Slow Stitching Binding Time

I just pulled the anniversary quilt off of the frame.  Now it is time to settle in with a little celebratory binding.  This one is done just in time for the in-laws to show up next weekend.  It was so nice to have a little time to sew today and even nicer to be able to cross this quilt off the list.  DH has been giving me the "evil eye" anytime I sewed on something different wanting to know why his mom's quilt wasn't done yet.  Not really, but it did seem that way.  Now I will be able to sew without the lingering guilt of knowing I should be doing this one instead.  For now though, happy binding!

In the Hoop

I got quite a bit of hand quilting done during my trip this week. After going to the trouble to bring a quilt along, I was certainly going to work on it each evening for a while. This little corner is now complete. Maybe this afternoon I can work on a couple more blocks to finish off the row. I hope you are all finding a few minutes to slow down and take a breath on Sunday.
