Just Binding

I like to use binding pieces as leader/enders.  It makes me feel like I'm being organized productive to getting another item closer to a finish--even if the quilt it is for isn't quilted yet.

Prom 2026

Senior prom.  Where has the time gone?  We are so proud of the young man our son is becoming.















At the end of the night there were super tired.  They may even have started getting cranky.  But a sweet hug ended the night.

Very Slow Sunday Stitching

I'm not getting much stitching time at school as I thought I would.  Lunches get busy with lesson planning, making copies, and grading math papers.  I found 15 minutes to stitch this week.  My goal was to make it to the corner.  Mission accomplished.

Little Flimsy Complete

I added another border to this little mix-match of leftovers to make it a more useable size for a baby.  I don't feel like it's "baby" colors, but hopefully it will be snuggly when finished.


I didn't measure it.  I will after it is complete.

Grandma's UFO Embroidery Quilt 1973ish

Still slowly stitching away on Grandma's UFO embroidery quilt from 1973ish.  The binding is only a little over half way done.

Red/White Flower Basket Crib Quilt on the Frame

This weekend I loaded the red/white flower basket crib quilt onto the longarm frame.


I like the way the Circle Lord Baptist Fan is looking on it.  It was going great until I changed a bobbin and ran into a tension problem.  I'm pretty sure my bobbin winder tension somehow threaded itself loose on the tension spring.  I'll have go get that fixed before proceeding.  The plan is to get a little bit quilted after school each night until finished.  Our son doesn't have any after school activities this week, but prom is coming on 5/25.  That will be a big deal...

Slow Sunday Stitching

I don't have much time to stitch on my lunches these days.  I did get started on the binding on my D9P crib quilt.
