This week I focused on hand stitching the binding onto my pinwheel quilt.
I got a few stitches in the binding before going into the school for work. I got to work about 25 minutes early because I was a "good mom" today and took our son to the bus stop. Normally he walks down the 800 foot part of the driveway to catch the school bus. It was only 35 degrees and windy. I had him wait in the warm truck until I went to work.
After school my husband called me, letting me know he was having trouble with his work truck. I drove to the rescue to take him to get parts so that he could work on it along side of the road.
I am VERY fortunate that my husband is such a patient mechanic. He LOVES to fix things. It's a bummer he had to work on it along side the road. Luckily he was able to limp it to an empty baseball field parking lot.
A few inches here, a few inches there. I'm so happy I had it with me. Moving towards a finish.
His simple fix didn't work. Luckily I'm a AAA member and a tow was necessary. But look at those beautiful, red trees in the background! Ahh fall.
Big progress the day I took it to sub at high school. I had three study halls a planning period, and part of my lunch:

You are making great progress with bindings! We had several inches of snow on the ground this morning, the leaves should really come down now. Happy stitching!
It does add up quickly with a few minutes here and there, doesn’t it? But even better, to have something to work on while waiting :)
Well done on the binding…you make good use of your waiting time. Gail at the cozy quilter
Your Vintage embroidery quilt is just glorious!! Looks so pretty on the bed!!
Lovely work...always good to have some handwork along for those waiting moments...hugs, Julierose
The vintage embroidery quilt is a beauty. How fabulous your hand sewing is always with you to work on through your day wherever you find yourself.
There must be a story behind that lovely vintage quilt? Perhaps I've missed it, such a pretty thing.
I love it when you show us where your hand stitching has been done! The stories those quilts will tell... Sorry to hear it involved a break down for your hubby's truck this week, though. That's no fun!
I hope your husband can get his truck fixed. You are making great progress on getting projects done! I can see that is it taking some planning to stay ahead of keeping a project ready for handwork.
