F N S-I Results

Technically, it is now Saturday in my time zone, and I'm having difficulties keeping my eyes open.  Tomorrow is a busy day, so I'll post my results before I go to bed.  It may not look like much, but I worked for several hours sewing down the binding on the Half-Pint quilt in my UFO pile.  This is also a finish for the CGQC for Sept/Oct.


It's very difficult to take pictures in my house at night, so pardon the bad photograph.

This is the first binding that I've sewed by hand, but I wasn't happy with the results of doing it by machine. That's how I was taught in the first class I took. This method is a little slower, but sure looks a lot better! I plan to finish at least one more this week.

  2. Hi Sunny, I can never manage a nice binding by machine so I have to do all of them by hand. I love the colours and the look of your quilt. Greetings from Germany Kirsten

  3. Cute quilt! A nine patch is always a winner in my book. And a finished nine patch is even better!

  4. Pretty nine patch ... I like to sew bindings by hand -- a little quiet time with needle and thread in front of the tv is good....

    Love the tea party pix's ... sounds like fun and it's giving me ideas!

  6. The half pint quit is so cute (pretty) I really like it. I suppose I should have made one myself. Well worth all the effort you did.
