Almost There

I started hand stitching the binding on the quilt last night.  There is something calming and restful about handwork.  Sitting in my sewing/dining room (or is it the dining/sewing room)  with the music playing - what a great invention the iPhone or should I say smart phone.  Docking stations and playlists are wonderful, different music for different moods, and activities.  Well anyway I managed two sides stitched before my eyes were drooping.  Sitting with a quilt over your lap is cosy and comforting especially when it has a fleecy backing like this one.  I don't think this particular quilt will be moving far from this room. I am getting far too attached to it at the moment but it's all for a purpose so we will see.  Oops photo is a bit dark sorry, but you get the idea.



Cosy backing and tiny stitches - must get daylight bulb before winter
