Today was a good day. We had a customer audit at work that went well. I was able to leave work at 4:00pm and come straight home. (only a 9 hour day)
Once home I rested for a bit. I was tired. But after I talked on the phone with my husband. I got to work and trimmed up the quilt and got the binding on. I am trying something new with this one. I am going to fully machine bind it. I usually stitch the binding onto the front and then turn it to the back and hand stitch it down. This time I stitched the binding to the back and am turning it to the front. I will stitch it down with a decorative stitch. I even have the machine set up to start on it.
Tomorrow before work I will try to get the binding turned and clipped in place. Then when I get home. I will stitch it down. I am pretty stoked to get this one done. I am not happy with the quilting job I did, but I have learned a little more about my machine. And since this is a house quilt, trying something new only makes sense.
Have you tried something new lately?
