Two to go. I finished binding three quilts yesterday, todays goal is to get them photographed and posted to the client. Which will lead to packing them up and shipping them. My goal is to have all this by Thursday. I got up this morning and my upper back was a bit sore, don’t know if it was the binding, the gardening or the stitching I did yesterday. Probably a bit of each. I have the backing for the seventh quilt, a twin sized version of the Dwelling pattern, set up on the frame. It would be good to get that ready to quilt too. Waiting on the sewing table are the 128 paper foundation pieced flying geese I need to finish. Blech. I cut all the triangles and printed all the papers. I really should just buckle down and chain piece for a few hours.

The Heaven and Nature cross stitch is coming along, I stitched the rabbit, flower motif and angel this week. I was going to insert my initials and date somewhere on this piece. I may just replace the numbers (1-10) on the right side with my initials and year. That way there would be no extra counting or messing around with the chart. I should do the border up and around the top, I am nervous it’s not going to meet up at the sides, but that happens with every sampler I make. It’s a given that there will be fudging involved. Even on the Pilgrims Progress piece I was a stitch off. Which reminds me, that piece should be ready to pick up in about two weeks. I broke down and brought it to the professionals to do. I just couldn’t get it straight looking on the foam core board. I figure that by self framing all my other pieces, I saved enough to let someone else do this one. I’m pretty suer I bought a frame for H&N, once I am closer to finished I’ll look for it.

Off to make some geese.

Be Kind.
