What I do at 4:30 AM…..I shop !
Sounds sad, but sometimes I just can’t sleep. Maybe it’s the laptop sitting…waiting for me…calling me by name!?!?

If it was a normal time, I would be ordering something over the top to wear out, BUT not so, it’s a little red dress that I can always wear, dress up, dress down, wear with a sweater and legging. That BLACK dress…has me written all over it ! LOVE!!

I will share when it arrives !

Show me a Quilt – See it Saturday

Quilted Table Topper

When I was teaching, this is my beginner’s quilt 5 week class, the class would have used 2 1/2″ squares, I cut mine down for a table topper size, 1 1/2 inch squares. Machine pieced and hand quilted. HERE is my binding tutorial for you

On a regular size quilt, I would cut my binding strips 2 1/2″ wide, but on this little one, I cut them 1 1/4″ wide.

I like, little quilts to have little binding.

All the sewing is the same, 1/4″ seam allowance.

Tutorial on how to add quilt binding to a quilt.

But, I like to trim the backing and batting about in half.

This is before the binding is turned and sewn down. You can turn it under and see what you like before trimming around the entire quilt. I like to hand sew the binding down, I can get the corners, better and yes, you will have to mess with them a bit to get them perfect, they are VERY tiny.

The After

Have to LOVE hand quilting !
