - good grief!!!
I picked up this stamped embroidery piece at the Mennonite Thrift Store for $1. I noticed it was a little wonky, no problem - I just want to start practising my hand stitching and this hit the nail on the head price wise. On closer inspection, someone had written in INK, the different colour codes onto the actual fabric...hmmm. Again, it's a sample piece for me - so I shouldn't worry.
