I have begun hand sewing the binding on the huge May quilt and as my friend Rachael suggested I'm taking it one stitch at a time... only a million more to go ;)
My awesome giveaway ends tomorrow so make sure you enter

ReplyDeleteMy favourite part too :)
ReplyDeleteI don't like hand sewing down the binding until I get past halfway - then I love it :-)
ReplyDeletekeep at it, you'll get there :-)
Ah good for you - I'm a machine binder all the way :o)
ReplyDeleteMy favourite part- the exclamation at the end of a sentence!
ReplyDeleteHey that's me!! :) I'm looking forward to seeing this mega quilt!
ReplyDeleteI actually love hand binding as well. I think I really just enjoy hand sewing/quilting in general. I have two little boys and a husband that prefer hand sewing as well, because it means I am not down in my sewing room, I can be with them and do it at the same time!
ReplyDeleteI'm too impatient to hand sew most bindings( I do occasionally do it), so well done for even starting!
ReplyDeleteYup, one stitch at a time! Your photo reminds me of something....in the last year or so I've started zig zagging the edges of my quilts after attaching the binding and before hand stitching to the back. It totally keeps those loose threads in check and makes the binding process SO much easier. Or maybe those threads don't drive you as crazy as they drive me!!
ReplyDeleteI love hand sewing binding! Being snuggled up under all that quilt, slowly stitching away - heaven!!
ReplyDeleteI love sewing the binding down by hand. It feels soothing to me. Di x
ReplyDeleteTat's a good chilling activity in front of the TV though and it looks so nice!
ReplyDeleteI think I can, I think I can, I think I can...
ReplyDeleteSlowly, slowly, stitchy monkey xxx
ReplyDeleteI find myself saying that binding is my fave part too, but in reality, sometimes it can be a chore if you are time pressed.
ReplyDeletePretty pretty binding! I admire hand sewn binding but don't have the patience to do it myself!
ReplyDeleteAlways fun stitching down the binding...as you near completion! Visiting from Let's Get Acquainted. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteI love hand sewing...while watching Neighbours!! I hope it goes well. :-) Stopping by from Plum and June.
