Handsewing the binding...
So - how long does it take you? I naively thought I could reach a pace of 1-1.5 inches/minute. Not so much as it turns out. Taking out the time spent purely socializing, at came to about 0.5 inches per minute - which meant 8 hours this weekend putting on a binding for our show. We have to turn in the quilts tonight, so it had to get done - unfortunately in one long weekend.
Hopefully over time, it will get easier for me. I've not done a lot of bindings yet. I did find that after finishing a lethal margarita at the hockey team pool party yesterday that I became much less critical of my work...
This quilt will be display only. I need a new thimble as I wore out the leather thimble - though I may try adding a leather patch to it to get a little more use out of it. By midnight, I was turning the thimble in odd directions (it is one designed for those of us with longer fingernails).
Cheers, K
