Binding progress....................


In two sessions of hand stitching yesterday I finished one short side and 2/3 of the second long side.  (One long side finished Sunday.) 1 1/3 sides left to do.  I want to have this done and photographed by Wednesday.



I had pulled all of the dead pansies out of my porch pot after one of the hot spells.  I was surprised to see these two pop up a few weeks later.  They are officially Johnny Jump Ups, also called Viola, and they were planted in the center with all of the large yellow pansies surrounding them.  The chipmunk has dug through this pot so many times I'm surprised these have survived for almost 2 weeks now.

Most of Sunday's rain missed us and more predicted today.  I had just under 1/4" in my rain gauge.  I hope we get more this time.

  1. Looking forward to your finish. Hope you get some rain soon. We got .84 in our gauge yesterday and a chance for more tonight.

  2. In the last 6 hours we have gotten 3.25" and it is still raining. We needed rain but not all at once! LOL!!! Sounds like the binding will be done soon. What a fun surprise to find those flowers.

  3. Your hand stitching the bindings always gives your quilts the custom finish they deserve. And so nice to see the Viola’s in full bloom this time of year.

  5. Lovely colors and a well chosen binding fabric for this quilt!! Great progress on getting the binding sewn on, too.
    Each spring I intend to get viola seeds and haven't yet. Next year? Hope so!

    Hugs!
