Countdown to quilt within reach

Georgie has been here a week today....and is FINISHING,
yes people, FINISHING the binding on her disappearing 9 patch!
Now, can you believe that...kinda makes me feel magical.

Bias binding was an absolute must to learn.
I  told her it was a quilt police rule...no buying of binding at the store in the little packages, nada, gotta do it from scratch.
"why do I have to make bias binding?"
"because you WANT to learn how!"

We had deep fried turkey and Banoffee pie yesterday...she has sent for her things and is now moving in, lol! She likes weird suthrun foods.


Like a duck to water I tell ya. Houston, we have a problem.
