I'm still slow stitching the binding on the Rosebud embroidery quilt that my grandma stitched a little over 50 years ago. I'm about half way around it. Yes, I did say SLOWLY stiching...
I did put a binding around the Zip It quilt this week. It will be next in que to have the binding slowly stitched. It is nice to sit under a quilt and watch tv in the evenings when there is snow on the ground (or basically any time of year is good for binding stitching.)
Below is the Zip It quilt top before quilting. Oh how I love the navy blue scraps!
Zip It is a sew along with Emma Jean Jansen on facebook here.
I'm linking up with Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching here.

I love that Zip it quilt! Slow stitching binding down is always a fun evening retreat project.
I love stitching the bindings down too, so relaxing. Your Grandma's quilt is so lovely. When it is completed and blogged about, could you please tell us the full story behind this gorgeous quilt? You may have mentioned it earlier, but it would be nice to know the history behind it.
It must be a joy to work on your grandma's quilt slowly. This quilt is gorgeous and oh so very special.
Beautiful quilts!
I have also worked on quilts started by my grandmother. It is very satisfying work! I have also done ones by my aunt and my mother. There's something to be said for generational efforts!
What a wonderful collaboration with your grandma! She would be so pleased that you are finishing her beautiful quilt. I love hand stitching the binding on a quilt too. Gail at the cozy quilter.
That is a lot of binding to sew on, but then you will have two more fabulous quilts done!
