Today is our Wedding Anniversary…43 Years

Happy, Happy !

When a boy meets a girl… And 43 years later… it’s a life of joy, laughter, fun and family. I am blessed with his love. It’s been a fantastic ride in a GORGEOUS WORLD. It seems like yesterday.

We were introduced to each other and then on a blind date. The first Rocky movie and a pizza. It seems we have been together ever since. Two boys, two daughter-in-laws and those four wonderful Grands.

We are pretty much together 24/7 and it’s alright with me, before and during Covid-19. All those years of his career always being first, it’s pretty special to be first now. There is no one else I would EVER laugh with SO MUCH ! We can do ANYTHING with laughter !

Show it Saturday

A Flowering Tree of Magnolia’s

It’s been a bit for me and my camera. I have missed it so, I spent the other morning with flowers here in Florida. Doesn’t it seem as time has stopped or stood still in our lives, I feel it in mine, but flowers keep making me smile in their every day ways.
These Magnolia’s were opening up as to greet me.
The light was perfect and I never opened up my umbrella to protect my shots from the sun, which is rare here. Enjoy your Saturday, as much as I enjoyed my Tuesday.

My MOST Asked for How To !

Quilt Binding and Hand Stitching it Down

I’m sharing the way “I” do quilt binding. Like everything in quilting there are MANY ways. This is the way “I” do it ! !

I have tried and used other methods, but I always come back to this way. IF you ever think, “Should I pin this?” “PIN IT!” I am a firm believer that a moment to pin is better than a moment of seam ripping !
This post is huge with LOTS of pictures.

Cut your strip 2 ½” inches wide and long enough to go

all the around your quilt PLUS 6-8 Inches

More is ALWAYS better with this in my mind.

The Quilt Ladies NOW on Kindle and NOOK

How to make Quilt Binding Tutorial and How to Hand Stitch the Bind

Cut enough strips to go around the outside edge of your
quilt. Sew all strips together with a 45-degree angle.

Sew and Trim to ¼ inch seam allowance

Open and Press and trim any ends.

Do this to make all binding needed.

The Quilt Ladies NOW on Kindle and NOOK

BUT ALWAYS check YOUR BOBBIN THREAD, make sure you have enough to make it all the way around the quilt. NOTHING worse than to stop and fill or change a bobbin!

This is where “I” do it a bit different, I just can’t get the seam right using the fold the corner way, I do a straight seam here as shown.

Start sewing about 5-6 inches from your binding end,

Sew the binding with a ¼ inch seam allowance.

I mark with a pin on each corner

Sew the binding with a ¼ inch seam allowance. Stop ¼ from
the edge. Back stitch a few stitches.

Fold the binding back.

Fold binding back down on to the Quilt. Match up edges.

A diagonal fold will form between the
layers and a straight fold on top. Do corners one at a time, but

Do this on all four corners

Stop sewing about 4-5 inches from the first end.

Pin well, fold over and match the ends

Press

Open up and mark your SEWING line

On both sides

This is your SEWING line, Sew and trim seam.

Continue sewing the binding to the quilt.

The right side of the quilt

You will need to trim your batting, I like to trim mine about an 1/8 of an inch from the binding edge

The Quilt Ladies NOW on Kindle and NOOK

Fold the binding open

Pull it over the machine stitches.

Pin and I like to hand stitch

Blind Stitch, I like to hide my knot in the inside.

Single thread, I use about 18 inches at a time.

Catch just a bit of fabric on the binding,

Take a stitch straight across and then back into the binding just a few threads.

Make sure your thread matches and as below, I have about 6-8 stitches down in this photo

Stitch all the way into the fold.

Pull your needle out and fold other corner over,

Sew the corners closed on BOTH sides. Back side here

Push needle through and stitch the front corner seam closed.

Push needle through to the back and continue sewing around the quilt.

Finished corners.

Do all Four Corners
