Countdown begins

With Christmas only moments away, well eight sleeps away, I thought I had better do my finishing touches to two quilts. They both needed to have their bindings sewn on and of course, that all important hand stitching to close the deal. When it comes to hand stitching the binding I am at a lost how people can spend time doing the tiniest of stitches to make them look perfection. I lump along and stitch ever so badly, more or less just wanting for the quilt to be completed. One day I will perfect the art of stitching, but in the meantime I shall plod along as before.

    I hand stitch my bindings down, and quite enjoy this final part of the process. MY stitches aren't tiny either, I just like to sit quietly and get the job done. But don't forget to add a personalised label too, that's very important!
