Well… for the first time in quite a while my little sewing space was a hummin’ for the entire day!
One of my very kind friends offered to have the girls over to play at her house for me today so I could have a little time to myself…
Gee what to do, what to do?!…
Spend some time sewing uninterrupted of course!
I have had 10 Blankets of Love contributed by my CARE do Good.stitches bee sitting on my desk just waiting to be bound for an embarrassing length of time now. I had quilted them already but they needed their binding.
– Binding is my least favourite part of quilting (although cutting is a close second) so needless to say I have not been looking forward to binding 10 quilts and was procrastinating somewhat!
But it needed doing.
And I think my not getting it over with has possibly been partially responsible for my creative block.
So I decided to devote the day to getting them finished so that I could then {guilt free} move onto sewing something fun.
And hopefully then get my mojo fully back. Woop.
A start was made & before long I’d got into the groove was pumping them out, and I can’t believe it but I actually got all 10 finished in a day.
That makes me very very pleased!

The pile of all 10 finished today…
I also have 6 more which were sent to me finished to add to the pile, but I need to photograph those individually before I can show them to you.
How cool is that number though – 16 all ready to be sent to the hospital!!
Hopefully they will offer 16 families a little comfort while their babies are in the hospital.
So thank you so much everybody that contributed to making this happen!
I also finally got photos taken today {as requested} for sharing my machine binding process with you. Hopefully it won’t take me months to write it up now 😉
Anyway do you know what finishing those means?
Tomorrow I get to start a new project…
Eeeek!!! Can’t wait!
Impressive! What good works you do and how nice for the parents.
That’s amazing, Kat! They’re absolutely gorgeous and will be loved by their new homes.
Oh I so wish I lived nearer – I would have bound them with you xxx
How lovely of you, you wonderful dedicated woman!
Well done 🙂 10 in one day is quilte a lot! So now what? Have you got a special project planned yet?
Woohoo, well done! Happy guilt free sewing :o)
Gorgeous! I have been meaning to contact you actually. I have one finished and ready to send to you. I have another top done up but haven’t been able to get it quilted and finished. Remind me of your postal address and I will get the completed one sent to add to these 🙂 x
Those are all so nice and colourful, good for you to be done.
Great job Kat! And now, away you gooooooo!!!
