I finished up the Park Lane baby quilt. Just need to piece the backing and get it off to the quilter. I want to do a bias binding on this but I don't think I've ever done one before. I watched a video on continuous bias binding and I'm going to give it a whirl. But that can wait until the quilt is back from the quilter.
And I cut the second baby quilt out - or almost have it cut. I'll finish that up here in short order. It also calls for a bias binding. See? This dog is not too old to learn new tricks! I want to get this quilt pieced this week and off to be quilted, too.
Then I can get back to my regularly scheduled ...... wait, I've hardly sewn in two years, so I guess there's no regularly scheduled anything!
Made a big pot of spaghetti yesterday. I'm good to go for supper today.
I talked to my brother three or four times yesterday. We're collaborating on a "project." Long distance. Lots of questions and descriptions going on. It'll be interesting to see how this turns out. LOL. May be months in the making but we'll get there.
Off to finish cutting and begin my sewing day!
I had forgotten how much fun this quilting thing is!

Sounds like a great weekend. Hopefully you will get your camera issue figured out soon. Bias binding is easy, go for it!
Way to go!! I'm hoping to have a day in the studio myself! Good luck with the camera and computer issue. I got a new camera and had to figure out a new way to get my pics, too. What a pain!!
YIPPEE! Vicky's sewing again! ENJOY every minute!
Yay you!!!
Oh yea! Another big milestone on recovery road! I am going to get to sew today. Hope to finish up a toddler quilt, Julie's Yummy pattern and a mix of Aneela Hoey strips. Why is so hard to use those pre cuts...lol
Wahooooo - you're sewing!!! I'm so excited to see that you've finished a very sweet baby quilt.
Strike up the band we're going to celebrate. :-)
I love this quilt, Vicky. :)
Your on a roll now. Love the sweet quilt. Enjoy!
Nice seeing you post... darling piece... false advertising-- makes you want one!!!!
You can make the continuous bias binding. The secret is having the right instructions, so I'll share the best ones I've ever seen.

And, to make your binding extra cute--use stripes or plaid whenever possible. I use bias binding on all my quilts--SOG wears out much too quickly.
so glad to see you are quilting again. Love the quilt pattern. Very sweet. Keep it up! K-
very pretty!!!! yeah your sewing again.
bias binding is easy I do it all the time...any questions just let me know
