Oh My Goodness 2024 is half over. Time to get out the list of stithing resolutions and pick up where I left off (wink). An UFO has come out of the closet and is being revitatlized. A floral design is being appliqued to the borders.

Binding and Rekindled UFO
Today I'm starting out with continuation of hand sewing quilt binding on the blue and white winding ways quilt. This photo shows the backing fabric. I try to find a coordinating fabric which gives more interest to the back. The lighting was not ideal for this photo, yet you can see the nautical print and the walking foot stitches.
While rekindling the UFO, a decision was made to add a

Final Stretch
Finally, the completion of the blue and white (B&W) quilt is getting near. All walking foot stitching is done. Today, I am attaching the binding.
The perfect blue fabric to complement the scappy look was found at a brick and mortar store where I take the sewing machine for its annual maintanence. Well, actually this year it was biannual (wink).In the past couple of weeks there was an interruption in finishing the B&W due to the need (desire) to make a toddler quilt.
In order to join along with talented hand stitchers at Kathy's Quilts, I'll be hand sewing the binding down on the back of quilt.
Have a good day!Jill
P.S. Technical glitch: I have no idea how the different size fonts and misaligned text happened. It's best to get this posted and back to sewing!

A few stitching projects are in the works this last week of January. One of this year's goal was to quilt more and sew far sew good.
The blue and white quilt is in the quilting stages. The decision was made to do straight line quilt with the rows one-half inch apart. First one-inch rows were stitched with a walking foot while following the walking foot guide. When all one-inch rows were completed, I went back and filled in another line in between. It is easy peasy as the walking foot fits in smack dab in the middle of the previously stitched one-inch lines.
