With that out of the way, I am now knee deep in quilting projects. Some are oldies but goodies but some are new. I am trying to finish up some older projects that just needed quilting and binding. But I am also selecting and cutting fabrics for some new projects, mostly baby quilts. Now that we have a mountain house in PA, I am doing all of my hand sewing of bindings and hand piecing projects there and all of the cutting and piecing steps at our NJ home. That may change in time but for now I have enough to keep me busy in both locations.
This week we are in the mountain house so I brought a binding project to complete. This was an older project that was an online mystery quilt project. I finally brought it to the longarm quilter with three other quilts so it is now ready for binding. I haven't decided where this quilt will eventually "live" but it is one of the few quilts in progress that isn't a gift for someone else!
My next project will be binding two wall hangings that I may use in the mountain house. I am auditioning one of them this week to see if it works here. Here is a picture of one of them. Both wall hangings are identical.
These will be bound in the burgandy fabric which will make them stand out nicely on the wall. I will post pictures when the binding is completed on both of these. This is hung using a "Hang it, Dang it" quilt hanger. Easy to use and it hangs on one nail! Self leveling to boot! Love these!
I should have two more projects to post soon. These two are gifts so I don't want to post the pictures until they are given to the recipient.
I will say, it has been feast or famine this month but having a mountain house has certainly kept me motivated to keep things moving so I have something to sew when we are here. But hey, whatever works in my quest to quilt!
