Quilting is a sport to stretch for



So...
Saturday woke up bright and early at 10am :D and started working on making binding, which I made perfectly for the first time ever. yey! Then Squared up the quilt and pinned the binding on.
then we got out Mom's old 1960's singer which I LOVE how it sews in comparison to mine and I started to sew the binding on, we made a small mistake by not stitching in the ditch which was easily remedied and another round around the quilt I went...
then it was time to call it a day...
Sunday morning I woke up and on the way down stairs for brea

kfast my peddle foot cramped up... I guess the vintage sewing machines require you to push harder... or something... I should have stretched...

then we got the front of the binding pinned on and I ran to joanns for some tan thread to put on the bobbin to match the back and finally started to sew the front on, I choose not to sew it straight because I know myself and cannot sew straight...


and 3 out of 4 corners turned out great!!! and now I'm all done with Quilt 1

:D yey!

Progress on quilt two... still only have 1/2 the squares cut out... but there are more important things going on now...
