Sneak Peek

My body aches! My shoulder in particular. I never realized quilting could be so physically grinding. Someday when I win the lottery, I'm buying an ergonomically correct sewing table! Oh, and installing it in a room dedicated solely to sewing. :)

Here's a peek of what I've been working on this weekend.



I finished the top last weekend, and spent yesterday basting and quilting (into the wee hours). This afternoon, I attached the binding to the front. Now all I have to do is sew it to the back, which I always enjoy doing by hand. It's a nice respite from the "sewing shoulder" I developed.

All in all, it's been a good and productive sewing weekend.

  1. Ooh, it's so retro - cute! How did you quilt it that you had to stop so often?

    By the way, thanks for your comments on my blog - I'd love to answer them but your settings don't allow that - email me if you'd like to change that, it's really simple...

    Cheers,
    Christine
