I have begun hand sewing the binding on the huge May quilt and as my friend Rachael suggested I'm taking it one stitch at a time... only a million more to go ;)
My awesome giveaway ends tomorrow so make sure you enter
HERE!
Then wing it over to Le Challenge to see my inspiration for this month!

one of my favourite parts that x
My favourite part too :)
I don't like hand sewing down the binding until I get past halfway - then I love it :-)
keep at it, you'll get there :-)
Ah good for you - I'm a machine binder all the way :o)
My favourite part- the exclamation at the end of a sentence!
Hey that's me!! :) I'm looking forward to seeing this mega quilt!
I actually love hand binding as well. I think I really just enjoy hand sewing/quilting in general. I have two little boys and a husband that prefer hand sewing as well, because it means I am not down in my sewing room, I can be with them and do it at the same time!
I'm too impatient to hand sew most bindings( I do occasionally do it), so well done for even starting!
Yup, one stitch at a time! Your photo reminds me of something....in the last year or so I've started zig zagging the edges of my quilts after attaching the binding and before hand stitching to the back. It totally keeps those loose threads in check and makes the binding process SO much easier. Or maybe those threads don't drive you as crazy as they drive me!!
I love hand sewing binding! Being snuggled up under all that quilt, slowly stitching away - heaven!!
I love sewing the binding down by hand. It feels soothing to me. Di x
Tat's a good chilling activity in front of the TV though and it looks so nice!
I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...
Slowly, slowly, stitchy monkey xxx
I find myself saying that binding is my fave part too, but in reality, sometimes it can be a chore if you are time pressed.
Pretty pretty binding! I admire hand sewn binding but don't have the patience to do it myself!
Always fun stitching down the binding...as you near completion! Visiting from Let's Get Acquainted. Have a great day.
I love hand sewing...while watching Neighbours!! I hope it goes well. :-) Stopping by from Plum and June.
