Guess what I'm doing? ;) (Not OT)

Yesterday was the day of the monthly get-together of a very small group
of quilting friends -- usually only three of us. We almost always spend
so much time talking, eating and looking at what we've all been doing
for the past month that we rarely actually accomplish any quilty stuff.

Yesterday a fourth friend joined us -- one we've been urging to do so
for some time. She walked in with her hands behind her back, and then I
saw what she was holding. It was my long-awaited Out of Darkness quilt
that I'd been assuring her I was in no rush for her to finish quilting!
WOWEE! The wait was *so* worth it!

She quilted it in black thread, so the effect is very subtle, except in
one spot, where she quilted a multicolored butterfly. But she McTavished
a lot of it and repeated some of the floral themes in various spots.
It's gorgeous!

So the answer to the subject of this message is that I'm sewing on
binding! The quilt is rather large, though, so it will take some time
before I can get it to a place where I can photograph it.

I'm so happy I can hardly sit still long enough to sew! VBG

I remember how much fun it was to bind the king sized quilt that was pro
quilted - I spent more time admiring than actually stitching lol

the pro had been given a free hand and had had a ball :-D

Ha! That's what I was gonna say! What a great way to get to know your new

"Fondle" isn't quite the word I'd use right now, Cindy! "Heave" is more
like it. LOL!
