I'm In a Bind!

I was in a binding mood this week. Not because I enjoy binding quilts, it was because I had time to do it. My mom recently got out of a nine day ICU stay at the hospital and between the two hour long driving trips to visit her and now 'grandma-sitting' for my dad, I bound a few quilts.



This one I made at Relief Society. A group of us quilters decided to teach some of the women in our ward how to quilt. This is the row quilt we started with! Can you believe it? Do you think we could have picked an easier pattern? But I have to say...I think each one of the women can pick out any pattern and 'go for it'! I used a lot of scraps from my stash. What a nice feeling to use stash fabrics without purchasing more. (See my sweet Annie? She loves quilts too!)


This quilt was a BOM from Mormon Handicraft in St. George, Utah. My daughter wants it really bad! We'll see...after all Christmas is coming!



I have a few more to go...

Piece & Love,
Dawn

I just found you through Sherri. I don't like hand work but like to bind while watching Sunday football. Beautiful quilts. I'll be back to visit.

That's what I was doing this morning. I got the binding on two quilts today.

I love black in quilts. And plains. It makes the colors pop. Love both of them. This is really pretty ambitious for a RS project! How sweet of you to take the time to teach them. Good for you. And that kitty couldn't be cuter!
