Packing

I draped a finished quilt over a chair to dry last night, and this is what I woke up to.  
 That helped me decide to get the binding on sooner rather than later before things started to get frayed or ravelly.  After much thought, I went to the 2.5 inch strip bin and pulled out a red strip, and orange strip, a yellow strip, all the way to the end of the rainbow.  The binding is all machine sewn now and ready for some slow stitching in the car.
 Of course, but the time that was done, it was too dark to get any good pictures.  Shorter days and cooler weather are really making it feel like winter around here.
Still going strong, I went ahead and put the last border on this year's sampler quilt.  Now all that remains is to applique down the tear drops.  More applique for the car?
Most people worry about clean laundry when they are getting ready for a trip.  I am madly trying to figure out which quilts I can get finished before it is time to leave.

  1. I always intend to carry stitching with me on trips, but I generally fail as I'm too busy getting everyone else ready! I know we're traveling next month... Maybe if I plan now!

  2. Perfect binding for that quilt!
    I'm more likely to take knitting when traveling. I can knit without having to watch constantly, which helps me avoid getting carsick...
