that's how I describe hand sewing the binding
onto a quilt.....
It is a labour of love
as I get up close and personal
with the fabrics, design and stitching again!

| A sneak peek of some of the quilting.. |
So a finish is imminent...
as I enjoy the hand stitching
of the binding of my "Ginger Kisses"....
indeed a labour of love!
Happy sewing...

Gorgeous - love how it is turning out. If the binding is the exclamation mark, the quilting is the icing on the cake.
Exactly the way I feel! I love hand stitching the binding :) Your very traditional hand quilting looks wonderful on this quilt. I need to pick a project to quilt with cotton thread rather than perle....it has been so long....
Susan, I love the glimpse of the quilting - it looks like it really was worth the time you spent. I'm really looking forward to this reveal! What a lovely description of the binding process.
Such a nice quilt!
The sprint at the end of the marathon. Very exciting....
I am so excited, you are almost finished! I can hardly wait to see it all done.
Can't wait to see more photos!
So exciting that you have almost finished. I can't wait to see it.
I love the handling of the quilt during the binding, too, Susan. I'm so excited to see your finish...I adore this patttern! Have i told you how crazy I am about the DS fabric that you used for the centers on the quilt...it's my favorite print in the line...love the other colors too, but the aqua is my fav!
Gorgeous, can't wait to see Ginger Kisses in its finished state. I'm another one who enjoys the slow stitching of the binding.
You have summed up perfectly how I feel about binding too :)
Cannot wait for the big reveal.
I love making the binding ... And Gypsy Kisses too :)
Your quilt is a vision splendid!! Love, love, love the beautiful patterns and dancing colours!!
Yeah ! looking forward to this!
I've been stitching down binding too. Its one of my favourite parts of quilting and I'm really looking forward to seeing your gorgeous quilt finished!
what a beautiful glimpse - can't wait to see the whole thing!
Looks fabulous!
Wonderful work. And I do agree. there is a real sense of achievement when the binding is being stitched down
I machined the binding on my last quilt due time constraints but it felt like I was letting the quilt down. Can't wait to see the finished quilt.
Oh exciting, you tease! I love hand sewing the binding, too. Apart from the enjoyment of the actual stitching it means you're nearly finished!
Worth every moment! Each step in the process brings out more beauty.
Great job!
