Binding is on

001

Today I finished the quilting of my basket quilt.  I am doing a happy dance right now.  I had never thought I could finish it so fast because I have handquilted the whole quilt. But with hours quilting and watching old movies on the tv I did it.

The binding is on and now I just have to sew it down.  And I haaaaaaaaate sewing down bindings.  But I hope I get it done (at least most of it) until thursday when I am meeting Sue again.

But for today, because my shoulder is now hurting after all this quilting, I will relax doing some needleturn on my Antique Sampler quilt.

Saying for today:

Gratulerer! Teppet ditt er nydelig :-) Jeg er sikker på at lukkekanten din er ferdig sydd lenge før torsdag!

Oh May - it is beautiful. I bought the pattern and template at a quilt show last month so that one is on my list. Congratulations on another beautiful quilt. I hope the binding stitches down really fast!

Jeg skjønner ikke hvor dere henter tiden fra. Nydelig teppe, og så godt det er når lukkekanten er sydd til. Det er utearbeid her!

Oh May, it is just beautiful! I have watched this all along and I must say I think you finished it in record time. It would have taken me a great deal longer. Great job and if I lived an ocean or two closer, I'd finish the binding for you because that is my favorite part-hand stitching the binding.

I can't believe you have finished that quilt so quickly! I love the handstitrching part of binding, so you can send it down to me if you like. I don't guarantee I'll send it back though hehehehe. I love it! May, "queen of quilting".

Beautiful, congratulations on a stunning finish!
I hate sewing down the binding too!

Sue said...

I looovvveee sewing the binding down. I find it relaxing. Just don't like the hole in my finger the needle makes! I can't wear a thimble. Love your work May & I love following your blog.

Ja, jeg er også skikkelig imponert over farta du har holdt på basket teppet. Selv om lukkekant er kjedelig, så er det jo ofte prikken over i-en da. Gleder meg til å se bilde av ferdig quilt

One must look at hand quilting like the old saying "How does one eat an elephant?" Once bite at a time. How does one hand quilt a big quilt? A little bit at a time. Well done for persevering so well and finishing the job.
