Wow! Another Sunday has arrived. Lately it seems that time just passes by so quickly. I was very busy this week but found the time to get the hand quilting done on Simple but Not. It seems ages ago that I had a finish. I still have to sew one side of the binding down and then I can enjoy some slow stitching as I sew down the binding. I just love this step! I think, that is because as I stitch, I realize that all the time I spent on this project is just about to pay off. After the binding is stitched down it will go into the washer and dryer and then the big reveal. I am pretty sure I will be adding some trapunto to the feathers. It may not happen right away, I will lay the quilt across a guest bed and give it some time to speak to me.
I also found a bit of time to add a few more rows on my TATW. This is my first attempt at hand piecing. So far I enjoy it immensely. I have run out of squares to add so this week I need to cut some more two inch squares. I think I have chosen the fabrics for rows 13-16. That should keep me busy for a while. I don't work on this every day, but I love that is there waiting for me on those evenings when I am not in the mood for my other projects and it is great take along project. Have you ever tried hand piecing? Right now,
Craftsy BOM 2015 is being hosted by Jinny Beyer. She is the queen of hand piecing and if you want ever wanted to give it a go why not take advantage of the free class and learn from the master of hand piecing.
