Yesterday I get the Binding on that king size quilt finished. It was hand sewn binding so it took me a while to finish. So now this quilt is ready to be picked up today. Shew....
I got this loaded on the frame and the quilting started. I will finish it up today. I don't have to do the binding on this one, just the quilting. She requested a stipple which is fine with me as I can do that faster than doing a pantograph. :) It is being quilting in burgundy thread to match the backing. This one is a king too! :) I have it loaded sideways because it fit the backing better that way. Just wanted to make sure I had plenty once I rolled the quilt to the end.
I am soooooo booked up and I have been turning them away because as it is I am going to be cutting it close. I do this every time that I get stressed and have a ton of quilts. I worked as hard and as fast as I can and then I just give out. LOL! Today I was hand sewing as fast as I could and all the time I was thinking, "I want to crochet something" LOL! That's how my mind works. Part of me wanted to just stop and start crocheting, but I didn't. I'm sure that once things slow down after the new year I will not be in the mood to crochet. LOL!
Just for the record....I keep telling you how covered up that I am...well.... I have 18 more tops to quilt and 3 of them I have to completely piece myself and also 9 memory pillows! Some of these I have to do binding on and some I don't. The 3 that I have to make from start to finish are the Cross memory quilts that I have made in the past from shirts.
