Nice Red Eye - I really love that decal pattern and have two, one hand crank and one treadle. But then I love most vintage sewing machines.
I am at an impasse with the first quilt top I was working on. The fabric I planned for the second border looks great with the gold and burgundy, but not with the quilt. Plan on making a trip to town later this afternoon to look for something different. We have a fabric outlet store that is open Sunday afternoon.
Decided today would be a good binding day. I seem to get in a groove and get a bunch of tops done, then get a bunch quilted, so now I have a bunch to bind.
Most of these have black bindings because I put black thread on the LA to finish the 365 day quilt, and then pulled several other tops out that also used black thread. I think I may be done with black for a while . . .
Had to clean the cat hair off first - Stained Glass, small Twister, lap size black Toile, and Cool Cats (love that one).
Jewel Box and the 365 Day Block challenge from last year.
I don't have binding figured out for the last one, but think I'll use a light cream. The rest have black binding. I've been trying hard to cut the binding as I finish the floppy, since I may not get to quilting it for months.
I moved my monster serge out of the way so I have plenty of room to move the quilts around as I sew on the binding. I do it all by machine, and can get most done in about an hour start to finish. I know lots of people enjoy hand binding, but I'm not one of them. I if had to hand bind, I would not make quilts.
