I am having an exciting day today. On Saturday I traden in my old SUV for a newer (a 2005) Subaru and I pick up my new car this afternoon. I am a bit nervous being and doing this by myself but I am happy with the procedings and with the dealer and with the price I got for both trade in and purchase. Wish me luck quilters and good health in and with my new car. Then once I calm down I have to clean house (UGH) then happily I well work on my Christmas projects. Happy Happy everyone.

Do you mean using the backing for the binding? That's my favorite way of binding. I think there was a tutorial a while back on this. This is the way I do it; I cut my fabric twice as wide as I want my binding, for example I cut mine 1" for a 1/2" binding, fold and press the backing over to meet the batting, make a miter in the corners and machine stitch that, trim the excess, turn it, then press the binding over the top, use some of the Roxannes or Elmers school glue to stick it down, and voila I am ready to stitch it down. Eazy Peazy. If you have any more questions, feel free to PM me. I am going out to "play" for a while but will be here this afternoon.

Finishing and mailing a GD felt pillow project and complete a sweatshirt project for her sister. May end up at Goodwill but oh well. Working on a quilt made of ties for another GD's graduation. No end as Christmas bears down on us.

I too have had a round of not feeling well with strep throat and near pneumonia but I do not think I feel that good yet.

I like to sew every day, just some days, can't fit it in!!

I will be working on some costumes for Church pageant and hope to get to a new quilt block (6"):( within the next day or two.

Then, I get to start on my next quilt for the DGS bedroom. Will need two twins for that. Should be fun.

I don't have any sewing goals for today for I'm at work but yesterday I set my sites on pinning in a quilt, putting the binding on a christmas gift and putting a top together. I got all that done plus binding on three baby quilts and I cooked lunch and went to mass. Makes me tired just tying all this......
