Slow stitching on a Sunday

I have two hand stitching projects underway this weekend.  I am doing the hand stitching on the binding for Abby's t-shirt quilt. Cathy at Eagles Wings quilts quilted this quilt on her long arm machine and I got it from her on Friday. I love the angel pantograph...



Saturday, my husband and I were out doing some Christmas shopping and I did some binding in the car on the way to and from our destination. I am over half way around the quilt now and hope to finish it off later Sunday.



While out on Saturday, we dropped into Cherished Pieces and I bought some threads to use for quilting my snowman runner.  I did not have the runner with me but I think the thread colours I purchased will work out just fine for this runner.



I have a charity quilt block to make for the Elgin Piecemakers this week so there should be another blogpost later this week.

Have a great day!

    Looks like you picked just the right threads! I really love your snowmen runner. I am thinking this would be a great way to use some of my mom's buttons she saved for so many years.

    Love the snowmen - can't wait to see more of them. And sewing down binding is my favorite part of a quilt. It means the end is in sight, and I have another finished quilt!!

    Very nice colours in the t shirt quilt. A nice contrast to the grey weather.

    What fun projects! Finishing a project is always good. I thinking a snowman runner will be the perfect project to beat the January blues. I always enjoy going to Cherished Pieces, it is a great store!
