Hand sewing binding onto the tulip crumb quilt. Listening to early morning bird song as I stitch. #quilting #sewing #fiberart
Tulip crumb quilt with the red flower showing. Hand sewing brown binding fabric onto the quilt, and the backing fabric is a lovely leafy green design.

Binding the Polaroid cat quilt. Once the binding is machine stitched in place, then I can finally begin hand sewing it. #quilt #quilting #Cat #Caturday

I’ve been loom knitting. Donated 19 hats to my local United Way. The volunteer I spoke with said they are already receiving requests for warm clothing. So many in need. I have another hat in the works.😀 #UnitedWay #knittingtwitter #knitting

Jigsaw puzzle… A friend gifted me pieces of an abandoned project - cats in the garden fabric. I’m trying to figure out what to do with all these pieces. Perhaps divide them into a few smaller quilts, and donate them as comfort quilts. First step is a visit to the ironing board.

I’ve been sewing for our quilt guild’s boutique sale. This iPad holder was easy to make if you want to try sewing something different. The YouTube video is done well by Scrappy Patch. youtu.be/1sKGC4O7LOg #quilting #sewing #crafts

Julia Graves - String Pieced Curves - She showed how to create the illusion of curved piecing using fabric with straight edges. I’ll have to play with this piecing technique. #quilting soquilts.wpengine.com/piecin…
