Hello Quilt Friends!! Rain and clouds here in the valley.
And it's March the month when spring officially starts! We're way up north here and because of that we're getting more light earlier and its staying lighter out later than a month ago. The birds are singing and snowdrops and daffodils are up, really lovely.
I've been doing a lot of machine quilting the last few weeks, crosshatch and matchstick quilting, on my potholders and small quilt projects. Making progress.
24 years ago I finished a lapsized quilt, made with 2" squares and 2 borders, I gave it to my mom. She has since passed away and I 'inherited' that quilt back. It has held up fairly well even though it was used a lot and washed often. The binding, which was red, was getting thread bare in places so I decided to unpick it and sew on a new binding. I'll use another color, haven't made my mind up yet, but it won't be red this time around. A new color and look, a new lease on life, why not??
That is the news on progress in my sewing room. How's progress in your sewing room???
I'll be by to visit.
