I have started this new thread to replace the old one which was just too full.

Here is something I'm working on.



I'm using fabric from the fabric swaps.

So pretty Linda, never heard of facing binding.... will have to look into it.

All things back on hold as I need to get busy on my Quilted Christmas Cards. Oh my, I am so far behind this year!!!!!

I've never heard of it, but I was curious and watched a video. What an interesting technique.

I love the way the backing looks and for quilts with no borders on them it saves covering up part of the design. I love the way they turn out.

They look great Linda. I learned that method a couple of years ago but keep forgetting to do it.

Yesterday and today I finished binding 6 of my quilts with a new binding called a "Facing" binding. I really like the way it looks and they finish nicely.



Getting those UFOs DONE!

Nearing completion on the QOV that I have been working on for quite a while! So excited to get it finished! Also nearing completion on the quilted fabric I am making for my quilted jacket. I will send photos when I finish. I have also been finishing up a bunch of other UFOs, too! So happy to be getting things completed so that my family and I can enjoy them! Also, completing things allows me to look forward to completing other projects that I have wanted to work on. It is hard to start on new projects when there are so many that already need to be completed!

Vanessa - that looks like a good pattern for a Christmas quilt!

Theresa - way to keep on trying! Hoping this time works for you.

Good luck, Theresa. I hope the third time is a charm for you.

If Tina was a person, she'd be Granny Clampett. She's feisty and always willing to eat. Sometimes she doesn't get outside in time , but I love her.

Update on the cowl. It is a double knit. Cast on 400 stitches. So far I have only made it to row three before needing to pull it out. This will be my third cast on and I hear third time is a charm.... I am hoping that is correct. Wish me luck

Ta da! My Tina is shown with my latest quilt. My sister Marie sent me the pattern, and it was a pleasure to assemble.
On to my next quilt!

Vanessa: Beautiful quilt. What a wonderful gift you received.

Now that I have the hats delivered to CPS, I decided to work on a double knit cowl, will post a picture when it gets a little bigger and back to the White Buffalo Quilt...
